About two months ago, i noticed an indentation forming on my right glute. I am very active in running and figured that it was possible to have pulled or injured the muscle somehow. I began to massage the area thinking I could repair this "knotted muscle", but to no avail. Instead it became worse and more indented. About a week ago, I went to a regular family practice doctor to check it out after two other doctors we're stumped. She immediately recognized it and called it 'lipodysmorphia', a complication caused by the Kenalog shot. The steroid breaks down the muscle and the body then absorbs it. Everything suddenly clicked! About 5 months ago, I had a steroid injected in that very area to treat a bout of Sinusitis. When asked if the muscle would ever come back, she said that my best bet would be to see a cosmetic surgeon and request filler of some sort. What?! I work out almost everyday to get the perfect glutes and now I have to get filler!! I'm very self- concious now because of the look of it. It looks like a handful of muscle has been removed from my butt. I no longer can wear tights or fitted jeans because to me it looks so obvious. I will do my best to build it back up with weights, but i'm not too hopeful at this point. I just wish that I was aware that this could've possibly happened. I would have never sacrificed my womanly and curver posterior. Jamie, 28, Henderson, NV

Hi, I had this same indention everyone is talking about here. I was stumped as to what it was, until I found this site. I thought I was the only one, I didn't go to a doctor about it because at the time I didn't have health insurance, and besides it didn't hurt or have any discoloration, it just looked like a tennis ball size chunk had been removed from my upper buttock. It was a little frightening but after about 8-10 months, it filled back in on its own. Now its not even visible or noticeable at all. So don't worry about it being permanent (or having to have surgery to "fill" it in.) Just give it time and yours will probably fill back in as well. Sarahippiechick
