Sacrum part of my back juts out more than it should causing back pain, would a butt augmentation help? (Photo)

Question

The sacrum region of my back is enlarged/jutting out way more than it should causing pain when laying down, standing, sitting exercising.. basically every day life is affected because of this. Does not help that my butt is extremely small, even after years of working out lifting weights. The pain is excruciating on my sacrum/tailbone. Would a butt augmentation help with this pain?

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

It sounds as though you have pain in all positions not just while laying down on a otherwise retroflexed and prominent sacrum and coccyx bone. In cases where patients have had pain while just laying down on a prominent sacrococcygeal bone, I’ve been able to utilize buttock implants and/or shaving down of the coccyx bone with significant relief of pain and good overall success. Although a virtual consultation is an option, I believe an in person physical exam would be much more helpful in your case to decide whether this type of surgery could be of any benefit for you. Glad to be of help.

Dear pblaschka,
fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure which will not affect your sacral pain. I suggest you to visit your doctor and get an examination in order to find the right cause of your pain.

I have successfully corrected this type of issue with buttock implants. You will need an in person consultation to determine exactly what needs to be done. Please be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known in the medical community.

it is unlikely a BBL would help your lower back symptoms. it’s probably just as likely to make things worse as they are to make things better.Only consider a BBL for aesthetic reasons.If you haven’t done so I suggest a thorough paint work up including MRI and consultation with a pain specialist.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD

Although nothing has been published regarding your concern, augmenting your buttock with fat transfer can definitely take pressure off of your sacral prominence. Please consider a virtual consultation with a buttock specialist to get me accurate recommendation.
