You can certainly do a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and in fact harvest fat from the tummy including the extra part that would be discarded and use if for the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). You heal simultaneously from both. Pain is very manageable especially with Exparel injections which numbs the surgical area for 3-4 days and is injected at the time of surgery. Our patients usually do great with this combination.Tummy Tuck 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 Surgery4. 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?
Costs for a tummy tucksurgeryThe cost will depend upon the type of tummytuck anesthesia skill find an experience of the surgeon. There’ll be regionaldifferences. Approximate costs can be found on real self, and other websitessuch as the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society ofAesthetic Plastic Surgery.Payment plans can be offered through CareCredit, local banks, credit cards, and other companies such as Prosper. Some plans have 12-18 months interest free.
The cost varies greatly with the demand for the surgeon. The operation should be tailored to your specifications and anatomy to produce a dramatic result. Seek out a plastic surgeon who has performed these combination procedures hundreds of times and has a great number of reviews and before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA
I appreciate your question.Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon's 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 your consultations , and also inquire about the type of financing each respective office offers. The patient care coordinator should be able to help you with this.The best way to assess and givetrue advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certifiedplastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.Best of luck!Dr. Schwartz
The cost of a Brazilian butt lift will depend on a variety of factors that include: · Your geographical location · Surgeon’s experience · Surgeon’s Expertise · Anesthesiologist’s fees · Facility fee · Additional procedures performed Where you live will be a key factor that determines how much a Brazilian Butt Lift will cost. The price will generally run higher in major metropolitan areas due to the increased cost of overhead. Surgeons with more experience and expertise may charge more due to their specialized training. Depending on the scope of work, I generally charge between $8,500 and $12,000, which includes facility and anesthesia fees. However, the fee can be as high as $16,000 and will fluctuate based on the various factors stated above. There are certainly benefits to getting a Brazilian Butt Lift and Tummy Tuck procedure at the same time – namely you can avoid having to go through two separate procedures and factoring in the recovery time necessary for each. It would also be more cost-effective to have them combined, as you would avoid having to pay some fees associated with surgery twice – such as the facility and anesthesia fees
Costs vary by the amount of work being performed. Consider that you will have three procedures done, tummy tuck, Liposuction (at least 1000cc), and fat grafting to the buttock. The extent of the procedures should be determined by an evaluation of your body shape and structure. I will say that because of the high cost of living, the Bay Area/Silicon Valley, where my practice is located, is higher than average. Think of this procedure as an "investment" in yourself, and resist the temptation to turn it into a "gamble" by going on price alone

Thanks for your question.Cost of any plastic surgery procedure is a combination of surgeon' fee, anesthesia fee, and facility fee.This depends on the surgeon's experience/expertise, duration of surgery, and geography.Each plastic surgeon will have his/her financial policy (and payment plan). However, most will require full payment prior to the surgery.Please select your plastic surgeon carefully. Ensure that your plastic surgeon is an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. Best regards.
Thank you for the question and fees vary from office to office and city to city. So go on some complimentary consultations, be evaluated, look at photos and compare fees till you find the surgeon for you.Dr. Corbin
Dear Ms. Yoursunshine,Thank you for your questions.Total costs are based on several components:A)what part of the country you have your surgery (coastal cities higher than inland cities)B)surgeons fees (more experienced surgeons are higher than less experienced)C)anesthesia fees (nurse anesthetist vs Bd. Cert. Anesthesiologist) D)facility fees (operations done in a hospital setting are usually higher in total cost)E) special equipment neededPlease search RealSelf & Am. Society of Plastic Surgery web sites for the sections on the average costs and fees.Most Plastic Surgeons have financing options avavailable.I feel compelled to state that while total cost should always be taken into considerationit is your body and we usually "get what we pay for".I recommend that you make several consultative appointments with Plastic Surgeons who are experienced and Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
