Hypopigmentation after one Kenalog injection? Will the color ever come back? What can be done to get color back? (photos)

April 2, 2015
Asked By:melinky in Beverly Hills, CA

I received one injection of Kenalog to break up scar tissue post lipo. 3 months later, I see a white spot and a depression in skin. Even if I get a fat transfer, will the pigmentation come back? Will fillers help? Laser? What can I do to get the color back? HELP!

After myomectomy over 2 years ago, I lost 40lbs through diet and exercise. Still have pooch in lower abdomen, will it ever go?
Camille Cash, MD says:

Without any photos it is hard to answer your question.  If the "pooch" as you describe it is mostly loose skin with a little fat, then chances are it will remain.  Do you notice it changing at all with your efforts? If you do, then it should continue to change, but it may not be at a rate you a...
