1 Year Post-OP
This Friday the 13th will mark my one year anniversary of my rhinoplasty. It has definitely been a journey-emotional, physical, financial. While I am still making payments towards the operation, I am glad I did not put it off. While it is not perfect (i still feel the tip is a bit bulbous), I feel more feminine, the bump is gone and the tip has decreased in size. I no longer feel self-conscious when it comes to my nose. My PS recommended a blepheroplasty (spelling that right?) I laughed and said maybe when I am older...one procedure at a time!! I am still processing the last procedure lol Im glad I went through it.
1 Month Post 1st Injection of Kenalog: 7 months Post OP
Hi-Good news: no side effects from Kenalog that I am aware of thus far. My PS did inject my nose with a more diluted solution, which is recommended as the first dosage. I will return for my second Kenalog shot May 22, 2017. I am really glad I opted to go for the shot as you can see the stubborn swelling has gone down. I noticed that days after I worked out, my nose would be the most swollen. Now, I feel my nose is settling and perhaps with the boost of the steroid, swelling is no longer a big issue day after workout. I hope my before and after provides you with some info. I had a reallllly hard time finding before and afters of kenalog post rhinoplasty!!!! One thing I am still not pleased with is the droopy columenalla (spelling?). I will ask PS in a couple weeks if kenalog will be assisting with that as well.
Steroid continued
I also forgot to mention, my PS told me I have "thick skin". I find this odd as I am very fair skinned with other "fine" facial features. I asked "how can you tell that I have thick skin"? He stated that by looking at sides of my nostrils and comparing it to models he pulled up on google image search (not sure that was very professional but ok) that my thicker nostrils meant I have thicker skin...which in turn means the results of rhinoplasty wont show up as much as someone with thinner skin. I opted for the shot to thin said skin on my nose---really hoping for no adverse side effects!!!
