Asked By:Versatile810657 in Rome, Lazio, Italy

In february 2023, I underwent a primary rhinoplasty procedure. The result was great! I managed to find time to go for a follow up in January 2024, almost a year later, where the doctor went ahead and injected cortisone on my nose bridge saying it was still a bit swollen (I didnt think so). A few weeks go by, and I notice a dark patch - like a shadow - forming in that area, with the skin looking slightly deformed. Its May now, and no sign of improvement.
