Is it necessary to use steroid injections or is it possible to allow time to heal swelling?

Asked By:ZZZ16 in Tustin, California

Hello, I am exactly 6 months post-op and I do see swelling all around the tip (round, almost bulbous) of my nose and ends right before it reaches the supratip break area. If I choose not to utilize any steroid injections will time itself reduce the swelling in the same way the injection would have done faster? Or would end result be different vs injection.
