How much is the cheapest butt augmentation?

In general, in the world of plastic surgery, whether cosmetic or reconstructive, we advocate potential patients seek out quality not quantity (including price). The best chance for success is always the first time around and revision surgery not only gets expensive but almost never restores things back to normal or optimum levels. Read on for more general information on buttock augmentation:Regarding buttock augmentation, let me start off by saying that I currently see at least 1 - 2 patients per week that failed "brazilian buttock lift" (i.e. the fat melted away after 10 - 12 months) and are now seeking a more reliable and permanent option (i.e. buttock implants). Allow me to share with you some information that you may not hear elsewhere. There are only two proven safe and relatively effective methods for Buttock Augmentation and Hip Augmentation: 1) Autologous Fat Transfer (using your own fat, transferring from one area of the body to the other) and 2) Buttock/Hip Implants (semi-solid silicone rubber implants that cannot rupture &/or leak). Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection.Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates because they lack an adequate amount of fat to harvest. Another tip is that if you purposely gain weight (i.e. fat) for the procedure, the fat you lose first as you get back to your baseline weight is that very same fat that was transferred into your buttock...so don't fall victim to this recommendation. Although using your own fat is relatively safe, the one serious complication that can rarely (< 1%) happen is "fat embolism" in which some of the fat gets into the blood stream and travels up into the lungs, heart, and/or brain causing serious problems. This complication is more likely to happen with the larger amount of fat being transferred. This is even more likely to happen when using fillers like PMMA and hyaluronic acids. Also fillers, when injected in large quantities, have a relatively high tendency to migrate away from the original area they were placed and tend to stimulate a lot of inflammation and a subsequent disastrous amount of scar tissue/hardening.Thus buttock/hip implants become a very good, safe, and long term reliable option for most patients seeking buttock augmentation (at least in my practice). I prefer to insert the buttock implants through a 2 inch long incision along the inner curve of each upper buttock cheek at the level of the tailbone, similar to two opposing parentheses ")(" (concealed within the crevice between the buttock cheeks) and the hip implants through a ~ 1 inch incision just below the beltline above the hip region. The buttock implant should always be placed under or within the gluteus maximus muscle. In this position, the implant is less palpable, less visible, and does not sag or shift/migrate over time unlike implants placed on top of the muscle. Therefore it is extremely important to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure (in fact both implants and fat transfer so that s/he is not bias). And in this case too, at least in my surgical practice, the infection rate is minimized to ~5%. Glad to help.Depending upon the amount of your current fat reserves and their distribution, you may or may not be a reasonable candidate for fat transfer. If you are wanting to utilize the fat to further augment your buttock in addition to implants, then I caution you against this. The reason being that the fat needs to be placed into the buttock muscles for optimal survival, however, this is exactly where the implant needs to reside and thus risks infection and/or death of the fat. Because of this risk, I frequently avoid fat grafting into a buttock that has an implant. Bottom line, I recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon specialist in buttock augmentation (BOTH implants and fat transfer) to determine what option is best for you. Glad to help.

And the patient is now dead. Click on the web reference link below for the sordid details.Cheap is unsafe. Cheap often leads to complications and failed outcomes and (expensive) re-operations.Cheap is stupid. And unfortunately for this Florida woman, cheap was fatal.I hope that was not too blunt or dogmatic. But, please do not ever make a medical decision (especially one regarding ELECTIVE surgery) based on "cheap."You can always start with ABPS-certified plastic surgeons who offer "free" consultations, as my partner and I do in our Minneapolis office. Start getting information and costs, and then compare. I trust you will make the right choice, and I would bet you won't choose the "cheapest." At least if you are listening. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Please do not choose your surgeon based upon cost.  I
would search for the board certified plastic surgeon who you feel is
most likely to give you the best results and who performs hundreds of
these procedures each year. I would look at patient reviews as well as
before and after photos on that surgeon's website.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
The average cost varies a lot depending the city, the clinic, the plastic surgeon and the amount of transferred fat. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Buttock augmentations really range in price, depending on what you are having done (implants vs using your own fat), your surgeon's experience, what part of the country you are in, etc. You should seek several opinions from board certified plastic surgeons if cost is a major consideration for you, however be wary of people who are offering prices that are significantly less than the usual price point. 

I think that you need to be seen in person to make an appropriate assessment.  Fees will vary from surgeon to surgeon. Good luck!

It typically ranges from $5,000 to $10,000.Please look for a respectable, experienced plastic surgeon rather than the best price.Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

The fee for a Buutock augmentation varies from practice to practice. Some practices run specials periodically during which time you can save.; we are currently running for a limited time a special on the BBL You should call Board Certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience performing the BBL.
