Dimples on the butt are caused by tight strings under the skin pulling it down. A special shot breaks those strings, making the skin smoother.
No biological mechanisms were identified in this study. This may be an epidemiological, observational, or survey-based study that reports associations rather than proposing causal biological pathways.

Younger, leaner women tend to see better results from the injection than older or heavier women — but even older or heavier women still benefit more than those who don’t get the treatment.
A special enzyme injection given three times over six weeks can noticeably smooth out deep dimples on the buttocks in women with severe cellulite, and it works much better than a fake shot.
The treatment causes bruising and soreness at the injection site, but these side effects are usually mild and go away within a couple of weeks.
The treatment works just as well for women with light skin as it does for women with dark skin — skin color doesn’t make a difference in how well it works.
Cellulite is caused by fibrous septae tethering the dermis to underlying fascia, creating dimpling as subcutaneous fat herniates through these structures; enzymatic disruption of these septae can reduce the appearance of cellulite.
