Do mild degenerative lumbar changes matter in relation to pain after submuscular buttock implants?

ani6767Feb 4, 2024
Honorable doctors I am 64 and planning butt implants, which where I live are inserted submuscularly. However, I have doubts about the conditions in my lower back. Could they have any significance for postoperative problems in relation to pain? MR conclusion from back in 2011: Mild degenerative changes L4/L5 with mild disc protrusion and left-sided Hiz lesion. Small degenerative changes L5/S1 with asymmetric right-sided paramedian slight protrusion/modest proalpes with contact with the S1 root
