2 months post op cortisone injection, I have fat atrophy. Is this normal?

Americanbeautyqueen
I had a cortisone injection for a minor blemish about 2 months ago, and the skin began to atrophy. I then went and saw my dermatologist and he put a juvaderm filler in it. I think it looks worse, see a blue almost bruised tint? It has now been a little over 2 months since initial cortisone shot and I don't know what to do. I am seeing a plastic surgeon in 2 weeks to discuss. Please look at my face and help me- no makeup on the spot. Suggestions welcome.
