Can Steroid Injection for Rhinoplasty Cause Hump to Form on Bridge?

maryjane09May 12, 2010
I had some asymmetry after 4 months from when my rhinoplasty was performed. The doctor injected three shots of steroid on that side. It's been a week and a half and that side really hurts and now i notice a hump on the bridge of the nose that wasn't there before. Is this a side effect of the injection? Will it go away with time?
