What is the Point of Kenalog Injections into Columella? Made A Dent At The Top of My Nose.

lala5Apr 16, 2012
My columella healed very crooked after open rhinoplasty. My surgeon injected the columella and tip area twice with Kenalog but stopped after I developed a dent on top of my nose.

Good evening. After rhinoplasty (nasal surgery), your nose can become REALLY swollen, and this swelling can take a LONG TIME to resolve (up to 1-2 years to fully resolve). Shortly after surgery, as in your case, the main concerns are epistaxis (nosebleeds) or worsening the swelling. When you...
