I have had 6 kenalog injections at 8 weeks apart & it has done nothing to my tip. I feel the bridge is scooped & there is no shape to my nose from the front. My nose is actually wider than pre op & The tip is not defined. My surgeon said he is going to give me injections for another 8 months, if it is cartilage & not tissue that needs to be manipulated than he will revise. I have included pics pre op & post op.
