Will medicaid pay for a Brazilian butt lift?

cbrodisNov 11, 2015

When I was a child I crushed my coccyx since then it has been very painful for me to sit down. However in May of 2014 I had gastric bypass surgery and I've lost over 130 pounds now I have excruciating pain when sitting in the tub because it seems like that bone is exposed. In order for me to take a bath in the tub I have to be on my knees or lay, but even laying is extremely painful. When I'm in bed I can only lay on my side or my stomach because laying on my back is painful on my coccyx.

There's no exact weight you need to have this procedure. You just can't be too skinny (you might not have enough fat to work with) or being overweight (you might end up with laxity on the abdominal area). In your specific case, your weight is ok for your height. I hope this answer was helpful.
