Brazilian Butt Lift
Is There a Safe Brazilian Butt Lift Under $2000?
A Brazilian butt lift enhances the contour of your buttocks by injecting fat removed from other parts of your body (usually abdomen, hips and thighs). In our East Bay practice we've performed this procedure on people with excellent results. Most practices (mine included) charge about $2000-$2500 per body area of liposuction. Assuming you needed a very small buttock augmentation (my patients typically require between 200 and 400cc of transferred fat per side) and that all of the fat could be harvested from one area (this is not typically the case) you would be looking at about $2000 for just the fat harvest. After we harvest the fat it is gently spun down or decanted and select vials are selected for viability. We then use a variety of small cannulae to reinject the fat in appropriate planes within the buttocks. The re-injection typically takes 2-3 hours. The procedure takes time. It takes experience. You should be very careful about going to a surgeon that will do a Brazilian Butt Lift for $2000. Be sure to start your search with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Clinical Context
The greatest risk in a Brazilian Butt Lift isn't the liposuction itself but how the fat is placed in the buttocks. Large veins run through and beneath the gluteal muscles, and fat injected too deep or into muscle can enter the bloodstream, causing a serious complication called fat embolism. Surgeons reduce this risk by injecting fat only in the subcutaneous layer, above the muscle, using small cannulae and slow, controlled technique. This careful approach takes time, which is one reason quality BBL surgery is rarely inexpensive.
