Asked By:lynor85 in San Antonio, Texas

I got a rhinoplasty in2021. I loved my nose straight out the cast. I had edema in my radix but that resolved. As time went on, the bridge of my nose began to appear swollen, some days are better than others.When I press down on my nose, the skin is soft and moves according to my finger pressing on it. My Dr inTurkey recommended getting steroid injections of at least 3-4 mg. The doctor I went to in the US did not think it was swelling bc it’s Soft but my nose did improve. Pls lmk your thoughts!
