I got a fat transfer to buttocks 3 years ago. 3 issues that really bother me: 1. one cheek looks great and normal another has a weird lump noticeable through clothing, and look very obvious and deformed to me. 2.I have weird dent right on top of my belly button that never goes away 3. A dented line that goes from my lower left side to my back. How can I fix this?? I’ve researched cool sculpting, lipo cavitation, body sculpting, but now I’m just afraid they’ll leave me worse.
