I had lower back surgery! Is it safe to get the BBL procedure?

The transfer of unwanted fat from various areas and its use to augment and accentuate the buttocks is called Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).Since disc surgery is done to reduce pressure on one or more nerve roots WITHIN the structure of the spine and the liposuction of the back is done ABOVE not within the spine, it should be safe to perform BBL on you (providing you do not have other medical conditions which may interfere with Liposuction or fat grafting).Good LuckPeter Aldea MD

Dear jaydani07, I have performed Brazilian Butt Lifts on a number of patients who have had lower back surgery.  The biggest challenge for my BBL patients who had had previous lower back surgery is the prolonged post op requirements to avoid laying on your back or applying too much pressure to your buttocks.It is important that your plastic surgeon discuss your planned procedure with your spinal doctor just to be sure there are no unusual issues in your particular case.  Because the spinal surgery is in a much deeper plane than the liposuction procedure in the lower back, it is unlikely that there is any increased risks in your situation.Discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon and your spinal surgeon who can best address your concerns.
