Is a Brazilian tummy tuck more expensive than regular?

Hi. I am not sure that you are not confusing Brazilian Buttlift with other procedures. There are certainly specific abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) techniques that some notable Brazilian surgeons prefer, which they lecture about. These may include liposuctioning areas that are then going to be undermined (separated from the underlying muscle layer), which many surgeons avoid doing in order to preserve blood supply, or specific techniques of shaping of the abdominal muscle layer. However, I do not think most plastic surgeons routinely refer to a "Brazilian tummy tuck," whereas the "Brazilian buttlift" is a commonly performed procedure involving liposuctioning fat from the abdomen or other areas and placing it into the buttocks to enlarge them.

Ultimately, your choice of plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck procedure should be made based on credentials, safety record, attitude, board certification in plastic surgery, bedside manner, and your comfort level with the information you receive during your consultation, including before/after pictures. Whether it is done using some sort of gimicky-named technique or not, it is more important to have a good idea of the techniques your surgeon uses and representative results.
