Do I need steroid injection, which part of the nose & what doses? (Photos)

Question

I'm afraid this will soon be a polly beak, Maybe it is already like that now?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Supra-tip area undergoes significant changes in postoperative course. Due to "dead space" present postoperatively, it is possible that swelling, blood collection and consecutive scar, create undesired deformity like polly beak.  For that reason, taping of the nose for several weeks after surgery, as well as corticosteroid injection in supra-tip area (1-3 mg of Kenalog) may help to avoid this problem. Discussion with your surgeon would help.
