Can I get a BBL with sciatica nerve damage?

Question

I’ve had sciatica for a year now, I have tingles all around my butt as well ass lower back and legs. I didn’t have this issue earlier in the year but when I was released from physical therapy I was cleared to exercise but I had an episode and needed injections and tingles began. I will be getting labs done as well as scans to check this month. I decided against lipo on back but still worry about whether it can cause complications or further damage. Aug 2022 last “episode,” bbl is in oct 2022

Hello @tyty82, thank you for your question. It is important that the physician who is treating the sciatica gives you his or her opinion regarding surgery. It is imperative to determine the type of inflammation, if there is nerve compression, since fat can put pressure on the area. For more information and recommendations is best to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Thank you for your question. For safety reasons, to be a good candidate for the procedures you want at the same time, your labs and the specialists preoperative evaluation must be optimal.

Kind Regards,

Hello and thank you for your question. I would suggest you get examined first by your plastic surgeon. Generally speaking, you can get BBL even if you have sciatic nerve damage. Thank you and good luck.

Dear Luminous715722,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Sciatic nerve damage is not a contraindication for BBL surgery. 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.

Maybe? Best to virtual consult with... I would request a written clearance from your neurologist or pain doctors. Also without posting photos very hard to approve you for surgery.
