Brazilian Butt Lifts in Sydney - Australia, AU
ORIGINAL POST
I'm a 28 year old female with no kids searching...
$17,000
I'm a 28 year old female with no kids searching desperately for a fantastic surgeon to give me a Brazilian butt lift in Australia. Im wondering if anyone can give me advice as to which doctor to choose or if they are also from Australia and have had this procedure. So far doctors I have contacted are Dr Ajaka from cosmos clinic, Dr Lanzer, Dr Barnouti, Dr Tavakoli, Dr Drielsma, Dr Choy and Dr Hodgkinson. Any help
Is appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hi, I'm booked in with Dr Chan from the Victorian Cosmetic Institute. He is way booked out though so its not until March, but I'm so excited. Any news on who you are going with yet?
September 21, 2016
That's fantastic :) I've heard nothing but good things about him. Not yet! Lol idk if you saw the rest of my review but I'm heading to the states for my bbl now. I'm tossing up between Dr Dass and Hazani in LA
March 6, 2017
Did you get a bbl from Dr Hazani? I live in New Zealand and looking at going to him in July this year! Would love to get it done in Aus but I can't find a Surgeon that I love! Did you have this same problem ?

Weighing up the options :|
Ok I never ended up having consults with Dr Tavakoli (who is a board certified plastic surgeon) even though I would have loved to as his work is beautiful but his prices for this procedure START at $20000 which way too much!! I didn't make one with Dr Tim Papadopoulous (board certified plastic surgeon) either as he had no before and afters and a bad lipo review and I didn't make one with Dr Barnouti (board certified plastic surgeon) becuase I read some mixed reviews on his as well. I did however go for consults with Dr Ellis Choy (board certified plastic surgeon), Dr Joseph Ajaka (cosmetic surgeon) and Dr lanzer (cosmetic surgeon) Dr Choy and Dr Lanzer were both lovely as were there receptionists/assistants (Siobhan and brad). They gave me different quotes (Dr Choy $16000 and Dr Lanzer $15000) and both said they would perform the procedure under general anethetic and lipo however many areas I needed but both couldn't show me many examples of bbls they had done so I didn't want to risk paying that much and not getting a good result.
Which brought me back to the original clinic I was considering - cosmos in double bay with Doctor Joseph Ajaka (cosmetic doctor).
I've had two appointments at cosmos ($250 for the first which was supposed to cover to cost of my first garment if I went through with the surgery and the second was free) the first consult went for just over an hour and in which dr Ajaka had a look at me and drew over where he would take the fat from I have total faith in him taking fat what I was concerned about is him putting it back in to achieve the look I want. He had another doctor with him who is going to start working there at the end of the year and went over prices etc with me. At cosmos a bbl STARTS at $10000 IF you are under 60kgs (which I am not) so it started at 12000 with lipo to two areas and then each additional area was $2200 zz I needed lipo from 7 areas! Upper and lower tummy, flanks, lower and upper back, sacrum and I wanted my arms/chin done :( anyway.. Dr ajaka said he would not charge me for the sacrum but to do everything else not including arms was $17600 including arms $19900 and he would need to do it in two sessions (one at the start of the week and the second a few days later) as they perform this under twilight sedation. I didn't want that so opted to leave my arms out and do it in one day.
This brings me to my second consult, my second consult I was told via email I would have a blood test, before photos taken and garments fitted. I asked that they have more before and afters of bigger fat transfers then the website that I could see and they said ok, yet on the day no one knew about the email as the lady I messaged was away, so I didn't get to see any as they have some thing about showing u on the computer cos it shows the patients name which makes me a bit suss as they say they perform this more then weekly yet they couldn't show me extra photos.. Anyway I don't doubt they do it a lot as Dr ajaka has performed this at plastic surgery summits and whatever but I just would have liked to see some more pics: I can't stand how surgeons act like seeing photos of their work is like pulling teeth and I'm over it.
Anyway as I was stalking real self the other day I came across Dr Ron Hazani in LA and am now considering just scrapping Sydney all together and using my money to go to the states as it would cost about the same with flights and accommodation. I'm just worried about the flight home etc. I've been emailing Dr Hazani and am hoping to have a video consult this week so I can see exactly how much it will be and make up my mind. That's all for now just thought I would leave an update about my struggle lol :(

I'm so excited for you. Please keep us updated I to live in Sydney and would love to get it done but havnt really found anyone that does a bbl. Dr tavakoli is amazing but his prices are ridiculous. I would love to travel to America to see dr hazani. I really hope you find a doctor here but not much doctors preform a BBL so it's hard to trust. All the best and keep us posted
August 9, 2016
Hi! Thanks so much for your updates. I'm from Melbourne and really want to get this procedure done too but yea unfortunately not many docs here in Oz. I was going to have a consultation with dr Tavakoli but after reading he charges over $20k maybe not lol... I've actually made an appt with Dr Gavin Chan here in Melbourne.. He's a cosmetic surgeon but specialises in BBLs and has done a lot of them... He's highly requested so my consultation is not until December and he's booked out till feb for surgeries. Hopefully you find done one local as flying to the states would be difficult, also for post surgery appointments would be good to stay here.. Good luck and definitely following your journey :)
August 9, 2016
Hey Hun that's ok! The struggle is real in Australia : I'm stil undecided about stcking with dr ajaka at cosmos or going to the states, it will end up costing me the same and I can get my arms done there as well which is a major selling point for me becuase my arms are a bit chunky. Dr Tavakoli seems so lovely but yeah.. Prices from $20000 is just too much! I honestly didn't want to spend over $16000 cos I want a rhinoplasty as well later on.. Anyway Dr chan had a really good quote for me over fb but I didn't follow through just becuase Sydney is easier he's still in the back of my mind though and I heard from a friend who knows him he is really maticilous in the way he works and she would let him do one on her which is good to hear cos she's very particular lol
August 9, 2016
Hey girl, yea iT SEEMS SO much better in the states but I just don't think I'd be able to travel for that long... Good to know about dr Chan.. Ive heard so many great reviews and he does a great job as far as I've seen. May I ask how much he quoted you? I don't want to spend too much either but will pay extra if results are better. I would love Lipo on my arms but I'm quite petite so I'm pretty sure I have to gained about 6-7 kg
August 9, 2016
They said 13-16k but they didn't see pictures, I think it would be around the 15-16k mark but I'm not sure :
August 9, 2016
Ok thanks! Yea that's heaps better than dr Tav...i just got an email from Dr Tavakoli's office and omg he charges $25k -$28k that's ridiculous!!! Well hoping to find a great surgeon too... I'll be following your updates :)
August 9, 2016
The lady I was emailing was so unhelpful too I kept trying to clarify with her how much it was before I wasted $300 on a consult just to find out I couldn't afford the operation it was seriously like emailing in circles, don't get me wrong I think he is a fabulous surgeon and I'm sure they're great but it took a long time for them to give me the information I was asking for. Thanks so much I'll be following yours too if you start a review!
August 9, 2016
Expensive consultation too... I'm either Goin to go with dr chan or go overseas. Well I'd rather travel to the states and have a mini holiday with my fam at the same time... I'm actually considering Goin to LA. Maybe next year... Ladies seem to have nicer results overseas also.. Well i wish you luck... Not sure if I'll start a review but I'll def let u know if I decide on where and who to go to for a bbl.
August 11, 2016
Hi! Have u decided yet who to go to? I'm now even considering Goin to the states, however, if I stay here probably dr chan and I'm Goin for a consultation to a plastic surgeon here who is new to BBLs but has done plenty of fat transfers and Lipo... So anxious haha... Even overseas, the best docs charge $10k+ so ends up being expensive also inc flights and accomodation etc. only thing I'm worried about is the flying back for 15-20 hours and complications.. Well if you find any new docs pls let me know. Tbh I just want some kind of butt coz ATM I have zero lol :)
August 11, 2016
Hey Hun I still havnt decided D: I'm having online consults with Dr Dass and Dr Hazani from LA and then I will see the prices and chat with my partner and decide if we take the plunge and go there or stick with cosmos in Sydney, thing is I can have mine in Sydney in the last week of September, if I want to go to the states I have to wait till Christmas time which is fine I just want it done already lol when I used to work out I had a curvy figure but I've since broken my ankle and I have a full on job so the thought of starting from scratch again kills me u can see from my pics what I have now eeek lol
August 11, 2016
Hey girl yea I'm looking at Dr Dass too and dr Hughes. Would love to know how much he charges you.. It's such a difficult decision.. But that's awesome that ur able to do in September if u wanted to... I chatted with the dr from God coast Cosmo and he was super nice and helpful... I'm thinkin of gettin this done in June next year but depends of my hub can take the time off as I'll need help with kids and school pick ups etc.. I'm not sure which is u in the pics coz they all look amazing so u look fab already lol.. When I mean I have no butt I mean nothing.. Like surfboard lol plus I'm thin.. I'm tryin to gain at least 5 kg. I'm scared to send pics coz I don't weigh enough
August 11, 2016
Forgot to ask, are the online consultations free? I've been chatting with dr Hughes in Instagramsnd he's so nice... He says he dies BBLs on thin girls... So confused lol dr Dass or dr Hughes.. That's if i travel over to the states only lol... I think LA is the easiest to go to in the US :)
August 11, 2016
Oh that's Dr Lim right? Everyone says he's really good did he give u any good advice? Tbh I wouldn't mind going to him either I really want to get it done here too but at the same time it's so hard to get them to show u before and afters and when it's the same price.. I really don't want to pay all that money and be disappointed with the results that's why I started thinking about going to the states. It would be different if they openly showed before and afters and were more descriptive when talking about your results and what u want to achieve, even tho I was with dr ajaka at cosmos for an hour I felt like it was rushed and he spent a lot of time just saying yep this will be good but not really explaining how.. Plus I hate how they only include two areas of lipo for a bbl whereas America it's like your whole trunk that's included. Anyway.. I believe the consult with Hazani is free but Dass is $60 aud. also I asked them what they include in their bbls Hazani gives u all your garments, concierge, a bbl pillow and post op opointments and Dass gives you garments and medication I'm not sure about concierge etc. I haven't got a quote from Dass yet but I think his are usually around 10k? But idk what areas of lipo that includes, Hazani said $8900 for bbl and $1500 for arms and $1500 for legs. I only really want my arms, upper and lower back, sides and abdomen done tho. Also I forgot to mention I'm nervous about flying home too I couldn't even stand the 5 hour flight home from
Bali let alone 15hrs and having to stand etc. plus I've never been to America I really don't kno what to expect or do argh :(

August 11, 2016
It's def a tough ask to be standing up for 15 hours. I don't think it's possible ciz you'll be in too much pain still.. Plus so uncomfortable unless u fly business and for me that's out of the question... I guess it ends up costing the same as here but then u have to include airfares, passports(if not up to date) accomodation etc and I was thinkin what if something goes wrong.. There you have to pay huge dollars to be seen in hospital not like here. There's a lot of pros and cons. I guess here if you get sick or you need to see the doc you can go at any time... So there's constant communication verbally and physically. I don't know what areas i need to do Lipo since I haven't got much fat that's why I'm
Goin to gain weight. Maybe my arms I would do since they tend to gain weight more and def stomach snd flanks. Oh and yes it wa dr Kim from cosmos. He's really nice. Told me he over stuffs the butt by 20%. I can show u what he said but I'll inbox u if u like :)

August 11, 2016
That's so true I've never been there before so I have no idea about hospital costs etc. I was planning on flying me and my partner there for 3 weeks so all up it would still be about $18000 without anything going wrong. Business is out of the question for us as well :( and yes I would love to hear if you could send it through! Did he show u any extra before and afters then the ones on the website? It already sounds like he's easier to communicate with then the clinic in Sydney >_>
August 11, 2016
Yes I'm so Scared of something Goin wrong or getting dvt on the way back home. I think it could possibly cost more coz if surgery is 10,000usd then that's about $13,000aud plus flights, accomodation, food/spending, transport etc If surgery is more than 10k then even more :( Worse if there are any complications. If I go overseas I'll be Goin with my fam inc my two kids lol so they can go to Disneyland and have a bit of a holiday while I'm
In pain.. Lol :/ anyways I'll inbox you the info. Dr Kim is super easy to chat with. No pics tho coz I asked him questions on Instagram, he responded quickly. :)

August 13, 2016
Hey I'm also 28 and over 60kg looking to do this procedure. But I heard Ur not supposed to sit down for a long time after the procedure so not sure flying back from the states is a good idea. Thanks for sharing all Ur info about consults, it really helps!
August 13, 2016
They say you can sit after 3 weeks for short periods with a bbl pillow so if I do go there we will stay for 3 weeks after the procedure and I will get up every 15 minutes or try and get a row of seats with a doctors note so I can lie on my tummy.
August 18, 2016
Hey girl have u finally chosen a doctor?.. Just Saw that u have a surgery date booked! That's great... You must be so excited :)
August 19, 2016
Hey :) that was my date I had booked in with cosmos clinic so technically I'm supposed to be having this done there in about a months time however I've been looking more and more at L.A and am considering cancelling. I have an online appointment with Dr Dennis Dass next weekend so I will decide after that what I'm going to do : I'm so stressed out haha :(
August 19, 2016
Lol I totally get ya... I feel stressed out too. Wow so possibly u could get it done in s month!! That's awesome! L.A looks amazing too..If I go to the states looks like id go for dr Dass too :) please let me know how your consultation goes with dr Dass... Good luck xx
August 19, 2016
I sure will i just wrote another update for the review with pics and things to explain why I'm thinking about going there but i checked a text and came back and it was all gone D: I'll try type it again, the consult with Dass was $65 aud xx
August 19, 2016
Awesome! Love to read your updates... Will u be Goin soon if u decide to go? I'm thinkin June/July regardless whether I go or stay... I'll still keep my appt with dr Chan but really considering dr Dass too... His work is fantastic... Plus I'm petite and don't weigh a lot but he seems to Achieve amazing results even with smaller patients... $65 ain't bad.. Can't wait to know what he says... Hope costs aren't too high :)
August 19, 2016
You and me both lol D: if I can I would love to go over Christmas/new year this year if they can't do that I will decide if I want to wait till April/March next year or just stick with cosmos in September. I'm praying he can fit me in over Xmas but I know it is winter there so a lot of girls want it done ready for summer :(
August 19, 2016
Wherever I go I'm sure you'll look fantastic! All the best on your consultation this wknd x
UPDATED FROM sa8793
6 days pre
Much needed update lol
Okayyy so after much thought I decided not to go with anyone in Australia. Although travelling isn't ideal I would rather pay $18000 and get a good result then pay $18000 for a subtle result or a result where I have no idea what that doctor can achieve.
Since my last update I have had two online/phone consultations with two surgeons in California. The wonderful Dr Dass and Dr Hazani.
Dr Dass's consult was $65 aud however he was amazing, easy to talk to, spent over 40 minutes on the phone with me, went over everything from medicine, to medical conditions, to where the surgeries are, how he performs them, what's included in the price and times/dates he does surgery. He was seriously so lovely I was so happy after having my consult with him, I also got to speak to one of his receptionist/coordinators Angela who was equally as lovely. I've seen some amazing work by Dr Dass however I have also seen a handful of cases with uneven lipo. He also is on the more expensive side of things with a quote of $10900 U.S. for everywhere cosmos was going to take fat from or $11900 U.S. inc. arms.
Dr Hazani on the other hand was a bit more rushed and hard to get a hold of. I actually emailed him before Dass, like over a month ago, Dr Hazani emailed me himself the next day saying I didn't have enough fat and needed to gain weight, he then told me to contact Debbie in the office.. Who I never heard from.. Weeks later I get an email from Gary his like finance guy who responds straight away, he put me onto Nayely who was way better then Debbie and got back to me all the time, she set up the consult with Hazani and we went from there. Since I first contacted him I took new pics to show I actually did have a lot of fat and he then said I look like a good candidate. On the phone I didn't get a chance to ask many questions however he gave me a very good price which was about 1000 less then Dasss first price and included arms and thighs. I have only seen two of hazanis patients who had uneven lipo, the rest seem very happy, I can't decide who does nice butts. But I really need to hurry and choose one! I was considering Miami for a while, dr Blinski or Ghurani, but it was all too much for me and I decided to stay with Cali. If anyone can give me any recommendations/opinions about Hazani or Dass I would love to hear from you! :) I want to book asap

I just booked Dr Dass. I am travelling there a week today from Canada. My surgery is on Tues Oct 4th. Let's stay in touch and compare notes. I'm sooo excited to be a Dass doll. Yeehhhhh!
September 24, 2016
I booked him yesterday lol I'm terrified but so excited at the same time. I'm so excited for you! Definitely keep in touch! I can't wait to hear how it goes :)
September 24, 2016
Awesome! CONGRATS ! On our way to be Dass Doll sisters! :) woo hoo
We're paying reallllly good money for Dass (the exchange rate suxxx so I paid $17,120 CAD) but he's VERY experienced so I am not nervous at all. I'm really soooo excited!
The results on submitt08 were so incredible! I would be exstatic to have her hour glass figure.
Keep in touch doll.

September 24, 2016
$17,120!! Oh my lordddd I thought we had it though in Aus I think mine will be about $14500 but with flights for my partner and I and accomodation etc it will easily be about $20,000. I'm not gonna lie for a while there I was tempted to go to Miami they're prices are ridiculous and their results seem good but I just took the plunge with dr Dass so fingers crossed our results are phenomenal. I love submit08's results and iwantaflatbelly they are amazing
September 24, 2016
Oh yes he'll be sooo worth it. All his clients look fab!!!
We're staying in Beverly Hills for 10 days in a hotel. With flights and accommodations it'll be a pretty penny. Praying it's worth it!!
We're taking time to enjoy shopping in LA. & sight seeing before surgery. :) how about you?

September 25, 2016
Yeah I've never been to the states :) so we get in on the 30th and have like 4 or 5 days to check things out before I become an invalid lol if it's not worth it I think I'll cry I'm sacrificing fixing my nose for this lol
September 25, 2016
Oh wow. What day is your surgery doll?
I want to get my nose done too! Booty more important right now.

The 5th of January I think. Lol my nose kills me. The day that is done will make my life but I can only do one thing at a time. Hopefully the booty is worth it ;)
November 7, 2016
Aw I'm happy you finally chose a surgeon! And you have good taste in booties! I feel the same way about Dr. Dass & Dr. Hazani, personally love both of those docs results!
November 7, 2016
Thank you! I'm happy too! Although playing the waiting game is killing me! Lol and it's so hard carrying around all this extra weight :( but I'm sure it will all be worth it :)
