How much will a Brazilian Butt Lift cost in Detroit Michigan ? I'm 160lbs and 5'3.

Thanks for your question. Why limit your search to Detroit? IMHO you need to search areas of the country where this is frequently done. Although price is an important consideration, never let it be the determining factor.Prices will vary area to area of the country, the amount of fat to be transferred and the time it takes to do so. In Miami, Florida where BBLs are a common occurrence, the prices may vary from $7500 to $11,000. Whatever the case do your homework.The key is............ does the surgeon have a keen sense of aesthetics? Can he/she create a shapely, attractive buttock or are they just technicians that wind up with large unshapely behinds? The same holds true for the liposuction portion of the procedure. Understand that liposuction whether SAL, PAL or UAL ( not including LAL because the fat obtained through this technique will not be useful) is not that technically challenging. However, the keen aesthetic eye will determine the eventual work of art.We are creators and have the ability to turn out beautiful works of art. Simply put................not all artists create quality work.Always seek out the opinion of a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery with years of experience in liposuction and fat transfers. Furthermore request to see before and after photos of previous patients by that doctor....not a clinic or surgery center. Do your homework......research and verify the doctor's credentials. Have they had problems with the Board of Medicine, disciplinary or otherwise. Any law suits? How about the center, clinic or facility? Are they accredited by a national organization or do they just have State approval. Understand that at the current time, there are three nationally recognized organizations responsible for the highest levels of patient safety, AAAASF, AAACH and JCHO. You owe it to yourself to position yourself for the best possible results but under the most stringent safety regulations, If you have kids, even more so.How about anesthesia? Will you have a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology or a certified nurse anesthetist (CRNA)? Understand that there is no substitute for research. Cosmetic surgery, no matter how simple it may be to the patients, are invasive procedures and as such carry certain risks and complications.In our office we use TouchMD which is a web based program in which patients have the ability to load their picture unto the program. We can accommodate patients from as far away as California. I then evaluate them and can actually draw on the picture to show a potential patient where the incisions would be located and how the procedure is to be realized. It's all done to comply with HIPPA which is the federal law that protects the patient's medical information. Look them up.Give yourself the highest percentage of a sucssesful operation. Good luck

The buttlift is a very surgeon dependent procedure.  It will be better to pay a little more rather than have it revised later for a greater cost.  Find a plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of BBLs each year, has great reviews, and has great before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

A bbl cost will vary from region to region and from surgeon to surgeon. In NYC you have to assume it may run between $8000-$15000.
