I fell down the stairs 6 months ago pretty hard, landing on my right butt cheek. At first I had an huge bruise with swelling and lots of pain. When the bruise went away I noticed I had a dent which appeared to be the same shape as the corner of the stair(s) I landed on. I’ve been hopeful all this time that this dent would go away but it’s still there and I’m extremely self conscious about it. I currently don’t have any pain at all, no swelling or any other symptoms other than that unsightly dent. Will it ever go back to normal or what can I do to fix this? Plz help

Dear jwjethompson,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

Thank you for your query. Some non-surgical skin tightening with Thermitight or JPlasma along with fillers or fat can help improve the loose skin and folds. Please discuss your options with an experienced board certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns....
