The dents on the side of the buttocks is a very natural and athletic appearance. You are very young and your body will change with time and these will likely fill in a bit with weight gain over time.  If when you are older (over 18) you still have some concerns see a board-certified plastic surgeon for a consultation as sometimes fat can be moved from the love handle areas and moved to those areas for a rounder look. I hope this helps and best wishes.

Thank you for your question.  First, you are a minor so you would need parental consent before undergoing any surgical procedure.  The dents could be there for a variety of reasons, such as the result of injections or simply your anatomy.  It could be, too, that it is cellulite.  If you parents agree to go with you, you can be seen by a plastic surgeon.Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

You are very young and your body is just beginning to change, take a deep breath and don't worry. All young men and women are experiencing changes and questions like this. I have no pictures to confirm what you are talking about, but I assume it the lateral gluteal recess. Its an area on the outside of each cheek that can be hollow. It can be related to being thin. Don't make this a big deal, as you progress through puberty, fat distribution changes, and what you look like at 15, may be quite different than what you look like at 18.Eric Weiss MD
