Huge dent and discolouration from steroid injections (Photo)

This will need fillers or fat to improve unforunately.  I suggest seeking a facial sculpting expert for treatment.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  One of the side effects of steroid treatment includes fat atrophy, thinning of skin, and telangiectasia (small blood vessel) formation.  I am sorry to see what has happened after your treatments and do think that some degree of fat grafting will likely be required to try and improve the contour irregularity.  Allow your results to fully mature over the next couple of months and once stable, seek treatment.  Best of wishes.

In my opinion, many people with steroid atrophy return to normal within six to nine months without any additional treatment. Should this not be the case, there are a few treatment methods that are helpful. Subcision, saline injections, filler injections, as well as fat transfer. The discoloration is best treated with a laser. It is possible to combine subcision with a filler or fat. The combined treatment often gives a better result. Seek physicians who have experience . Ask to see photos. Hope this helps. Good luck.
