Steroid injection into nasal bridge

Question

I am 15 months post-revision rhinoplasty. My nasal bridge is noticably wider than the tip and has been so for some time. I was instructed to tape the bridge up until now and then recently offered a steroid injection into the bridge and possible rasping later. The final shape of the bridge was apparent a while ago; while the tip continued to develop gradually. Is a steroid injection at 15 months for a wide nasal bridge (both sides) normal practice at this late stage?

Reason we do not recommend steroid injections in the nasal bridge area is because the nasal bridge skin tends to be very thin. If you still have a wide nasal appearance 15 months after rhinoplasty, it could be that there was inadequate in fracturing of your nasal bones after hump removal. Please consider Consulting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialist so you can see what might be best for you moving forward. I hope this is helpful! Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand form your question steroid injections will not help you to get rid of wide nasal bridge also it would not a permanent solution. If you can provide photos from front of your face, 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!
