Brazilian Butt Lift for Leg and Back Pain?
It is unlikely that a brazilian butt lift in the true sense of the definition will help your pain. There is a large chance that you will have the same pain post-operatively that you had before. Brazilian butt lifts are designed to improve your contour. Most of the fat that is transferred is at the mid and upper portion of your buttocks and would be unlikely to correct the problem you're describing. We have used fat transfer to correct scars or significant lipoatrophy from surgery or trauma that can help cushion nerves in that area (sciatic typically). This technique would not significantly address the cosmetic issues a brazilian butt lift would address.
Clinical Context
Back and leg pain often comes from the spine or a compressed or irritated nerve rather than from the buttock tissue itself. Adding fat to the buttock changes shape and volume, but it doesn't relieve pressure on a nerve or correct spinal alignment, so pain from those causes usually continues after surgery. If pain is the main concern, it's worth having it evaluated by a spine specialist or neurologist before considering any cosmetic procedure, so the actual cause can be identified and treated directly.
