I have a dent on my left buttocks from falling down concrete steps about 8 months ago. What can I do to fix it? (Photo)

Question

I did an ultrasound to see if I had a hematoma but nothing was found. A general surgeon said it was fat necrosis or scar tissue. I've done several Vela Shape treatments with no improvements. I workout 4-5 days a week and try to focus on my glutes. I was informed subcision can be beneficial. What is the best treatment option?

It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal butt image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your buttock will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. Liposuction of your lower back and fat transfer is also helpful as an adjunct to implants. Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Dear cmgarcia,it is hard to tell without an examination. I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Subcision might be an option, but fat transfer might also be required. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello dear!
Thanks for the pictures and provided information as well.
Based on your photos, you are a good candidate for a small amount of liposuction and fat transfer, to fix your problem and improve your buttocks, and I think you'll get very good results.
l recommend you to make an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a proper answer and to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
