My First BBL Consult - Ellicott City, MD
ORIGINAL POST
I drove from North Carolina to Maryland (5 hours)...
$17,675
I drove from North Carolina to Maryland (5 hours) for my first consultation for BBL with Dr. Markmann. I've looked for doctors in my area who perform this procedure, but haven't found any. After researching, I know I will need someone to assist/care for me and my two best friends live in Maryland and DC. My consultation was seamless!

Why So Pricey - I've Been Asked
I've been asked why is Dr. M so pricey, but I'm not sure what the comparison is. So I thought I would share the details of my quote and maybe this will help enlighten some on what's involved...7.5 hours general anesthesia, overnight hospital stay (hospital not surgical center - this is not done on an outpatient basis like alot of places), lipo three areas (flanks, dorsal roll, outer thighs)...any procedure done in a hospital, there are hospital fees.
Hope this helps!

The average cost for a Brazilian Butt Lift is about $7K for an all inclusive surgery:

So whats the extra $10K for??? I live in Bmore, so it would be nice to go to someone close, but I'd rather spend a couple extra thousand dollars in travel expenses and get superb results than stay in Maryland and pay an extra $10K for average-at-best results.

The BBL (inserting the fat) itself is $8000, it's done in a hospital with the hospital's team doing the anesthesia, ...etc. and includes an overnight stay which comes to $4500 or more depending on the length of the procedure. The rest of the price depends on how many lipoed areas there are. Some people get pretty much their whole body lipoed. It also covers follow up appts and 3 garments. All my numbers are approximate...I don't have my sheet with me but that's pretty much the ballpark.

See the photo of the quote I received and shared to get a breakdown of cost. Travel expenses are a part of the cost and in the event you need to follow up with your doctor you would have to pay that couple of thousand to travel again or to another doctor "close-by" for your follow up needs (all sx are not always seamless post-op).Cheaper isn't always better or safer, however, options were meant to be exercised.

On the one hand, I wouldn't mind traveling to see another equally qualified doctor to get better results at half the cost, even if that means seeing someone else for follow up care at home. But, I also see what you mean as far as having a seamless post-op. Makes sense to deal with the same facility throughout the entire process if you can afford it.
