Does a BBL aggravate sciatic nerve pain?

Question

I suffer from occasional sciatic nerve pain. I'm concerned that this may affect me if I get a BBL and am wondering if I should take any extra labs or exams prior to undergoing the surgery. I usually get the pain intermittently or after extensive physical activity.

The swelling may temporarily aggravate this condition, but this is really more about the source of the sciatic pain, particularly if this is result of herniated disc or something remote from the location of BBL.

Ross Blagg, MD · Answer

Hi,Generally, sciatic pain is from a deeper problem and getting fat grafting is unlikely to worsen it. However, in the first few weeks after surgery, the gluteal area will be swollen, which may exacerbate the pain until the swelling subsides. All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
