I had Botox injected 4 weeks ago and it has left me with an indented scar at the injection site. How can I fix? (photo)

I had Botox done by a plastic surgeon approximately 4 weeks ago in my forehead. When the surgeon injected me they said "oh gosh, sorry this is going to bruise." I was left with a red forehead that I applied cold compresses to. Maybe about 4 days passed & my forehead began to scab! The entire time I still thought it was all just bruising. About two weeks ago, I noticed that the area the plastic surgeon injected was a indented scar! Given that it has been about 4 weeks, is it too late?
