I was wondering if you’re able to have a bbl done with sciatic nerve issues ? Pain radiates buttcheek, groin, hip area. Would these issues affect BBL procedure ?
Answer: BBL and Sciatica? - Yes Sciatic nerve injuries are a thing of the past with newer BBL techniques that do not inject the fat intra-muscularly. And any issues you may already have does not impact your candidacy for lipo and BBL.

Answer: Getting a BBL and sciatica The underlying cause for sciatica is almost always at the spinal level. While pain is felt in the buttocks and thigh the nerve compression happens as the nerve roots exit the spine from conditions such as bulging discs or spinal stenosis. Because there is rarely parholigy in the buttocks a BBL should not cause your sciatica to worsen. If you have a diagnosis that indicates there's a pressure on the sciatic nerve in your buttocks then it may be better to hold off on this procedure but most likely a BBL would not aggravate your sciatica. If you've not had a work up for your sciatica then I highly recommend that you do. This is generally going to be an MRI of your spine followed by steroid injections if there's nerve impingement. I can tell you from personal experience my sciatica was debilitating to the point of having to cancel surgeries and I'm now pain-free after my second steroid injection. I'm still not getting a BBL but you probably could without difficulties. Talk to your plastic surgeon and primary care doctor about these things. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
