Steroid shots to treat the deviation - is it worth it? (photos)

Question

It will be one year since my revision rhinoplasty in 13 days. My nose seems crooked and too long for my face. It wasn't like this prior to revision. My surgeon say to go into the office to get steroid shots to treat the deviation but I'm not sure if worth it or if will have a satisfactory outcome. Should I opt for another revision? :/ last picture is before and after revision.

Hi @almostready18. Thank you for your photos. Steroid injections would not help to correct a deviation. Steroid injections are used to help reduce swelling of the tip area. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Marc Polacco, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. While I would have to look at the operative report to know exactly what was done, steroid injections would be unlikely to help correct a deviation. Typically steroid injections are used to help reduce swelling of the tip area, and that's usually done in the first few weeks after surgery. It will be important to discuss your concerns and goals with your surgeon. Best of luck!
