What Causes Indentation In Buttocks?

I have an indentation on my upper right buttock. It feels as if the muscle and fat has been removed from that area and that it is a hole in the tissue. I have not had any recent surgeries or injections. My last and only surgery was an ACL reconstruction on my left leg 3 years ago. I m only 20 and it appears as a dimple. It popped up over night and I have no idea what could have caused it.
