Answer: Steroid Injections Not Indicated For Nasal Reduction Kenalog (Steroid injections) are not indicated to reduce the size of the nose. There are side effects including thinning of the skin, hypopigmentation, telangiectasias ("broken blood vessels"), possible weakening of the cartilages, and other problems. It is occasionally used AFTER surgery for edema or scar management.

Answer: Kenalog injections may not be helpful for reducing the width or size of your nasal tip. We may use dilute triamcinolone acetonide (Kenalog) injections for stubborn swelling above the tip after rhinoplasty surgery. I am not aware of the indication or advisability of Kenalog injections for reducing nasal-tip size, without a history of prior nasal surgery.Hope this helps you.Dr. Joseph

Answer: Kenalog as a Primary Treatment for a Bulbous Nasal Tip? Kenalog as a primary way to reduce the volume of your nasal tip is not only a bad idea, it's a terrible idea. Kenalog can be used after a Rhinoplasty to minimize swelling or reduce scar tissue. Steroid injections will lead to atrophy of normal, healthy nasal tissue and is not likely to produce the type of changes that you will be happy with.

Answer: Kenalog injections to reduce the bulbous tip Kenalog injections are not used to reduce a cartilaginous bulbous tip. After the rhinoplasty procedure, Kenalog injections can be used to reduce swelling, edema, and scar tissue formation in the supratip area of the nose. Kenalog injections are only placed after the surgery, not before. To reduce the bulbous nasal tip requires suture techniques applied to the lower lateral cartilages of the nasal tip. Digital computer imaging would be helpful to understand what can be accomplished with your nose upon your patient features. For many examples and more information about reducing the bulbous tip surgically, please see the link and video below
