I was left with a 4inch lump on the upper side of my bum, which has never gone down . 1 perso suggested they might be able to remove it / remodel my bum, but my conultation woudln't be for another 9 months before they can tell me whether or not they can do something about it.

HelloThank you for the question. You need to have an imaging (either MRI or US) to check for the consistency, depth and type of lump. Treatment can then be adjusted accordingly.

It seems that your "deformity" may be corrected with injection of fat grafts. Only on the basis of in person exam, an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon, may give you a more detailed answer. It is possible that UK still has a ban on liposuction/fat transfer and, in that case, you may need to look somewhere else. Good luck.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. This irregularity can be fixed with liposuction or fat grafting depending on your desired goals.

Dear Philosophical100149,
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.

You appear to have lost a small area of fat, and a fat transfer could fill this area back in nicely. this could be done under local anesthesia as well.
