Can I get Steroid Injections for Decreasing Nose Bridge Height?
I am an Asian female, and I had an open revision rhinoplasty using rib graft, done over 6 months ago. I think the level of the bridge is too high. I want to have the bridge lower. Would steroid injections decrease the height of the bridge?
steroids for nasal contour
Thanks for your question - Steroid injection is not a safe way to correct nasal contour. It is difficult to control the end result and you are likely to have skin hypopigmentation, possible graft infection and tissue atrophy. It would be much better to address the position, shape and size of the graft. This would likely require additional surgery.
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose to improve facial harmony and, when indicated, correct functional breathing issues. The procedure can address dorsal humps, wide or bulbous nasal tips, asymmetry, nostril size, and overall nasal proportion. Rhinoplasty is one of the most technically demanding procedures in plastic surgery.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons recommends choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon for any cosmetic procedure.
