Hello, I had a revision rhinoplasty about two years ago, and it was partially to fix a overbearing pollybeak. The surgeon did not perform this service during surgery, though, and since, the pollybeak has become severe (3+ centimeters high). While I believe that part of the pollybeak is indeed cartilage from an severely pinched primary rhinoplasty, I also believe that scar tissue may have also played a role, and if so, could a steroid shot help? Would there be any negatives in trying this?
