Improving Depressed Scars and Fat Atrophy from Steroid Injections?

deformedbydentist
I'm 30 y.o. female who received 3 Dexamethasone shots in my bum after wisdom tooth extraction approx 3-4mos ago. I developed very large, deep depressed scarring/fat atrophy. Almost 1/3 of my butt cheek is gone due to atrophy. It's freaky. My research revealed saline injections for depressed scars. I self-injected myself once already in scar area with simple saline 0.9 %. I did almost 60 1cc shots. If I keep it up for 8wks do you think it'll help? Is there something else I can do? I really hoping that it will fill in one day. Pls HELP. Thank you.
