I had some cortisone injections to treat cystic acne on my chin in March. We™re now in June (4 months later) and the indented scars are still there. How long did it take for your scars to fill in following your cortisone injections?

You'll need a filler for that.

Thank you. Would you recommend asubcision beforehand or just the filler? Also which filler would you suggest?

If this is the only scar you'll be treating, there's no reason for a separate subcision. Simply ask the injector to move the needle in and out under the scar in a fan-like motion before injecting. They do this anyway so it wouldn't be an issue.
