Swelling at Supratip 9 Months Post-Third Rhinoplasty?

February 14, 2013
Asked By:anon12939

I had my third rhinoplasty about nine months ago to remove fatty tissue on the right side supratip region and push the right bone in towards the center to make the nose straight. Immediately after the cast was removed, the nose looked absolutely perfect, but a couple days later there was severe swelling where the tissue was removed from. Since then, the nose has appeared to be swollen there. Can kenalog help at this stage? How likely is it that the nose will heal further?
