I had moles removed from my face, one scar was raised, so the plastic surgeon gave me a shot of kenalog in my face. I have a crater on my face under my eye from collagen atrophy that was the result of the side effects of kenalog. After consulting with two other plastic surgeons, I was told that collagen atrophy was indeed a side effect of kenalog injections. Treatment includes injections of Restylane( a facial filler) or injections of fat removed from other areas of the body. I am trying the body fat injections. If this does not work, a lawsuit is in the game plan for this freak show DR.

Hi a little over a year ago i received a kenalog injection for allergies and have been having a lot of the same side effects you all have been having. I have a very large indentation on my butt. I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon to see about have the indentation fixed just out of worry that it will keep getting bigger because it has over the last 12 months. I have also had problems with my period. I have went from having extreme bleeding to 2 periods a month to now bleeding for 3 weeks at a time. I have also lost a ton of weight and am down to 115 pounds even though I eat all day long. A drug of this kind should not be on the market!!!! ON THE PACKAGE INSERT FOR THIS DRUG NONE OF THESE SIDE EFFECTS ARE LISTED. Somebody should be held liable. If any of you have any information on a class action lawsuit please let me know. Surgery to fix this is very expense not to mention just looking at it in the mirror and knowing that it could have been prevented if someone would have informed me that it could have possible happened.
