If you can find a surgeon you like close to home that would allow for the best followup. If you want to travel, I would really focus on quality first. The most affordable BBL is the one that is only performed once with minimal complications. When complications do occur, you need a surgeon who can manage these concerns. I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
