What can I do to treat a dent in my nose after cortisone injections? (Photos)

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

I find that saline injections every 2-4 weeks works great, although it may take 3-6 treatments. If that's not enough or you need a fast improvement, then putting in some filler is a good option. Best to see a highly trained and experienced physician such as a dermatologist for injecting pimples and/or for resolving dents.

Depressions, dents, or irregularities after cortisone or steroid injections might be treated with a facial filler injection. If you haven't already, then speak with a plastic surgeon or dermatologist to review potential options.

Hello, thanks for your inquiry
your case is very common due to those type of injections , a derma filler willl work well on making the dent more even, the downside is that is not a permanent solution, other option is, to do a minor surgery and remove that part of the skin, this will leave a scar, but if it is well done it wont be noticeable .
