Can filler or PRP help fill fat atrophy from steroid injection?
Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: I had a pain management doctor inject me above my eyebrows with steroids. I thought he was doing a normal lidocaine injection as that is what all other doctors have done. i would never have had steroid injected in my face as i know it causes atrophy. i had a head ache/ surgery done where they were able to replace some fat when they cut around the muscle when they did the nerve entrapment. Unfortunately, i still have atrophy on above above my eyebrows. can filler or prp help this?
Dr. Persky’s Reply: Yes, I would use Sculptra in this area. The forehead is an area where only expert injectors should treat as there can be significant adverse events related to injection in this area. Call our office for an in person or virtual consultation. Good luck and be well.
