Q:<\/strong> I went to a diff plastic surgeon looking to refine my nose tip. He said most of the cartilage from my tip was taken out already; it is mostly thick skin left b\/c I’m thick skinned (Asian w\/ oily skin, larger pores). He recommended Kenalog injections to thin the tip out. But after researching, it seems that these injections are used to decrease scar tissue\/swelling within a year after rhinoplasty. So I’m wondering if Kenalog injections could be used to thin out the thick skin in the nose tip?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0<\/strong>The best way to create nasal tip refinement during Asian rhinoplasty is to create greater structural support for the tip of your nose, rather than to simply attempt to thin out the skin. \u00a0Kenalog injections may help to a certain degree, but only if you have appropriate tip cartilage support and strength.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
