I am 5 months postop from a revision rhinoplasty. I do not know whether I am developing a pollybeak and if I should get some steroid injections, or is it just swelling. Thank you for your help.

Answer: Polly Beak?
Doesn't look like you have a polly beak to me. But you probably have some swelling still. Give it time to heal.

Answer: Post Rhinoplsty Polybeak Deformity
Thank you for sharing your concerns and images. At 5 months swelling is still a problem when making an evaluation of results. You appear to still have some fullness in the radix and tip that should continue to improve with a tincture of time. Be patient and share your concerns with your surgeon. He is the best judge of whether a steroid injection might provide benefit based on what he can palpate and his insights from the maneuvers performed during the surgical procedure. I hope this helps. Take care.
