I’m about 6 months post-op and have been receiving k10 injections every 3ish months as advised by my surgeon. about 3 weeks ago, i received another k10 shot and now notice a small dent in my nose. is this a permanent dent? will my body naturally correct it in a few months?

Answer: Dent in the nose after Kenalog Injection: Dent in the nose after Kenalog Injection: Kenalog is a steroid which is frequently injected after rhinoplasty, particularly in the supratip area, to reduce scar issue and swelling. I have found over the years that Kenalog has a two phase action. It tends to diminish score tissue and swelling with peak effect at 3 to 4 weeks and then have a partially diminishing effect over the next 3 to 4 weeks. It’s like taking five steps forward then two steps backward. The net three steps forward will be permanent. However at the stage you are right now at three weeks some of the indentation is likely to disappear over the next three weeks . Since the dent in your picture seems very minor, a slight regression is all you need. A very slight indentation above the tip sets the tip apart from the bridge which is usually considered a desirable feature however more so in women than men.

Answer: Small dent after Kenalog 10 injection? If still present at 3 months post last K 10 injection then try HA filler to een out. Fees in $700-$1,000 ranges. Best to ask injecting MD.
