Asked By:paulaa in Pittsburgh, PA

I had filler in my cheek that created a hard lump. I have had two shots to try and dissolve it. I still have a hard lump and now a large divot in my face. doctor does not want to give me another shot for three months. I know just want it cut out. I am afraid this divot will not go away. What can I do?
