Could fullness of the supratip 8 years post rhinoplasty be scar tissue?

Asked By:Dga28 in Santa Ana, CA

I had a Septo Rhinoplasty performed 8 years ago. Since the surgery, there has been fullness of the supratip that I don't like. The fullness varies where it might be fuller at one point in the day and then it slims out a bit. Is it possible this is scar tissue that could benefit from a cortisone shot this many years after surgery? Can the surgeon determine whether it is scar tissue? Thank you.
