Filler after dent on forehead caused by Cortisone Injection?

September 6, 2016
Asked By:hohenheim in Toronto, ON

I have a dent from a kenalog injection for a cyst. I found out that the provider did not dilute the cortisone (10 mg/cc). I understand the atrophy is self-limited and will refill in a few months but it is quite noticeable and is bothering me. Is it safe to fill the depression with a filler a few weeks after the cortisone injection while the fat regenerates? Will the filler have any adverse effects on fat regeneration? If the fat regenerates faster than the filler dissolves will there be a lump?
