How do I reduce bulbous nasal tip two years+ after surgery? (Photo)

Question

Bulbous nasal tip 2 years after surgery I had a septorhinoplasty 2 years ago. My nasal tip pre op was always very fine but post surgery it looks bulbous. I am considering a cortisone shot. My surgeon has since retired unfortunately. What would you recommend?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

We do not advocate the use of steroid injections in the nasal tip, especially in somebody that has thin nasal skin, since this can lead to visible indentations in the skin and thinning of the skin. Based on your photos, you appear to have relatively thin and red nasal tip skin with an asymmetrically bulbous nasal tip appearance. Generally, conditions like this may require revision Rhinoplasty surgery. Thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
