Is There Any Way to Remove Dimples? Born with Deep Dimples on my Buttocks.

Question

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The dimples on the buttocks have to be released from underlying tissue and then filled with fat.  This can be a tricky surgery, but I perform hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts a year.  Some people want them filled, and others prefer for them to be left alone.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Is there any way to remove dimples from the buttocks?

	These dimples are a form of cellulite and this is caused by tethering of connective tissue from the muscle fascia to the skin.  In turn it causes distortion of the fat and skin.

	The dimples are very hard to correct since the connective tissue needs to be cut to release it and this can cause some trauma to the blood vessels and nerves. Once released, the area can be smoothed out with fat grafting as needed.

Gluteal dimples can be released and filled with fat injections. This can be a very effective procedure using your own natural tissue.
