What Is a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A Brazilian butt lift is a cosmetic procedure that is designed to boost the volume of the buttocks to create a curvier and more prominent silhouette. To add fullness, fat is harvested from other parts of the body, then used for fat transfer to the buttocks.

The first stage of a Brazilian butt lift surgery involves carrying out liposuction close to the bottom to remove and harvest fat for fat transfer. By slimming down the thighs, waist, and hips, the rear automatically looks larger, and once the excess fat that has been harvested is added via fat transfer, the results are staggering.

The fat that has been taken from the back, waist, hips, or thighs is injected into the buttocks, usually the upper part, and then the injected fat is blended to produce a rounded, streamlined shape. The fat transfer will continue until your board-certified plastic surgeon is happy with the results.

The buttocks will then be dressed and left to heal.

Why Do People Have Brazilian Butt Lift Surgery?

Brazilian butt lifts have become increasingly popular in recent years. For many people, the driving force behind the decision to have a Brazilian butt lift surgery is a lack of confidence.

If your derrière is flat, or aging or changes in your weight have caused the skin to appear saggy, rather than perky and firm, you may feel self-conscious when wearing fitted trousers or figure-hugging dresses or skirts. A Brazilian butt lift is designed to enhance the shape of the body and to make you feel more confident so that you can dress how you want and feel comfortable in your own skin.

Recently, there has also been a great deal of media attention on the Brazilian butt lift, and society has embraced and celebrated a curvier, more voluptuous physique. Influencers, celebrities, and singers who are renowned for their curves and shapely figures have inspired many people to embrace their natural shape or to consider making changes to achieve a fuller butt, such as a Brazilian butt lift surgery.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, demand for buttock augmentation has doubled in the US in the last 6 years. In 2019 alone, over 28,000 procedures were carried out by plastic surgeons in the US.

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost?

If you’re thinking about having a Brazilian butt lift surgery, it’s natural to have questions about the cost of the procedure. A Brazilian butt lift in Mexico is less expensive than treatment in the US or the UK, and the difference can be significant.

Why Are Plastic Surgery Prices So Much Lower in Mexico?

If you’re reading this guide, you may be wondering how it’s possible to achieve such sizable savings on your Brazilian butt lift cost by undergoing treatment in Mexico. There are several reasons why it’s cheaper to have a Brazilian butt lift in Mexico than in the US. These include:

  • Overhead costs and expenses: running costs are much lower in Mexico, which means that we are able to offer our clients exceptional plastic surgery treatments at affordable prices. From heating and air conditioning to equipment and property costs, fees are significantly lower in Mexico than in the US, meaning a cheaper Brazilian butt lift cost compared to the US.
  • Training and education: further education is also cheaper in Mexico than in the US, which also impacts your Brazilian butt lift cost.

Mexico isn’t just a vacation destination but a fast-growing medical tourism location that men and women travel to for effective, affordable Brazilian Buttlift (BBL) surgery.

What Are the Main Factors That Influence the Cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure?

If you’re interested in having a Brazilian butt lift in Mexico, we will invite you to attend a BBL surgery consultation or organize a virtual appointment. During your Brazilian butt lift consultation, your doctor will provide you with a written estimate.

This quote will be clearly broken down so that you understand how much you’re paying, what the estimate includes, and what you can expect to add to the bill if you choose to go ahead and have the Brazilian butt lift procedure.

In other countries, for example, the US, you’ll find that there is a substantial difference between quotes provided by different clinics, particularly if you’re considering traveling for the Brazilian butt lift. The main factors that will influence your Brazilian butt lift cost include:

  • The surgeon’s fees: in many cases, surgeons with more experience with Brazilian butt lifts and those who are renowned in their field will charge higher fees.
  • The location of the clinic: fees for cosmetic surgery can vary hugely depending on where you are in the world and whether you choose a facility that is based in a big city or an area where high-profile plastic surgeons tend to operate. London’s Harley Street and Beverley Hills in LA are good examples. If you have treatment here, you can expect fees to be higher.
  • The extent of pre and post-operative treatment required: some Brazilian butt lift clients may need more intensive or extensive pre or post-operative care than others, and this will be reflected in the price.
  • Recovery: some plastic surgery clinics offer facilities for aftercare and recovery, which will increase the cost.

At VIDA Wellness and Beauty, we will provide you with a personalized quote after your Brazilian butt lift surgery consultation.

Your board-certified plastic surgeon will go through the estimate on your butt augmentation surgery with you to ensure that you are completely comfortable with the fee before you make a decision, and can also provide you with other options such as butt implants or a larger package that includes other surgical procedure options, such as a tummy tuck or mommy makeover.

What Should I Ask When Getting a Quote for a Brazilian Butt Lift?

Cosmetic and plastic surgery have become very popular, and there is fierce competition to attract patients. Sadly, this can mean that individuals are lured in by Brazilian butt lift deals that are too good to be true or offers that fail to mention added charges and restrictions, and conditions.

When you research treatments and look at different clinics for your Brazilian butt lift, it’s critical to be aware of the costs involved and to ensure you choose a reputable, reliable plastic surgery facility, which boasts an excellent track record.

If you have a consultation for a Brazilian butt lift package, it’s always beneficial to have questions prepared so that you can make sure that you have all the information you need to make a decision. Good examples of questions related to the cost of a Brazilian butt lift surgery include:

  • How much will the BBL surgery procedure cost me?
