Is There a Safe Brazilian Butt Lift Under $2000?

Thanks for the question - A Brazilian butt lift enhances the contour of your buttocks by injecting fat removed from other parts of your body (usually abdomen, hips and thighs). In my San Francisco area practice we've performed this procedure on people with excellent results. Most practices (mine included) charge about $2000-$2500 per body area of liposuction. Assuming you needed a very small buttock augmentation (my patients typically require between 200 and 400cc of transferred fat per side) and that all of the fat could be harvested from one area (this is not typically the case) you would be looking at about $2000 for just the fat harvest. After we harvest the fat it is gently spun down or decanted and select vials are selected for viability. We then use a variety of small cannulae to reinject the fat in appropriate planes within the buttocks. The re-injection typically takes 2-3 hours. The procedure takes time. It takes experience. You should be very careful about going to a surgeon that will do a Brazilian Butt Lift for $2000. Be sure to start your search with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

The short answer would be no.  It would be extremely rare to find a procedure that is this involved for this price by a board certified plastic surgeon.Here in Miami I see all the time where patients take a short cut or think they are getting a deal and in the long run it cost them much more than they every expected and at times puts their health at risk.  Make sure that you are actually getting a Brazilian Butt Lift  (liposuction and fat transfer) and not an illegal injection.  Also make sure that your procedure is being performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, that the surgery center is accredited and that a board certified anesthesiologist is performing your anesthesia.  Just be careful if the deal seems like it is too good to be true it probably is!  

Thanks for your question.

The price of a BBL varies by surgeon and location. Ensure your procedure is being done by board certified plastic surgeon with extensive BBL experience, a clean license, great reviews and great before and after photos. I would also suggest finding out exactly what the $2,000 price includes.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. The cost average varies depending the doctor and location. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

I would be VERY hesitant to undergo any BBL procedure for under $2,000.  I would make sure they are a board certified Plastic Surgeon and operate in an accredited hospital or surgery center.

In my experience there are various "levels" of BBL.  It all depends on the patients expectations and how much fat they have available to transfer to their buttock.  I separate my BBL procedures into 3 levels depending on how much liposuction and volume of fat transfer are desired. I combine liposuction, fat transfer, Hospital costs, OR fees, Anesthesia fees and postop fees into one overall cost.  This ranges from $7,500-9,000 depending on volume of fat transfer and OR time.  I would recommend a consultation to further evaluate your desires and come up with a plan that meets your wishes. Good luck!

A Brazilian Butt Lift starts at 6,500, and varies depending on the number of areas treated, treatment length, and complexity of the procedure.
