Asked By:Lorena D in Los Angeles, CA

I fell on my stairs 3 days ago on my left buttock immediately I felt a dent on my buttock where I hit the edge of the stairs. I ended up with a large bruise and above the dent is hard and swollen about the size of a grapefruit. After looking on line I found people with similar falls with dents and lumps that said they never went away and were left with noticeable deformities that needed cosmetic surgery or drainage. Very worried will it heal and look normal or cosmetic surgery is needed ?
