Is there a procedure to fill in a dent made in the buttock?

Question

Several years ago, I slipped down some tile stairs and the fall created a dent/divet on my left buttock. Is it possible to get some sort of filler for that area only?

Marshall T. Partington, MD, FACS · Answer

The most reliable approach to correcting a soft tissue indentation in the muscle is to release the scar tissue under the skin through a tiny incision and then immediately fill in the dent with a fat transfer.  Fat grafting without the initial scar release may result in the plumping the areas above and below the dent, making it look deeper!

Liposuction and fat transfer to the area is a great way to improve the contour of a dent in a buttocks after trauma. Meet with an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon (by the American Board of Plastic Surgery)  for an in person consultation in order to discuss whether or not you are a candidate for the procedure and your goals and options. I hope this helps and best wishes.

Fat grafting to your buttock (Brazilian Butt Lift) will almost certainly be your best option. Given you have enough fat to harvest, fat can allow your surgeon to selectively fill regions that require additional volume. If the dent is particularly large, sometimes touch-up procedures are needed to achieve optimal correction.Hope this help! Sam Jejurikar, MD

Thanks for sharing your question about enhancing your buttock shape.Fat grafting to the buttock can be performed to enhance the shape and figure of the buttock.  If there is a small area of concern some fat grafting should be able to offer a nice improvement.  In addition, it is possible to fat graft on a larger scale with larger volume of liposuction and fat transfer commonly referred to as a "brazilian butt lift".  Visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options.Best Wishes

Transferring fat (from one area of your body) into the buttock dent is likely the best, most natural, and safe option.  Depending upon the size of the dent, fat transfer may need to be done more than once to achieve the desired result.  Glad to help.

Although it is hard to make a comment without seeing the photographs, these issues can be easily corrected by fat graft or fat redistribution in one or sometime in multiple sessions.

Carlos Burnett, MD, FACS · Answer

The dent in your buttocks from trauma may be related to a contusion, hematoma or fat necrosis resulting I tissue loss. Fat grafting to the area will help to minimize or completely correct your dent. Good luck
