It's been a little over a year since my rhinoplasty. My tip was still swollen and had scar tissue on one side, causing it to look like a ball under the skin. I recently had Kenalog injections on that side, and it seems to be diminishing. Can Kenalog can also be injected on the bridge of the nose ? When I stretch the skin back, it looks a lot better. I'm not sure if there is excess scar tissue. Photo w towel on my head is one week after injection , the rest are before injection. Thx (:
Hi, I am 38 and had my surgery 10 months ago. My tip area looks full, is too long and bulbous. I don't think it's swelling anymore, but is probably scar tissue as it is hard and not liquidy. My ENT surgeon refuses to do a secondary on me and very reluctantly agreed to a kenalog shot. My questions: 1. How prevalent are the risks from it? I find no info online. 2. If it's indeed scar tissue and not swelling, should I even get it? 3. In your opinion, would a secondary help here?
Im 7 months post primary rhinoplasty. I still have quite a bit of swelling, and my surgeon said he might give me a kenalog injection in 5 months to help with the swelling. However, I just started taking Accutane for my skin and will be on it for 8-12 months. Could I still get the kenalog injection even though Im on Accutane? Would Accutane affect the efficacy or safety of kenalog injections?
I developed a polybeak in the supratip area of my nose and the sides after rhinoplasty. Had 3 Kenalog injections but did not work. What is the maximum amount of kenalog shots that can be given to me and what happens if kenalog shots still does not work?
I live in London and planning to get a rhinoplasty in a couple of months to fix my bulbous tip. From watching videos and researching, I know that if my nose doesnt heal properly due to scar tissue I would need kenalog shots. Would I be charged for those shots?
I had a rhinoplasty about 6 months ago and notice that my nose is still a little upturned and looks like its forming polly beak deformity. I just had a Kenalog injection for allergies on my hip/butt area. Will this help with the inflammation and polly beak deformity on my nose? Update: Additional photos added
Hi there, I am a 22 year old female. I had my rhinoplasty august of 2022. My process for rhinoplasty was good at the start, 6 months after my rhinoplasty I had little to no swelling and my nose looked amazing. I have fairly thick skin prior to my rhinoplasty. at 14 months post op i got hit in the face with a soccer ball. my nose has been swelling since then some days more than others. Will Kenalog injections help? I am so sad there was no swelling before, i loved my nose.
Hello! Im five months post op from an open rhinoplasty I had done in Istanbul. While I love my new nose, as the swelling was going down I noticed a spot of hypopigmentation and bumps along my bridge about two months ago. I consulted with my surgeon and asked him if the hypopigmentation was caused by the kenalog injection I received. He said no because they dont inject in that region, but I believe that did. I was advised to visit dermatology in two months. Will this go away on its own??
