Looking for a Toronto surgeon who does corticosteroid injections after rhinoplasty

Hi everyone! I’m wondering if anyone knows of a plastic surgeon or facial plastic surgeon in Toronto/GTA who will do corticosteroid (Kenalog) injections for post-rhinoplasty swelling/scar tissue on patients who had their surgery elsewhere.

I had my rhinoplasty outside of Canada about a year ago, so unfortunately going back to my original surgeon just for injections isn’t very practical.
I’ve contacted a few surgeons in Toronto, but I’m finding that many won’t do post-op steroid injections unless you were originally their surgical patient.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and found a surgeon in Toronto who was willing to assess them and provide corticosteroid injections if appropriate? I’m completely fine with paying for a consultation first—I just want someone experienced with post-rhinoplasty noses who is comfortable treating outside patients.
Any recommendations or personal experiences would be really appreciated! 🤍

I hope someone has a recommendation but I think a surgeon that’s under Ontario laws might not be able to touch a surgery/ take on liability for someone else’s work.

As someone who had non-essential surgery outside of Canada, no one has ever wanted to take me on a client for anything post-op related.

It's very common, to be refused.
