I'm 9 weeks post op of my extensive open rhinoplasty. I have thick, oily skin that will hold on to swelling longer, but no excess scar tissue as of yet. Can a Kenalog injection be used to reduce how swollen my nose tip is and decrease the time it'll hold onto the fluids responsible for the swelling? I was told by a surgeon that it's only used for excess scar tissue in the supra tip and would be of no use to me but I also read it's used for swollen tips--even if it's normal swelling like mine.
