Wanting To Fix Dent In Right Butt Cheek from a Steroid Shot That I Got when I Was Younger. How?

Question

I have a dent in my right butt cheek and when I wear pants It's noticeable.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

fat grafts are an excellent method for improving "dents" and irregular areas from :

	trauma

	previous liposuction

	injection injuries

	most sites will retain at least 60 % permenantly

The most effective and safe way to fill in this problem from a steroid injection is to use fat transfer of your own fat taken from one area of your body and then transferred into the buttock dent. Best of luck...RAS

The best option is to have fat suctioned from an area of your body and transferred into that dent in your buttock.

	This is a safe and reliable procedure commonly performed under a local anesthetic.

	Good luck

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well. 
You are probably a good candidate for fat transfer, to improve your buttocks. 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.
Good luck :)

The only reliable safe, long-lasting filler used in the buttocks is your own fat. The amount of fat needed would depend on the depth of the defect and if you wanted more than the indentation to be augmented.
