Dear Passionate3534,peripheral neuropathy is not a contraindication for surgery as long as your medical conditions are well controlled. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
There are many types and causes for peripheral neuropathy. If diabetes is the cause for your nerve damage, blood sugar levels should be normalized or very tightly regulated before considering surgery.

Neuropathy does not prohibit a BBL surgery necessarily. If you are determined to be a good candidate for a BBL, we would ask for help from your primary care physician to have you worked up for pre-operative clearance, making sure that it is safe for you to undergo the anesthesia and surgery.The optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing. Respectfully,Arian Mowlavi MD,FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
It's not the peripheral neuropathy that is important but rather what is causing it. Simply having peripheral neuropathy by itself should not limit your ability to have a BBL. If for example it's related to diabetes then your diabetes is fairly advanced and you already have fairly significant tissue damage in your body. In that case having any unnecessary elective procedures may not be the best idea for a multitude of reasons. This may be a question better asked to your primary care doctor. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
