Fat cut injection to the lower face, leaves dent and discolouration

January 9, 2024
Asked By:Genuine53331

6 months ago i got a fat cut injection to my lower face. 10 weeks after i noticed a hypopigmented dent appear along my right jaw line. The skin felt thin and 'old'. The clinic said that this was the steroid in the fat cut, and that it would resolve. I had it filled with filler twice. However, for the past 4 months it has had blueish discolouration. It feels like the flesh attached to my jaw is gone in this spot. Why is it blue, will this go away? Photos do not do justice of its bluenes
