How much does Brazilian Butt Lift cost?
Starting Price of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach is $9,000. This includes two areas of liposuction.
Your Brazilian Butt Lift price will depend on the number of areas where your surgeon will perform liposuction to harvest the fat to then inject for the BBL. This, coupled with surgeon and anesthesiologist fees will make up all costs associated with your BBL procedure.
We offer up to 24-month financing options to help our patients pay off the cost of their procedure over time. In just minutes, you can apply here to see what you are pre-qualified for before your consultation.
Why isn’t exact surgical procedure pricing available on the website?
Every patient’s anatomy is different and the complexity of each surgery varies from patient to patient as well as the total time in the operating room. We are able to give you a general range & starting price for the procedure however a consultation with our plastic surgeons will give you a closer estimate.
How long until I can sit after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?
For the first two weeks, you’ll need to avoid any activity – like sitting – that applies direct pressure on your butt as it can cause the newly injected fat cells to die. This two-week period allows enough time for adequate blood supply to develop so the fat graft can take.
Will insurance cover Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is considered cosmetic surgery, so it is not covered by insurance.
If cost is of concern, we offer financing options to help our patients pay off the cost of their procedure over time. In just minutes, you can apply here to see what you are pre-qualified for before your consultation.
How long will my Brazilian Butt Lift results last?
The fat cells that remain after about four months of recovery will be there permanently.
To keep your BBL results long term, we recommend maintaining your weight post-surgery. Fluctuations in weight can impact your results: drastic weight loss will slim your new butt down, while weight gain can also alter your newly sculpted proportions.
What will my scars look like after Brazilian Butt Lift surgery?
Brazilian Butt Lift scars are minimal. You’ll have scarring from the tiny incisions made for liposuction, usually with underwear or bathing suit bottoms easily concealing.
CosmetiCare offers comprehensive scar treatment solutions. During your consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons, they’ll discuss the recovery and healing process and how to minimize scarring post-procedure.
How will I look and feel afterward?
After a Brazilian Butt Lift, you will look slimmer and more defined in the areas where your fat was harvested. Your buttocks will look rounder, perkier, and more voluminous providing an appearance of youthfulness and robustness.
The average recovery time is around two weeks and you will be recommended to not sit directly on your buttocks during that time. Strenuous physical activity and exercise should be avoided for three to four weeks after surgery. You will typically be able to return to work and average daily routine in less than two weeks.
Some patients may experience bruising or swelling, which will subside within three to four weeks after the surgery. The injection sites are typically less than a centimeter wide and will be slightly more noticeable in the first few weeks. Any scarring caused by these injections will be easily concealable with most undergarments and clothing until fully healed.
Should I be at a certain BMI before having surgery?
Patient safety is always our highest priority and it is recommended that patients reach or be close to a BMI of 30 in order to have surgery. However, there may be some exceptions that can be made based on the patient’s anatomy & overall general health. This can be further discussed with our medical professionals during your in-person consultation.
What else do I need to know?
The results of the Brazilian Butt Lift are immediately noticeable, however, it will take a few weeks for swelling to subside and for your body to fully heal. You can expect roughly 60-70% of the fat injected to remain, while the rest will be naturally absorbed and eliminated by your body.
Due to this reabsorption, some patients will be injected with a slight excess of fat to ensure that the remaining fat retains enough volume. The rate at which your body heals is mostly dependent on your lifestyle and overall health.
