How can you fix a dent on the butt if you have scar tissue? (Photos)

Question

I did lipo 360 in August 2018 and was told by the PS that he could not fill the dent with fat transfer due to scar tissue. Is there any way to fix this? Help unhappy with my this dent I've had my whole life.

Dear Lady O,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination, but a revision should help you. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD

Contour irregularities (dents) on the buttock and thigh is problematic for many people. While complete correction can be difficult, improvements can be made by releasing some of the scar tissue with liposuction cannulas or with needles and then injecting fat or dermal fillers to support the area. Repeat treatment can be done if desired for additional correction.

Dear, is possible to release the scar tissue that form the dent with a special liposuction canola and at the same procedure fill it with fat and achieve an even surface over the buttocks. All the best for you!

Hi Lady O,This is a concern that can met with both high definition liposuction revision and body contouring. The definitive correction for liposuction deformities requires the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I encounter suboptimal liposuction outcome referrals weekly. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently corrected liposuction caused deformities. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of severity of contour irregularities by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly, which can potentially fill your indent. Finally, when skin redundancy irregularities are observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or Facetime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

The dent may not be totally corrected but should be able to be significantly improved. this involves subcision of the scar and fat transfer and will probably take 2-4 treatments for maximum results.
