This is a rather lengthy procedure requiring repositioning, precise contouring, and then treating the collected fat and then fat transfer to the buttocks. Most of the time you will be spending about, if not more, just for the anesthesia and operating room expenses.
That doesn’t even include the physician’s fees. So, if you are paying less than $2,000, you will probably need to do this outside the US or highly question the surgeon performing the operation.
I would inquire if he/she is a board certified plastic surgeon or someone who is only a cosmetic surgeon with minimal training, thus the lower cost of the operation. (Joel B. Beck, MD, FACS, Bay Area Plastic Surgeon)
The average cost for a Brazilian butt lift, depending on the region of the United States, performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility is approximately $6,000 to $12,000.
This costs includes surgeon fees (for liposuction, fat processing, fat transfer, and body scultping), surgical facility fees, general anesthesia fees, and postoperative care.
It is possible, as for any cosmetic surgery procedure, to find someone willing to do it for less, however, these providers are often not board-certified plastic surgeons, do not have the proper training, and may not perform surgery in an accredited surgical facility.
It is also possible to travel abroad for plastic surgery procedures at a reduced price, but again, these procedures are often performed in facilities which are not held to the same regulatory standards as those in the United States. (Jaime Perez, MD, Tampa Plastic Surgeon)
Brazilian butt lift is a long and relatively costly procedure. Average Prices for brazilian butt lift in my area range from 7-12000. There is no way someone reputable could do this operation for 2000. If it’s too good to be true than it likely is! (Irvin M. Wiesman, MD, Chicago Plastic Surgeon)
Cheap buttock lift equals poor result and likely complications
A properly done buttock lift, buttock implant, or fat injections to the buttocks is major surgery that can not be remotely done for $2000. Anyone that is offering such a price is most assuredly using some unapproved material for injection. The price is not worth the risk. (Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD, Indianapolis Plastic Surgeon)
Brazilian Butt Lift is a time consuming procedure
The BBL procedure tends to be a little on the expensive side (10-12K) simply because it takes a few hours to do these procedures safely and with good outcomes. (Scott C. Sattler, MD, FACS, Seattle Plastic Surgeon)
Price Should Not Be the Deciding Factor
It is important not to sacrifice your safety for price, because it can cost you dearly later – either as embarrassment from poor results, the cost of revision surgery and in some cases even your life. Brazilian Butt Lifts are comprised of two components: liposuction and fat injections.
In order to have smooth, natural results you will want to find a doctor who has extensive training in plastic surgery and particularly this procedure. When considering the price of the procedure, patients need to remember that the doctor needs to pay for an anesthesiologist, nurse, medical staff, supplies, etc.
So if the price of the procedure is “too good to be true”, it probably is. Although safely performed everyday, it is important to remember that this is a surgical procedure and should be taken seriously. At our practice we only work with board certified anesthesiologists, registered nurses and trained medical staff to ensure safety at all times. During your consultation, be sure to ask your surgeon about his surgical staff and specialty training. (Tarick K. Smaili, MD, Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon)
Average Price Brazilian Butt Lift
No, and if you find a physician offering this, walk away. Significant volume enhancement in the buttocks requires surgeons to pay for disposables, operating room time, harvesting equipment, anesthesiologist and operating room staff.
That’s $2000 right there. I would discourage you to avoid the bottom-dwellers of cosmetic surgery because, frankly, you get what you pay for. Check out financing programs with your board certified plastic surgeon’s office staff.
Here in Mentor, Ohio, many of our plastic surgery patients do use financing to get what they want and budget their payments over time. (Paul Vanek, MD, Cleveland Plastic Surgeon)
That amount would not pay for the anesthesia and operating facility to perform the procedure. Please see a board certified Plastic Surgeon with experience in this procedure for an evaluation. (Paul Vitenas, Jr., MD, Houston Plastic Surgeon)
The anesthesia alone would consume most of your $2000. This amount of money would not cover the cost of supplies in the operating room the drugs and the anesthesia being given you. (Wendell Perry, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
No reputable Plastic surgeon would do a Brazilian Butt Lift for 2,000 dollars
Various Plastic surgeons charge different fees depending on where they practice and how much they are in demand. However, the common factor that determines ALL cosmetic surgery fees is covering the doctor’s expenses for offering an operation (licensing, overhead, malpractice insurance etc). I can think of no place in the US where a reputable Plastic surgeon can afford to perform a Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat Transfer to Buttock) for 2,000 dollars. Anyone offering to do it for this price should be investigated VERY carefully. (Peter A. Aldea, MD, Memphis Plastic Surgeon)
