I am considering getting a closed rhinoplasty and am nervous about the potential for scar tissue build up after the surgery and requiring Kenolog shots to reduce this. Wondering if this is something that ONLY happens with an open rhino or is it more dependent on the person's skin/how they react to the surgery? Also, would the surgeon charge for these shots if they are necessary?
Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from your question the scar tissue. The scar tissue is mostly depends the patients skin type. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. It would be more convenient to decide with face-to-face consultation. Best Regards!

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hi @Magical833664! This is a great question. Steroid injections after a rhinoplasty may be required whether the procedure was done with an open or closed technique. The thicker the skin the more likely a steroid injection will be useful post-op. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Kenalog shots after Rhinoplasty? Swelling can last longer in thicker skin after a rhinoplasty. You did not mention if your nasal skin is thick, medium or thin. Are you worried about thick scars in the incisions? Prolonged swelling can last in thick skin whether an open or closed rhinoplasty is performed. I would not suggest Kenalog injections prophylactically but only if scarring occurs. kenalog is sometimes used to decrease the swelling in the tip of the nose.

Answer: Kenalog shots after rhinoplasty: Kenalog shots after rhinoplasty: Kenalog shots after rhinoplasty may be required whether the procedure was done with an open or closed technique. It depends more on the thickness of skin and the tendency to build up scar tissue in the area just above the tip. It is quite common particularly in those who want to have definition between the bridge of the nose and the tip, and have the maximum definition of the tip itself. The thicker the skin the more likely Kenalog injection will be useful in the postoperative period. I do not charge for the shots but that may vary from one surgeon to the next.
