I was hesitant to have it fixed with him but was told it is best to stay with the same surgeon. Almost 6 months post and the bridge of my nose is still very swollen with a dorsal bump. I asked my surgeon if steroid injections was an option and he claimed it was too dangerous higher on the nose. Is this true?

In our experience, deep alar creases from rhinoplasty may be permanently softened with microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections. If you have no breathing issues, this may be a cost effective solution without downtime. Hope this helps. Dr Joseph
