When I was visiting him for something unrelated, my doctor pointed out the bags under my eyes and said he could eliminate them with a Kenalog injection. He did not mention any possible side effects. Worst case, he said, would be that the injection would have no effect. That's the last time I consent to a treatment on trust without first researching it thoroughly myself. The injection did nothing for the bags, but did cause atrophy of my right cheek at the injection site, resulting in a severe indentation in the middle of my cheek which continued to get worse as the weeks went by. Attempts to fill out the sink-hole have resulted in a lopsided appearance to my face, which is quite demoralizing.

My plastic surgeon injected two areas under my chin to dissolve scar tissue. However, it dissolved a lot of healthy tissue. Now I have a big dent on one side and a "burned-dented" look on the other. I was not advised of these possible side effects and am horrified to look in the mirror. Someone please tell me these "dents" will go away.
