I have a big indent in the middle of my right butt cheek that I would like to be rectified. Options? (photos)

Question

I noticed the indent in 2015 on my right butt cheek and it seems to grow deeper as i gain weight. I do not remember ever falling or hurting my butt in any way since i was kid. However, when younger(i'm 26years old now), i would get lots of injections on my butt, but those were done on the upper part of the butt and i can see the scars. Kindly help, since i do not feel confident putting on fitting clothes ever since i noticed the indent. Regards, K.M.

Thank you for your question.Fat grafting would be a great option to help fill this area in and make it symmetric to the other side.  I would recommend an in person consultation for a definite answer. If there is scar tissue there, it may require some release of that along with the fat injections.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Unfortunately photos are never as clear as an in person physical exam. Nonetheless is likely one of two things. Either it is a tight connective tissue band that would have to be released (i.e. cut) to allow the skin to pop open and possibly add a bit of fat grafting as well. Or it is indeed fat atrophy from one of your buttock injections as a child. In this case as well, scar tissue release plus fat grafting would be your best option. Glad to be of help.

Dear Lilly.KM,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but based on your photos, it looks like this could be improved with a combination of subcision and fat grafting. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Based on your pictures, you are a good candidate for liposuction with fat transfer, to improve your buttocks and fill the dents, and I think you'll get very good results. 
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 buttock implant may help but you also have the option of a fat transfer to correct the dent. Its best to get an in person consultation with a specialist. Please be sure to choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.
