I fell on the edge of a pool 6 years ago and was left with this lump. It feels soft like the rest of my butt. Help!! (Photo)

Liposcution will not help your concern area as your concern is related to redundant skin and not excess fat. Please consider a consutlation with a high definition body contouring procedure.

There are a few red flags from what you’ve described.

Localized trauma if it causes a contour change is more likely to have caused fat necrosis rather than fullness.

Fullness could be due to an old blood collection called the hematoma that could have calcified and befall of scar tissue. To get a clear understanding of what that lump is requires doing some type of radiologic evaluation. The easiest would be getting an ultrasound.

If you have medical insurance then I don’t see why it wouldn’t cover getting that evaluated.

The area itself is also tricky to do body contouring.

Your problem area is in an area sometimes referred to as the banana roll.

In this area the skin tends to bulge and bunch up in an upright standing position.

To allow for hip flexion the skin is compressed in a standing position and under pressure or tight with the hips fully flexed. it may be useful to see what the contour looks like when you flex your hips or bend over.

Liposuction of this area because of the skin bulge does not always create the contour effects patients and surgeons had hoped for.

Liposuction may or may not be appropriate and it may or may not deliver the results you want but it is not an easy situation or area to do a straightforward assessment or get consistent Liposuction results.
