Liposuction & BBL cost?

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.
Respectfully,-Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Hello tianaw5,

I appreciate your questions! For safety reasons, it wouldn’t be feasible to perform all the procedures at once. Increased operative time is associated with higher risk of complications such as infection and deep vein thrombosis. Your plastic surgeon would need to evaluate you to assess your candidacy for these cosmetic procedures at the moment. Depending on your particular situation, the price of Vaser Liposuction with fat transfer to the buttocks (BBL) may vary from $12,000 to $20,000 in the U.S. Cost factors for butt enhancement procedures include: your surgeon’s expertise and experience, where you have your BBL surgery done (which country and city), the type of anesthesia or sedation that your surgeon uses, medications for your recovery, manual lymphatic drainage massages sessions, and your specialized compression garments and any other material needed to help you heal properly. Many surgeons’ practices, mine included, offer payment plans or financing (through Care Credit, First Finance or United Medical Credit, for instance) to help make BBL surgery more affordable. Otherwise, discounts for paying the full amount up-front, in cash, are also available. Best regards! Dr. De La Cruz.         

The costs of BBL varies based on location of the practice, the
physician, the patient's anatomy, and the number of areas that are
needed for liposuction in order to harvest the fat to be injected into
the buttocks. The
cost in the LA area usually start around $8,000 and depends on the
patient and the number of areas need for liposuction to harvest the fat
for transfer to the buttocks.

I wouldn't choose a surgeon on
cost alone, but look at their results and choose one you feel
comfortable with. Additionally, most plastic surgery practices offer
payment plans through financing companies such as Care Credit and
Alpheon. I recommend consulting several surgeons to help find the one
that is right for you. Good luck!

The price of Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) will
depend on the number of areas you liposuction and the amount of time it takes
for the liposuction and injections. 
Another factor will be the expertise of the doctor.  I tend to charge anywhere from $10,00-$15,000
for a BBL.  

The cost will vary depending on length of surgery, patient size and surgeon experience.Based on the number of areas of liposuction you are considering it could be between 9-13,000.But you should consult with several plastic surgeons in person to see if you are a good candidate and if it can safely be performed in one stage.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

Cost for liposuction and BBL including the fee for surgeon, surgical facility, anesthesia, and post operative care will depend on the city and surgeon. With that said it's best to set up a few consultations with different surgeons and make an informed decision based on their experience and speciality in the field. View their before and after photos to see what the outcome could potentially be. 

Cost factors vary significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:


1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average charges for most areas of the USA.


2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist, or an RN be used?
    
      3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
   
      4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed during the same surgery?

Dear tianaw5,
the cost of surgery depend on a number of factors which include the type of surgery, the surgeon's experience, facility fee, anesthesia, city where the surgery should be done.
I would recommend you to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after in-person examination you will get the correct price and you will know your options.

When planning a Brazilian butt lift, patients can look forward to a double benefit: reducing areas of unwanted fat while gaining a perkier, rounded posterior.  Each procedure must be planned according to the individual needs of patients, harvesting fat from target areas of the torso, thighs or knees and transferring it to create smooth, attractive contours optimized for each person. The amount of fat transferred  depends on the quantity available and the extent of buttock augmentation each patient desires.  Sufficient body fat for a buttock augmentation is very patient-specific, depending on an individual’s body shape and proportions as well as their expectations.  Prices vary a lot according to experience and board certification of the plastic surgeon, facilities, quality of the practice, region, etc…    Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure. Don't settle for less!

Thanks for the question.BBL costs anywhere between $5k at the low end in high volume, factory-style facilities to $12k or so in certain more expensive markets like Beverly Hills. Depends a lot on the surgeon's credentials, level of experience, word of mouth, facility fees, etc.  Lipo of the abdomen, back, flanks, and part of the thighs is pretty commonplace for sourcing the fat for the fat transfer to the buttock. Arms can be done in the same procedure as well. The neck and jawline don't provide a lot of fat but can certainly be treated in the same operation. All told, BBL usually takes between 2.5 and 4 hours in most hands.Please be mindful that BBL is not a "WEIGHT LOSS" operation, but is for CONTOURING of the body. You may lose a little weight, or may not lose at all (remember, the fat being removed is mostly being put back in, just in another place). If you are looking for weight loss approaches, you may need to counsel with a nutritionist, an internist specializing in weight management, or work with a practice that also offers nutrition/lifestyle coaching. I advised a startup company that uses telemedicine consultations with nutritionists and doctors to help patients follow medically directed diet plans and coach them to their goals. BBL is very popular here in southern California and many of us are experienced in this procedure, including staying up to date on various ways to keep the surgery as safe and comfortable as possible.
