Question:
The tip of my nose is very hard and swollen since my nose job. Can steroid injections improve this?
Answer:
I use steroid injections within the first month of surgery when the patient has very thick skin and I am trying to encourage shrinkage and thinning. Beyond that they probably aren’t helpful. In your case it would be important to know how long you are after surgery, if the hardness is due to graft placement to create shape or scar formation.
