Steroid injection five years after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

July 11, 2023
Asked By:Noladork2001 in North Carolina, NC

I'm still dissatisfied with my rhinoplasty. I've read somewhere that steroid injections can help with scar tissue. I like the profile view of my nose but the front view is still not to my liking. I often find myself using heavy contour to further refine my nose. It doesn't help at all. Would it be beneficial to consult with my surgeon about some type of steroid therapy to further refine my nose? My problem area is where I circled. Should I get a revision or bite the bullet and let it be?
