For someone who has a rare, thick granuloma caused by Restalyne filler on both cheeks, what kind of the cortisone injections should be used? Also, how can I avoid the side effects of such an injection? Thanks.

Answer: Kennalog Most physicians who do these injections prefer Kennalog. I like kennalog 2.5 mg./5cc. The injection is given directly into the granuloma. There is usually no complication but there can be fat atrophy or color change on rare occasion. The fat eventually returns to normal and the pigment comes back too. The amount injected is very small and it is diluted. For that reason there are no other side effects, ie. it does not travel throughout the body.
