Will exercise correct the dent in my butt? 3 weeks post-op.

Question

Hi so it's been 3 weeks since I got a Brazilian butt lift and today I went to my plastic surgeon to ask her some questions . I accidentally put a lot of pressure on my butt a couple days ago and Iv notice I have a flat area in the middle of my butt cheek When i asked my PS about it she just said is would look better with time but I forgot to ask her if I do butt exercises will it fix it? And will both my butt cheeks look the same? since I have less fat in one then I do the other now

Thank you for your question. Without photos, it is difficult to make specific comments. You are early in your recovery, and as swelling resolves, shape and size will change. If you already have a dent, that might get better if the swelling around it decreases. You might end up with a dent and would need further grafting. Exercise will not fill out a dent, since this is in your buttock fat and not muscle. Follow up closely with your surgeon. Good luck with healing.

It is highly unlikely he we will be able to change the results of your Brazilian by exercising.
In fact it's hard for someone to get any substantial change in the appearance of there but it's from exercise unless it's very intensive.
It's not unusual for some people to have a flat spot on there but ask to start with or after a Brazilian.
The buttocks is a structural area that has to have enough connective tissue between the muscle in the skin to tolerate each person's entire weight.
This connective tissue minimizes the mobility of the skin.
Just like the palm of the hand as tight skinny compared to the back of the hand.
These bands of connective tissue are usually fairly rigid and sometimes to not allow for expansion of the buttocks using fat transfer.
At three weeks most Brazilians are fairly stable and pressure should not have a significant long-term impact.
Excessive amounts of pressure during the first week and a half can I have a much more significant negative impact.
Don't be gun shy about emailing your doctor directly.
I'm sure you paid her a substantial amount of money and you deserve to have all your questions answered.
Best,
Mats Hagstrom M.D.
