Butt depressions, will exercise cure this or do you need plastic surgery to correct it?

I have been doing body pump the last 120 days and with all the squats I was hoping it was going to correct the problem. It is definitely less visible, but still there. I have a dent or depression right in the panty line area on my left butt cheek. Is it a muscular issue or a fat distribution issue? I ordered Brailian butt lift and still have hope to correct it with exercise, plastic surgery is last resort. I don't want a quick fix, I just want it gone.

Is it from your panties? I would ask your doctor. Impossible for people on the internet to even take a guess at what it could be. Even with pictures. It may just be a "unique" feature....and you can either learn to love it and accept it...or spend tons of money fixing something only you and your significant other will ever see. *shrug*

I haven't the slightest clue what butt depressions are, OP.1
-
Is it muscle/definition? I have them when I flex my glutes.0

Are you talking about cellulite? You can't get rid of it. All you can do is work on building muscle and losing fat to minimize it.0
-
It a definitely dent or depression on the on side right where the panty line sits, not cellulite. I don't know how much more I should lose, currently 126 and 5'4.75"0

Looks like it's an issue with fat distribution... reduce body fat, it should go away.1

I honestly have no idea what I'm looking at or what I'm supposed to be looking for.0

Lift heavy and often -- as you build muscle it will help eliminate the fat issue and create new definition for you -- it's definitely not a weight issue if your figures are correct.0

Lift weights and you'll be fine. :-) look up before and after pictures of people that started heavy lifting, you'll see big changes in those bodies!1

It's a fat distribution thing. You said you're 5'4" and 126? Have you been lifting? You can even that out if you lift heavy, probably. When I was 163 my bum looked more like that, not anymore after squats and dead lifts.1

Thanks for the input, how many pounds to see a noticeable difference? I was losing weight and it was a struggle once I got to 126, I did weight watchers and felt starved each night, I went to sleep and ignored it. I tried shakeology the fullness I got from that was short lived, I went down to 124.5 and the went right back up to 126Looks like it's an issue with fat distribution... reduce body fat, it should go away.

What is heavy ? Currently doing body pump which is not heavy. I have been hearing that dead lifts with body pump is a waste of time because it's not heavy enough to do anything, is that true? I was lifting 32 lbs. (15 each side) I was thinking of adding 5 lbs. to each side, because I feel stronger. Please let me know your recommendation. Thank you.0

heavy isnt' a weight- i'ts a rep range
- 0 is to heavy
- 1-5 is heavy
- 5-10 is heavy- typically with diet focuses on hypertrophy
- 10-15 focuses more on muscle endurance
- 15+ you've moved into full on muscle endurance and an aerobics class.0 -
Impossible to say as it will be largely determined by where your body is more apt to lose fat... but I'd *guess* a minimum of 10lbs.

But go back and re-read my post. I didn't say to lose weight... I said to lose fat. Think about body composition, not just scale weight.

It's body fat. You look to be about 27% plus or minus. Try lowering your body fat percentage more.
Also, Bodypump is more of an muscular endurance training. You'd be much better off doing some traditional training and doing 3-5 sets of compound lifts in the 6-10 rep range with as much weight as you can handle with good form.

Not to be completely nosy- Do you have some sort of spinal or muscular condition? You look very unbalanced honestly.0

Scales don't read BF accurately. The amount of water in your cells can change the reading dramatically.
My scale reads 22.3% I guess that's way off. I don't feel my bf 27%, my problem area is only my butt and thighs. Curse those German genes!

I suggest you stop thinking and get your focus back on the basics. Good calorie intake, good exercise, good intensity, lots of patience.0

Getting a functionality and mobility check out from a physical therapist is not commonly a bad idea.0 -
doubtful- just more mindful of your training to make sure you're building up both sides equally.
I second Jackson's thought- don't over think it- get your diet right- get the training locked in. You look fine- we're looking hard at you because you asked us too essentially- but no one would bat an eye if you were walking down the street- you look fine- no one is perfectly symmetrical (for the record- my spine does the same thing- and My left trap is bigger than my right trap- I know why- and I'm working on evening it back out)0 -
I favor my right side which is funny since I'm left handed and all of my injuries are on my right side.
It's something to be aware of when you lift. I notice that my strength isn't balanced between the sides so I focus on making sure that I'm pulling/pushing evenly.

Same, and the best part was leaving the meeting with a laundry list of things to do to correct what was found.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not...
Leaving with that list is great but sucks at the same time. Since it's like "oh, I'm broken, this list will help fix me, it's a little daunting, but I'll be fixed so it'll be great"
OP, I do suggest to look into a PT and fixing the unbalanced thing if it bothers you.

There are many broken things which cannot be fixed. Having a broken thing which can be fixed is good, no?0

I know this is an old post, but I'm curious if you noticed any change. I'm saddened by some of the feedback you got. "You look unbalanced" is just rude and not helpful with the issue you're asking about.

Hi! I realize this post is super old, I found it doing a search on Google. I was wondering if you were able to fix the problem with exercises? Thanks
