Question

I had rhinoplasty abroad recently and I am experiencing some supra-tip swelling!

Can you provide steroid injections to reduce swelling and possible scar tissue?

I was also interested in reshaping and reducing the size of my ears. Is there a limit to how much they can be changed?

Answer

I would be happy to assess the situation and discuss whether treatment of the scar tissue in the supra-tip is indicated.

I would however prefer if you could also confirm with your surgeon whether he or she is happy with this line of action, and I would suggest that you follow their guidance at least for the early stages after the surgery.
