Will The Gap After Cyst Removal In My Buttock Fill In?

I had a cyst in my left butt cheek the size of maybe an tennis ball or bigger. I had surgery two years ago in which the cyst was removed but also a huge chuck of my butt muscle in which has left a pretty big size dent.. The doctor that performed the surgery told me it would fill in in time it has already been two years and I really feel like it s not going to fill in at least not to the normal size it once was so my question is.. Is it realistic to think it will never fill back in or will it fill in and how long would it take

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you. As mentioned by you about the cyst and the surgery you have undergone. The surgery was performed to help ease of the cyst. Now since the space you are feeling empty there is not filled than you need to perfrom some exercises to strengthen the muscles and eliminate the space. Usually due to the cyst the muscle is overstretched and than after removal there is empty space which can be filled by exercises. Also , to not allow that space to be occupied by anything else in future you need to have a good tone of the muscles. I am sure you will be helped and your complains will be eliminated by toning of muscles.
