Yes but please go to a board certified plastic surgeon familiar with BBL's and hernias.  You can really stay out of trouble and get great results but you need someone who knows how to stay safe.  Best Wishes!!

Hello @kcoss_, thank you for your question. It is possible for some conditions to allow surgical procedures to be performed, however, in order to determine if they are suitable, a medical examination and assessment appointment must be scheduled. To obtain more information and recommendations, it is best to consult one or more board-certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Hi kcoss_, 
If you have any underling anatomical abnormalities such as a lumbar hernia it is best to get this treated and resolved prior to liposuction and BBL. A hernia is an abnormal opening. During liposuction the instruments used to remove fat could enter into this opening and cause a life threatening injury. So it is important to have this repaired well in advance of any elective aesthetic surgery on that part of your body.

Dear kcoss_,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
