Brazilian Butt Lift; does the cost include the hips too or just the butt?

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?

Thank you for your question. For optimal results for the BBL, the areas that should be liposuctioned include the lower back, hips and sometimes the outer thigh. These aeras help to contour and shape the buttock and enhances the results of the fat transfer. The abdomen is a another area that can be lipscutioned and its a great source for additional fat to to transfer. Prices range from $6,000-10,000 depending on the areas you wished to have liposuctioned. Please consult with a Board Certifed Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes

It usually includes the hips if it is needed, but I suppose some may break it out.  The quote in my office includes all of the liposuction and fat transfer to all the areas that are necessary to re-shape your figure as well as augment the size of your buttocks.  Find a board-certified plastic surgeon, by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, who specializes in gluteal surgery for in person for a consultation. Best wishes.
