Would I be a good candidate for a BBL if I have a missing disc in my spine (Pars Defect)?

Question

So I was diagnosed with Pars Defect years ago & I just wanted to know if I would still be a good candidate for a Brazilian Butt Lift ? It doesn’t bother me & honestly forgot about it until my mother reminded me.

Hello @TWills04, thank you for your question. In order to qualify for BBL, you'll have to be evaluated by the specialist treating the spinal condition. Generally if the condition is treated a BBL is possible You also need to talk about this with the plastic surgeon performing the procedure. For more information, you should consult one or several board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD FACS

Dear TWills04,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Generally speaking, your spine condition is not a contraindication for surgery. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Missing disk is not a contraindication to BBL surgery since we do not typically get near the spine with both the liposuction as well as the fat transfer. Please consider a virtual consutlation with a BBL provider to get a comprehensive evaluation and recommendation.
