Indentation formed after receiving injection to decrease swelling post op rhinoplasty. Can it be fixed? (Photo)

hbp927
I received a rhinoplasty and septoplasty about 4 months ago now. Right after surgery my nose looked perfect, but was a little swollen. So my surgeon decided to give me an injection to decrease swelling. About a week later an indentation had formed and it never went away. My surgeon tried to fix this by giving me a saline injection and an injection meant to reverse these effects but neither worked. My skin is now so thin you can see every little bump in the bone as well. What can be done?
