Scar tissue treatment

WORTH IT$10,500
So turns out I had a significant lump of scar tissue on the right of my nose! Its crazy to think that almost a year and a half later this could have happened-
I emailed Dr G and he said it looked like scar tissue and that a steroid injection would help. So I saw a surgeon in my hometown of Brisbane - dr belt and he agreed it was scar tissue. The indent above the scar tissue he said looked like a cartilage issue so im not sure if Dr G put enough support material there etc.
So I had a shot of kenalog my nose was even more swollen for about two days and by the fourth day the scar tissie was breaking down. That was over two weeks ago now and I feel it has worked really well! It was a low dose of kenalog
So now Im back to being happy with my nose. I hope it stays this way!

Concerned
neyney12January 15, 2017
So I am a little concerned now at 1 year and 6 months as my tip has changed a lot.
It has dropped, looks quite bulgy. Also on the right side I have a divot/indent and below the indent is a lump of tissue. I wonder how my nose could have changed so much in the last 6 months- will send through pics once I address my concerns with dr G. Im now a bit worried.

I saw your 14 month photo update and your nose looks great! Comparing it to your original photo, it looks like Dr. G did an amazing job. I can't see the bulgy tip in the pic, but your nose was hooked before and now looks pointy/feminine. Maybe a closer photo would reveal the concerns or they may be better visible in person. Did you ever visit Dr. G or talk to him about the tip and the indent/lump of tissue? I'm really curious if the tissue is stubborn swelling. Thanks for all the updates btw. I really like your results!

I can't believe how time has flown! Im still happy with my schnoz.
I feel like my columella has dropped a lot over this period of time. I still get a lot of tip swelling especially in the mornings so tonight I am going to try taping again to see if it makes a difference. Ive emailed and asked Dr G what could be causing this. I do have a lot of food allergies and love salt so I would not be suprised if that is all it is.
I was supposed to have a 1 year follow up wth Dr G in August, I had started a new job so there was no way I could fly tl L.A. I might try and get over there next year just to make sure everything has healed correctly.
I still have a bit of scar tissue on the inside left of my inner nose and top left inner tip but its so small it doesnt bother me.
I had no scarring from my incisions which I so grateful for as I have dark skin and tend to scar. I still think the silicon gel pads were great for preventing scarring and the wound healing gel really made a difference.
Here are a couple of recent piccies.
