What should I do about muscle indent in left upper buttock? Muscle atrophy.

Question

I've had this at least a year. And after reading, I'm sure it's because of shots given. When I was working at a daycare, I got sick monthly and would get injections often in my buttock, where the indent is currently. Having severe asthma and allergies, my doctor recomended rotating a z pack and steroid shot when I got sick. Still have asthma and allergies, don't get sick like that now. No current articles on this topic. Does saline shots work? What should I do?

Thank you for your question.  Photos would be helpful to answer your question more accurately.  It sounds as if fat injections may be the better option for you. Best of luck,

I agree that the indentation is likely associated with your shots.  I have been very pleased with Sculptra as a way to fill out buttock indentations.  I find that the procedure requires little to no downtime and is office based.  I have done minor dimples to full buttock augmentations, albeit the latter is for people who want a modest augmentation and with little fat to donate.  At times, if the indentation is associated with a scar, then subcision or a scar release may also be warranted.

Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.

This actually sound more like a fibrosis do to trauma than an atrophy. Please send some pictures and one with your leg flexed so we can evaluate more your case and suggest you a treatment.Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and discuss what will be the proper treatment to achieve the result you desires.Regards,Dr. Luis Redondo
