Dent from Depo Provera shot...

At the end of June I had received an injection on one butt cheek for depo provera... In the second week of august I noticed a dent clearly visible to the naked eyes... I feel very insecure about this! Will this type of dent heal with time or should I look into some type of filler? I don't know what to do...

Hello,
What you seem to be having is due to atrophy of the skin or muscle due to the injection. It should gradually improve on its own in a few weeks but sometimes it may take even an year to fill. If the dents remain then collagen filling from a cosmetologist may be needed.

I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing.
