I slipped and fell while walking down flight of stairs and landed very hard and it was very painful. I was bruised very badly on my left buttock. And after some months, the scar went away but I now have a dent on my left cheek and it has been well over a year and it hasn’t gone away. I really want my normal shaped butt back. It looks so awkward and makes me feel embarrassed.

Answer: Indentation on Buttock Hello. It seems like you may have had local swelling/small hematoma after the incident that eventually led to fat necrosis (loss of fat cells) and scar tissue formation in that area. This results in an indented appearance that can be exaggerated with flexing/activation of your muscles. The best thing to do initially is massaging/cupping/myofascial scar treatment to help soften the area. This often helps that scar tissue from tethering. Once the tissue has softened up (typically over the course of a year) then you can consider options to “fill” in the area- typically with scar release (through SAFE Lipo Techniques) and small volume fat transfer. Hope this helpsDr. Dev

Answer: Buttocks Contouring Hello and thank you for the question! Fat necrosis (fat cells that are damaged and replaced with scar tissue) is possible with focal trauma such as described. This can be hard to correct to "where nothing ever happened". However, there are different therapies, invasive and noninvasive that can break up/ soft scar tissue. Another option is to attempt fat grafting to this area to restore volume with your body's natural fat cells taken from somewhere else through liposuction. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be the next best step in your journey!
