Dent and Redness After Kenalog Injections on Breast

May 20, 2009
Asked By:K in SoCal in Los Angeles, CA

I had a breast augmentation done about 3 years ago. However, about a month ago, I saw a bump, near my left breast. It looked as though it was a bone showing a little due to my weight loss. I went to my surgeon to make sure everything was okay, and he thought it was a capsule and injected it with a small dose of kenalog. Almost immediately the surrounding sking turned red. Three weeks later, the skin is still red, and now have rippling, and my cleavage on one side looks flat. It's not like the round look my breast used to have. Will the redness ever go away? Is the dent ever going to fill so my breast will look round again? Is there anything I can do to make this better?
