1 year post rhinoplasty. Will steroid injections help target slight asymmetry and reduce residual fullness?

Hi there! I do believe that steroid shots even after 6 months can help. Swelling at the tip in particular can take past 12 months to refine itself. In the interim, as long as done carefully, steroids encourage the skin to contract around the underlying structure. This, and taping with compressions, helps to refine the tip. Hope this helps!

Thank-you for your question. Steroid shots are helpful in the postoperative period during the phase of inflammation. There is a downside as well, and that is dissolving some of the subcutaneous fat resulting in a small depressed area. After most of the swelling is gone and there is no variation between the morning and evening , steroid injections are not helpful and may be counterproductive.
