Steroid injections or Accutane for swelling? (Photos)

February 24, 2024
Asked By:sk0401 in England, United Kingdom

I had a septorhinoplasty in the UK in July 2022 and my nasal bridge looks bigger than before. For context, I have thick oily acne-prone skin and I was told by my surgeon that it could take potentially 2 years to fully heal. I will be going on accutane soon for my acne and I have heard that it can potentially reduce appearance of the size of the nose due to the effects it has on sebaceous glands however I was considering steroid injections? Can anyone please advise?
