Brazilian Butt lift is unlikely to provide relief

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Brazilian Butt Lift for leg and back pain?

I need a Brazilian Butt Lift because my butt has no shape. My butt and legs meet as one, causing back and leg pain. Can insurance pay for this, as I was told it's a medical condition? Will this procedure really help minimize the pain I have?

The Brazilian Buttock lift is essentially a cosmetic procedure and as such it is not considered a functional procedure in any sense unlike breast reductions.

In general, it has not been used to ease back or leg pain and I would discourage you from using it to achieve this goal. Therefore, I don't believe any insurance company would consider this a covered benefit.
