Will Steroid Injection be helpful? (Photo)

Question

Hi Doctors, I had my first rhinoplasty 15 months ago in Istanbul Turkey. Overall i am very pleased with the outcome of my side profile. However, i am not happy with my front profile. The sides of my nose along the dorsal lines are tender to touch. It feels like scar tissue creating the asymmetry. I spoke with my doctor virtual from my hometown Vancouver Canada. He he suggested steriod injections and that I fly back to Turkey for 1 injection. Im looking for a second opinion

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, you appear to have a wide appearance on front view and an overall pleasing nasal appearance. The width on front view could be post-surgical swelling since you had revision rhinoplasty and you appear to have relatively thick nasal skin. The best advice I could give is to sit tight for another 6 months. The only time we recommend Steroid injections after rhinoplasty is when there is supratip swelling. All other cases of diffuse nasal swelling are typically not suitable for steroid injection. Hope this helps! Dr Joseph
