What is the best treatment for two depressions in my face caused by cortisone injections? (Photos)

December 8, 2020
Asked By:Magical271293 in England, United Kingdom

I was injected in 2 places with cortisone for acne cysts (above lip and corner of mouth) leaving me with depressions in the skin! I was told by the derm that if the skin pits I could get filler. I’ve since been told that this will work but won’t heal it completely but also been told that filler can cling to scar tissue and make the indent look worse!! Would filler be best? I’ve also been recommended saline and I’ve read about fat grafting? It’s hard to know who’s advice to follow.
