Can I get a butt lift if I have a herniated disc?

In general, a buttock lift should have no direct impact on spinal nerves affected by a herniated disc.

On a side note, please be aware that a buttock lift will not only remove loose hanging skin but also further flatten the buttock of a massive weight loss patient like yourself. Furthermore, bbl fat transfer usually adds little to buttock projection, thus patients like yourself often benefit much more from buttock implants for a permanent augmentation of buttock shape, fullness , and projection.

Please note that an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock or hip implants, so you may need to travel far and away from home to find this particular surgeon. Hope this helps.

Questions about your spine are probably best directed at doctors who manage spine disease.

The nerves coming out of the spinal cord are anatomically pretty far away from where plastic surgeons are working when they do skin surgery, Liposuction and fat transfer.

Weight loss patients typically need skin surgery more than liposuction and fat transfer. He didn’t include pictures so we can’t make an assessment.

Continuing your tummy tuck to deal with the skin laxity on your backside sounds appropriate.

Ask your plastic surgeon if you have questions.
