Swelling 13 months later after kenalog injections? (Photos)
July 10, 2021
Asked By:Angels2000 in Perth, Western Australia, Australia
I had rhinoplasty 13 months ago I have thick skin. I am so happy with the size and shape of my nose however the sides are still so swollen (my main concern!) And tip is rounded. I'm not sure if its scarring or swelling I have had about 5 kenalog injections and they seem to help but I feel like the nose swells again. Can swelling reoccur again after kenalog injections? When I squeeze my nose with my fingers the sides go in for a second and then push out again. Any help would be appreciated.
