I know you have to get four shots in total, how much will that cost? Thank you
Answer: Rhinoplasty If you're going back to your original surgeon for the injections I think you should not pay at all. Otherwise they are cheap, may $100 each time

Answer: Rhinoplasty Steroids You do NOT need four shots, usually just one, or sometimes a second treatment several months later works quite nicely to shrink down skin of the nose, defining a smaller, cuter, result. We use Kenalog 40, more potent than Kenalog 10, which perhaps is the foundation of our success in a single (inexpensive) session.

Answer: Rhinoplasty injection Hello and thank you for your question. If you are being administered steroid injections to improve excess scarring and inflammation after a rhinoplasty, then this is typically done anywhere from several weeks to several months after a rhinoplasty once adequate healing has occurred, and will likely not be an additional fee. Please discuss this with your plastic surgeon.For more information on rhinoplasty, please refer to the link below.Good luck.Mark K Markarian, MD, MSPHHarvard-trained Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Steroid shots after a nose job Hi. Im not sure where you are coming up with the info that you have to get 4 shots. There is no such thing. If you had a nose job and your surgeon sees excess scar tissue then he may recommend a steroid injection. The first injection determines if you need more. You may only need 1 shot. Or you may need 2 or you may need 10. Its hard to tell because it depends on your reaction to each shot. Personally I do not ever charge my patient for a steroid shot after I have done their nose job unless someone else did the surgery. Most of the time I will not inject a nose that I did not operate on because only the surgeon can tell what is scar tissue and what is excess cartilage. Steroids do have risks and can cause skin dimples.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and steroid shots Rhinoplasty is a surgery to improve the shape of the nose for breathing or appearance.Steroid (Kenalog or triamcinolone) injections are selectively used after a rhinoplasty surgery to manage scar tissue or thick skin. There are different strengths available. Kenalog-40 is more potent than Kenalog-10. I only perform conservative steroid injections on my own rhinoplasty patients. The risk with steroid injections is thinning the skin too much. This is called dermal atrophy, which is difficult to treat. I would discuss this with your own surgeon for a safe and happy outcome. Safety comes first.
