Fibrosis on thin skin following rhinoplasty. Best way to proceed? (Photos)

jess0216
Hi, I have thin skin & before I had rhinoplasty, the doctors that I considered mentioned fibrosis was nearly impossible in my skin type. However about 2-3 weeks after the procedure, my nose appeared somewhat deformed. My doctor said it was fibrosis and began injecting steroids, I'm only writing to get 2nd opinion. I trust my surgeon but he's out of state. Are steroid injections enough, are there other ways to deal with fibrosis on thin skin? Thanks
