Prolonged use of hydrocortisone use left my skin discolored, thin and rough, is a fat transfer a good solution?

Me myselfJan 28, 2020

I was offered a fat transfer. Is this my best route? Are they’re bad side effects from this procedure like Lumps? Are other options better. If so what are they? Please help. Need advice.
