After my first injection I see that the shape of my nose looks different and I no longer love it. I'm sad. It looks like there is a depression. It's straight on the top and a depression has formed in between the bone and the tip. The tip is lifted but it no longer looks natural and beautiful. Can it be reversed or will it be a permanent demage? It's only been 3 weeks and I was so happy with my new nose. It was super straight and even before Please help.
Answer: Kenalog after rhinoplasty Thank you for your question. Photos would be very helpful to evaluate this. I would say that since you are only three weeks after the procedure, you should let some time pass. You should definitely follow up with you plastic surgeon. Sometimes a filler injection can help with the slight contour depression if it persists.

Answer: Steroid Injections after Rhinoplasty Many rhinoplasty surgeons use steroid injections to help lowering inflammation after nasal surgery and with that decrease swelling and potentially the amount of scar tissue production.Because of the increased tip swelling, these treatments tend to be more frequently performed after open rhinoplasty than following an endonasal surgery. In expert hands, this treatment should be safe and effective. If injections are performed in an inadequate way, skin changes or even skin loss can result.

Answer: Kenalog Steroid injections to the nose can be very useful to help improve swelling and scar issue. However, one must use a low-dose and be very judicious in its use. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon who can examine the area. It could be that the swelling in the area of the injection has just gone down much more quickly than the surrounding tissue and that things will even out with time.

Answer: Kenalog to nose 3 weeks post rhinoplasty and now a depression, what can I do? fillers? Thank you for your question.It would be super helpful to have before and after pictures, and before and after Kenalog injection pictures.Kenalog is an anti-inflammatory steroid so perhaps the look you liked before was due to some swelling and kenalog took care of some of it.Kenalog can also give you dermal and fat atrophy as a complication. That sometimes get better over many months, but can sometimes be permanent.Adding some filler to the area is a great option "to buy time" until a much later evaluation 6-12 months later. Make sure the injector is experienced as risk of tip necrosis is real when doing fillers after a rhinoplasty surgery.Hope this helps a little bit!Kind regards,Dr. marc DuPere

Answer: Can a kenalog injection ruin rhinoplasty results? 3 weeks po Yes unfortunately one of the side effects of steroid injection is depression or contour defects due to soft tissue atrophy. I would allow 3-6 months and you may then consider some filler in the area to smooth out the contour.
