I've been to a few consultations here locally in my city of Houston. So far the lowest price I've been quoted for a BBL was $8500. I recently spoke with a Surgeon in Mexico that I was referred to by a friend, and was quoted $4200 after emailing photos of myself. The price sounds great but I'm really nervous about how safe it would be.
