I am 5’3” and about 145 lbs. Am I a good candidate for a BBL? What is the range of cost for what I want?

Dear holly sophia,it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. The cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). In LA area, BBL typically ranges from 8K-12K depending on how much liposuction needs to be done to get enough fat. Daniel Barrett, MD

Thanks for your question. 
It is difficult to make a proper evaluation without seeing any pictures. However, at my practice, the max BMI for a BBL is 35. Our Brazilian butt lift is a standard cost of $8,299. It includes 360 lipo, which is liposuction of the upper and lower back, the upper and lower abdomen, and the flanks. Additional areas of lipo would be extra.We always have monthly promos on the procedure and also offer financing through CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, Health Credit Services, United Medical Credit and GreenSky.
Please be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
Take care,

Hello, thank you for your question. It is hard to tell without proper photos. I recommend you to schedule an email, Skype or in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

A good candidate has enough fat available for transfer in the procedure. The amount of fat that can be transferred in a BBL depends on how much fat the patient has to harvest and the amount of space there is to move the fat into. It is recommended for the patient to have a BMI of 30 or less. If you are too thin, a Brazilian Butt Lift may not be possible.A Brazilian Butt Lift starts at 6,500, and varies depending on the number of areas treated, treatment length, and complexity of the procedure.

Hello, thank you for your questionThe cost range depends greatly on location and specifics of your procedure. I would schedule a consult with a surgeon who's work you love and go over your goals and what potential options you have. 
Good Luck and let us know how it goes

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. based in your question its difficult evaluate you if the case dont have a picture, the price is depend of surgeon, country , clinic, ect.my recommendation is get  a consultation in person with a plastic surgeon to discuss all about theme.

It it hard to determine if you are a candidate without seeing you in person and without pictures. 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. There is usually a price for the procedure, one for the
facility, and one for anesthesia and the latter two are highly dependent
on where you are having the procedure done.
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!

Generally speaking you are a candidate for multiple sites liposuction and fat transfer to buttocks. However, without in person evaluation it is impossible to tell whether another procedure like TT, arm lift, thigh lift, may be needed after fat transfer. In person consultation is mandatory for a more specific answer. Good luck.

Thank you for your question. 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 from love handles or flanks 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.  
Buttock augmentation with fat grafting is one of our most popular procedures in Colombia, and from experience we can tell you that some patients do very well with 300 cc of fat per side while others can need 800 cc or more.  Prices vary a lot according to experience and board certification of the plastic surgeon, facilities, quality of the practice, region, etc…  That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  Best is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.
