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?

There is no way that the Brazilian Butt Lift can improve your pain in any way.

There is no way that the Brazilian Butt Lift can improve your pain in any way. This procedure is done for contouring and shaping only. You need to see an orthopaedic surgeon to find out why you have these pains. Without seeing you, there is no way of knowing if you are a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift. The measurements suggest you may be, but this is assuming that your waist measurement is due to excess fat beneath your skin and not due to intra-abdominal fat. You need to be... more

Brazilian Butt Enhancement not covered by insurance

This is a COSMETIC PROCEDURE. Not covered by insurance. There is no  medical condition as small, flat buttock that is recognized by the insurance company for coverage. All cost is paid by you.

Not an indication...

nor an insurance covered procedure. Brazilian buttock lift will in no way affect the pain in your back or legs, unless there is some psychologic component to the pain and improving your body contour improves that. Either way, no insurance company will provide coverage for the procedure. Good luck!

Brazilian Butt lift is unlikely to provide relief

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.

Brazilian Butt Lift for Pain

Thanks for your question - It is unlikely that a brazilian butt lift in the true sense of the definition will help your pain. There is a large chance that you will have the same pain post-operatively that you had before. Brazilian butt lifts are designed to improve your contour. Most of the fat that is transferred is at the mid and upper portion of your buttocks and would be unlikely to correct the problem you're describing. In my San Francisco area practice we have used fat transfer to... more

Brazilian Butt Lift won't help with back or leg pain

A Brazilian butt lift is a safe and effective procedure that combines liposuction of the abdomen hips waist and back and then fat grafting to the gluteal region. This is a safe and effective way to contour the lower body. An important component of the Brazilian Butt lift is the thorough liposuction to the abdomen, hips, waist, flanks, lower back, and thighs. This will create a tight and beautiful appearance that will be complemented with the full round bottom that is created via fat... more

Will my insurance pay for Brazilian Butt Lift if I have leg pain?

Hi there- A Brazilian Butt Lift is performed in women who wish to improve the shape of their body and the contour of their buttocks. We do not do this operation to improve pain, because there is no reason to believe it would be effective as a means of doing so. In other words, it is a strictly cosmetic operation- it would be inconceivable that your insurance would cover the costs associated with improving the appearance of your bottom.
