Hi. I slipped and fell 3.5 weeks ago on wet wooden stairs, and my left buttcheek hit the edge of a step, and I have a bruise and an indentation in my cheek now. Is this permanent. The bruise is fading. the dent with swelling above the dent is not going away.
The post traumatic bruise and indentation may persistent or may slowly resolve depends upon depth of injury.if it is superficial injury it will heal without any marks.but if the injury is deeper then it may leave a permanent mark.now more than 3 weeks has passed it is slowly recovery this suggest that with time this mark will go away .
