Answer: Possible reasons for indentation
There are multiple explanations as to why you had a depression after Radiesse. There may have been too much filler in one area or not enough filler in that area. There could have been a scar tissue that the doctor was not aware about. Even an injection too close to the skin could have caused the indentation. Some possible treatments you can try is massaging the area, first and foremost. A steroid injection or a subcision to fill the scar tissue is an option. But see your dermatologist for more answers.
