What can be done to correct a dent on the butt that was left after steroid injection? (photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! A divet can be filled with a fat transfer or filler. I recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like myself and we can create a surgical plan to best achieve your goals!

Dear bina25,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, this can be improved with fat transfer. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photo. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made.

A dent in the buttock after a steroid injection is usually the result of the steroid being injected into the subcutaneous fat layer instead of deeper into the intended muscle layer. In this case, the steroid medication additionally melts away good fat, and produces a dent. The best way to fix a small dent is with fat transfer. Glad to be of help.
