A 46-year-old woman received a cortisone shot in her hip to treat bursitis about four months ago. However, an indentation has appeared on her buttocks that has been getting larger over time and causing significant discomfort. This was her first time receiving a cortisone shot. What could be causing this, and what could she do to address it?
Painful fat atrophy is a significant skin condition that may not be related to the cortisone shot. I recommend seeking a dermatologist consultation and a possible biopsy before attempting any temporary solutions. Sincerely.
Hello, Based on your description, it seems that there has been fat atrophy at the injection site. There are various fillers available with their own advantages and disadvantages, but I would recommend using fat grafting. This involves taking fat from surrounding areas and injecting it into the indentation to restore volume. Best regards
The best options for filling a dimple include using a filler such as fat or other available fillers, though fat would be my preference. Multiple treatments may be required as the process develops.
