Is it okay to have Kenalog shots injected by a provider other than my original surgeon?

Thank you for your question.

In general, there is a continuing treatment, but many times people have surgery in a different city or a different country and it becomes challenging to travel for these injections. I suggest that if you want to have injections with a different provider, you should ask them size to do a smaller amount than what they would normally do just to make sure that the chance of complications is minimised.

Once you feel more comfortable with the treatment with the new surgeon, you will probably feel that you can allow them the latitude to decide what is best for you. This also gives the opportunity for the surgeon to evaluate your tissue response which varies from person to person.

Hard to say if kenalog injections would be of any benefit this far out from surgery. I always do these injections free of charge. Might be worth calling your original surgeon again. Hard to believe a surgeon would charge for it
