Kenalog Dent

About 3 months ago I had kenalog injected into my TT scar and also lasered (whisper). 1 month ago I had my second laser treatment. Last night I noticed a dent near my scar and the skin looks thinner there. I say thinner because I can really see alot of veins I didn’t see before.
Googling this brings me to the kenalog? Is there anything that can be done to stop the dent from getting worse or fixing it?
I plan on calling my PS Monday but this is just really bothering me!
Thanks!
Melissa

Hi Melissa,
The dent is not going to be a major problem. It does sometimes happen from kenalog injection, but its easy to fill it in. It generally will not get worse and worse. It just happens and then either improves on its own, or we fill it in. Once it is filled in, collagen stimulation happens and we usually do not have to fill it in a second time.

    I have a follow up question, what do you use to fill the dent when you say you “fill it”? I have a similar dent that is not improving after 3 months. Thank you!
