Can a BBL solve tailbone pain?

Question

January 2020 I underwent bariatric surgery. I had a gastric sleeve. Then I got pregnant one month later and since I've given birth, I've had tailbone pain. Will getting a BBL, adding cushion back, make that pain go away? I was 275 at my heaviest, 225 before surgery, and now I'm 160.

Congratulations on losing the weight! Tailbone pain is common and usually gets better by avoiding prolonged sitting, sitting on a donut, and taking oral pain medications. The pain in your tailbone can occur after trauma to the tailbone such as vaginal childbirth. Recommend an exam with your PCP or GYN to determine if there is any need for concern.

Dear arabgirl121,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. It is hard to expect that BBL will solve tailbone pain. 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.

Your lower back pain will not be successfully treated with fat transfer. I suggest getting a proper woke up from a pain specialist in your area.
