Can a ripped buttock muscle be repaired? (Photo)

10 years ago I fell on a metal bleacher corner. Injuring my right buttock. It became infected. Now it has a dent. I have also noticed it has affected my walking, I have lower back pain if I sit for too long. The right buttock is longer/lower giving me a hip dent. I have tried to have fat tranfer to both areas twice to no success. its concerning. Not only aesthetically but physically. I worry about the outcome if I don’t do anything about it. I’d truly appreciate some advice. Please and Thank you.
