Hi all! My previous question was related to the residual fullness ( swelling? Scare tissue?) I have in the tip of my nose being 1 year out from rhinoplasty. I talked to my surgeon over a zoom meeting and he said I could come on in for a steroid shot. I've seen a lot of doctors say steroid shots prove useless past 6 months post op. What are your thoughts about me getting them? Will the steroids help with the slight asymmetry of the tip of my nose and help reduce the fullness?
