Steriod Injection After Revision Rhinoplasty Cause Atrophy?

meag1887
I had a steriod injection following revision rhinoplasty to help with some scar tissue formation after noticing a "bump" on the bridge of my nose at 6 weeks postop. Since then, I've developed slight atrophy in the area of injection and my skin appears to have less color in that area. I'm about 8 weeks postop now. How soon will I notice a difference in pigment again and will the tissue rebuild in my nose at all?
