Why are Brazilian butt lifts so much more expensive in LA than Miami?

Question

Miami doctors typically inject more gluteal fat but charge half of the cost in LA?

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate
your question.

Cost varies
by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, anesthesia, length of
procedure etc.  I would recommend that you go to The American Society of
Plastic Surgery website and look for a list of board certified plastic surgeons
in your area.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes
prior to scheduling consultations.

The best way
to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a
board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative
plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

The difference in price has to do with the peri-operative costs. Also, malpractice insurance is mandatory in CA so some MD's prices will reflect that.

Los Angeles prices are slightly higher than around the country. Fortunately, you can travel to neighboring Orange County for more reasonable rates.
