Can I still have BBL with herniated discs?

During a CT scan of my abdomen recently they found I had a herniated disk and bone spur at T-12/L-1. Can I still have BBL/Lipo? My PCP wont discuss it, says to skip the plastic surgery and lose weight the real way. Hoping some of you might have run across this before!

There are many BBL surgeons, some better than others. You should find a BBL surgeon who does 6-8 BBLs per week and can show over 100 before and after pictures of their own patients. Also look for at least 150 five star Real Self Reviews. Regarding revision of your BBL, you will need to wait...

The price is entirely practice dependent. If it was planned to be staged than the cost may be included. If its a revision, typically surgeons only ask the patient to pay for the surgery center and anesthesia.I hope this was helpful,Dr. Daniel BarrettBeverly Hills, CA

As long as you have been properly treated for the infection and you have no sign of recurrence after you have finished the antibiotics, you may be a candidate for another BBL. I would wait several months after for the tissues to get softer. This will likely make your BBL more successful. Please...
