Is a BBL risky with Spina Bifida Occulta? (Photo)

Question

I noticed a sacral dimple recently. It has caused no issues and has been unremarkable so far. However, I am scheduled for a BBL in June. I was wondering if this procedure would mess anything up? Will my spinal cord be effected if I do happen to have Spina Bifida Occulta? Thank you

Hello, thank you for your question. I recommend that you discuss this through email Skype or in-person with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation. Spinal bifida comes in many forms; you do not want to run the risk of damaging nerves.

Dear HotPotato98,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. 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.

I don’t think you have spina bifida occulta.

To location of your dimple or pit is more consistent with a pilonidal cyst.

I don’t believe your spinal cord will be threatened by the procedure but you should discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Best,

Hello,
Thank you for sharing the information, it is a pleasure for me to answer your question.

Definitely the most appropriate is to start (tummy tuck, liposuction and BBL can also be included), you are a candidate perfect, for the procedure, with this you can eliminate all localized fat and flaccidity, you will get the best results and have a defined appearance according to your body. everything depends on your BMI, if it is within the normal range, above 35 it can generate risks.
It is advisable to consult with a certified plastic surgeon, for a good evaluation, to provide you with all the information you need to know about the appropriate recommendations, so that you can achieve the desired goals in your body.

I hope this answer will help you
My best wishes for you...
