Got a dent after cortisone injection for a raised scar, is it possible my doctor will do fillers to fix it without charging me?

Asked By:Annacbolton in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Had a raised scar under the skin which my derm injected with cortisone.In a week or 2 I notice a dent right next to the bump and the bump didnt flatten but the dent appeared right next to it.I hadn't had any acne so I think it was the shot.I called him about it and he said it should go away but he'll look at it in a few days.Been 4 weeks since I first noticed it and I think its improved but there's still a dent. Is there a chance my dr will do filler without making me pay since I didnt cause it?
