I Have a Large Indentation on the Mid Buttocks, What Would Be the Best Corrective Option?

Question

My parents said it was caused by an antibiotic injection that was infected. I have a large indentation on the mid buttock , it worsen when i bend over or lift my leg. I am considering brazilian butt lift. I almost seems like something is pulling from under my skin. What would be my best option?

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.

Thank you for your question.  I have seen and treated what you describe on several occasions.  In this situation, I have had good results with conservative release of the scar from underneath the skin followed by localized fat grafting to the affected area.  The results usually aren' t perfect but a significant improvement is possible from where you started from. 2-3 sessions is usually required. I hope this helps.

Ricardo A. Meade, MD · Answer

I've treated several leg scars using multiple techniques to accompany fat grafting.  One interesting pilot study I completed was fat grafting with Selphyl, a fibrin matrix of platelet rich plasma rich protein drawn from the patient's IV.  It really didn't seem to make much of a difference.

	 

	Your case will benefit most from scar release and fat grafting. It may take more than one session.  I've had nice results from staged fat transfer where we return to inject more fat in which case fat banking (Biolife) would be an interesting but not necessary option to look into to avoid additional procedures.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You can probably benefit from a fat transfer, to improve your buttocks.
In general, you need to be physically healthy and at a stable weight, have realistic expectations, be a non-smoker and your BMI needs to be 30 or less.
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 :)

A BBL with scar release is a good start. Seek a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of these procedures, has great reviews and photos, and is an expert in this field.
