The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a surgical procedure that allows you to enhance the contour of your buttocks. At Sculpture Clinic, we are experts in this type of surgery. That’s why we want to tell you about how much a BBL costs. Keep reading to learn more!
What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
The Brazilian Butt Lift is a fat transfer procedure that increases the size and improves the shape of your buttocks without the need for implants. Technically, it’s called gluteoplasty.
Fat is typically extracted from the hips, abdomen, lower back, or thighs. This fat is then processed and strategically injected into the buttocks.
This surgery can be part of a mommy makeover.
Benefits of BBL
The main benefit of a BBL is that you can improve the contour of your entire mid and lower body in a single surgery. You’ll lose fat from problem areas while enhancing the shape and firmness of your buttocks.
When performed successfully by a professional, the results will last for many years. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle allows the results to be sustained.
The key benefits of BBL are:
- Increases the size of your buttocks, giving you a more voluptuous and curvy silhouette.
- Improves the shape of your glutes, perfecting their contour and giving them a more lifted appearance.
- Enhances your body contour, improving the overall shape of your figure.
- Reduces fat accumulation in other areas of the body through liposuction.
- Can make cellulite on the buttocks less visible.
How Much Does a BBL Cost? Price Range
The price of a BBL in Madrid starts from €8,000, and may increase depending on your individual case. This includes the surgical fee, physician’s fees, and a brief hospitalization stay.
It’s important to note that the price we indicate is a starting point and can be higher depending on factors we’ll discuss later.
The best way to get an accurate quote is to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual case during your initial consultation and determine the total cost of the procedure.
Additional Costs to Consider
Preoperative tests and lab work before surgery increase the final cost. Likewise, postoperative medications and compression garments that you’ll need to wear should be added to your budget.
Also consider whether you’ll need help at home during the first few days after surgery and time off from work.
Factors That Affect BBL Price
The surgical technique, type of anesthesia, and the medical team’s fees influence the final price.
Surgeon’s Experience
The surgeon’s experience and reputation play an important role in the price of any surgical procedure.
The BBL became very popular, and many inexperienced clinics and surgeons led to it being viewed as a very dangerous surgery. While not without risks like any surgical procedure, it is completely safe when performed by specialized professionals with experience in this surgery who know the correct techniques for patient safety and optimal results.
Complexity of the Procedure
In general, the procedure is similar for all patients. A preoperative assessment will determine if you’re a good candidate based on weight and psychological factors. However, the surgical price can vary depending on the amount of fat to be extracted, processed, and reinjected.
BBL surgery typically takes 3 to 4 hours, depending on the number of areas and amount of fat to extract. This, in turn, can affect the price of your BBL.
Geographic Location
The location of the clinic usually affects the prices of any surgery. Major cities concentrate the most experienced surgeons, who typically charge more for their fees as they ensure better results and the most modern techniques, as at Sculpture Clinic.
In Madrid, prices are more affordable than in other European capitals, and surgeons are specialized in this type of procedure with proven results.
How to Choose the Right Surgeon?
The Brazilian butt lift is a complex surgery that requires a healthcare professional with experience in fat transfer techniques, with a well-developed eye for aesthetic details.
Not all aesthetic surgeons can perform a BBL, even if they specialize in aesthetic surgery. At Sculpture Clinic, we have professionals who are experts in this surgery and can perform the procedure while ensuring you get the best results.
Important Certifications
The surgeon should be a member of the Spanish Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (SECPRE). This demonstrates their certification to perform plastic surgeries.
Additionally, you can ask about their university studies, training, awards, and other details that will help you feel more confident in their experience.
Preliminary Consultations and Key Questions
When consulting with plastic surgeons for your BBL, ask about how many Brazilian buttock lift procedures they have performed before.
Before making your decision, ask them for before and after photos of the procedures on their patients. This will give you a better idea of their style and results achieved. Consult about the risks associated with this surgery and how they can be minimized.
Consider how you feel with the team and surgeon, and read online reviews from reliable sources.
Conclusion
The cost of a BBL can vary depending on different factors; you can ask at your chosen clinic if they offer financing plans or work with your insurance. What we do recommend is that before selecting the clinic and surgeon, you weigh value against quality.
Always compare prices and offers from different surgeons and clinics.
Let’s remember that the cost of a BBL should not be the only factor to consider when choosing a surgeon and aesthetic clinic. Choose an experienced, certified professional with proven results and with whom you feel comfortable and confident. Additionally, select a clinic that offers the best facilities for the procedure you wish to undergo.
