What other options should I consider for this dent in my face if the saline injection doesn't work? (photos)

Hi, I started noticing a dent on left side of my face when my smile line is close to my mouth almost 7 weeks ago. This is from a cortisone injection I received about 10 weeks ago. I’ve had 3 saline injections so far and no improvement. My dermatologist recommended maybe doing a filler if this last Saline injection shows no improvement. Could someone give me advice as this is so frustrating! Thank you!
