Steroid Injections for Decreasing Nose Bridge Height?

T
tiana36Mar 27, 2009

I am an Asian female, and I had an open revision rhinoplasty using rib graft, done over 6 months ago. I think the level of the bridge is too high. I want to have the bridge lower. Will steroid injections decrease the height of the bridge?
