Dimples on buttocks. What are they and how can I fix them? (Photo)

Question

I have these horrible dents on the upper part of my butt and they make me feel really insecure. They are even visible through cloths. What are they and how can I fix them?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It appears to me, based on this photo, that more extensive surgery which would include liposuction of  waist and shaping-augmentation of buttocks, may be more appropriate than trying to fix the dents. Fat grafting may improve dents to a certain degree but will not eliminate them entirely. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

Dear Considerate470238,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from fat transfer to buttocks. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

You also have un shaped buttock along with denting/dimpling. I recommend multiple sessions. 1st is surgery of lipo 360/BBL to correct shape and denting. After 3-6 months injections of QWO to improve dimples/cellulite, in 3 sessions under local anesthesia.

Dear Considerate,
The dents are usually a combination of scar bands attached to the skin and lack of fat.  The usual treatment is release of the bands and placement of your own fat in the dents. 
Liposuction of your waist with fat transfer to your buttocks (on a larger scale) would give you a narrow waistline and a rounder buttocks (if desired)

Cellulite is caused by connective tissue bands that tether the skin.

The best treatment is to release the connective tissue bands by a procedure called Subsicion.

This can be done with a device called Celfina.

It is not a volume problem and simply adding volume with fillers or fat transfer does not correct the problem and can potentially make it worse.

There is no great simple treatment for this so expect partial improvements.

Subsicion may be more commonly done by dermatologist than surgeons.

You’ll have to ask around and plan on doing a few consultations.

Best,
