If you’re considering a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) at WOW Cosmetic Surgery, one of your first questions is likely: How much will it cost? While every patient’s experience is unique, and the total investment varies based on several key factors, this guide will help you understand typical pricing, what the fee includes, and what you should budget for.

Whether you’re looking to add volume, correct flatness, or achieve a more lifted appearance, buttock augmentation can address a range of concerns. Flat buttocks, often due to genetics, weight loss, or body shape, are a common reason patients seek this procedure.

What Does the Cost Include?

At WOW Cosmetic Surgery, the quoted cost of a BBL covers more than just the fat transfer step. It includes: the surgeon’s professional fee, the cost of liposuction harvest (removal of fat from donor areas such as the abdomen, hips, flanks or thighs), fat purification and processing, careful placement of the injected fat into the buttocks, anesthesia (which may involve local anesthesia for minor fat transfers or general anesthesia for complete procedures), facility fees, and post-operative garments and care such as a special pillow and compression band. Because of this comprehensive scope, you’ll want to compare quotes carefully to ensure you’re comparing “apples to apples.”

How Much Does a Brazilian Butt Lift Cost, on Average?

National-level data provide a useful benchmark: for example, one guide reports that the U.S. average cost of a BBL (fat-grafting buttock augmentation) is about $8,686, with a range from $6,672 to $16,847 depending on location and complexity. Prices for BBLs can vary widely based on location, surgeon experience, and included services. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons lists the average price for buttock augmentation with fat grafting at around $7,264, noting this figure does not include auxiliary fees such as anesthesia or facility charges.

What Drives the Cost Up or Down?

Several factors influence where you will land in the cost spectrum:

  • Extent of liposuction: Liposuction targets fat pockets in the abdomen, hips, thighs, and the upper gluteal region, using a suction device to remove fat. The more fat that must be removed and purified, the higher the fee.
  • Complexity of fat-grafting: A large amount of fat transferred and the number of affected areas, including both donor and recipient sites, can increase costs. The volume transferred and the number of zones of the buttocks and lateral thighs addressed may increase costs.
  • Facility and anesthesia fees: Operating time, anesthesia type, and surgical facility fees vary by region.
  • Surgeon experience and credentialing: Choosing a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon (as WOW’s Dr. Prem Patel is) may reflect a premium in pricing. It is essential to select a provider experienced in plastic surgery and familiar with the anatomy of the buttocks and muscles for safety.
  • Geographic location: Cities with a higher cost of living or higher demand may charge more. National data show variations by state: e.g., Texas averages around $7,900, while some states are higher.
  • Add-on procedures: If you combine your BBL with other body contouring work (tummy tuck, arm lift, etc.), your cost will increase accordingly. Patients with sagging skin may require additional procedures.
  • Post-op care and garments: Though less visible, follow-up appointments, compression garments, special pillows, and lymphatic massage may add to the total investment. Pain relief is provided to manage post-surgical pain. Patients are advised to avoid prolonged sitting and may benefit from using a standing desk during recovery.

Financing Options and Budgeting

Since a BBL is considered a cosmetic procedure and typically not covered by health insurance, it will require out-of-pocket investment or financing. WOW Cosmetic Surgery offers financing through partners like Cherry and CareCredit®. When budgeting, keep in mind that BBL prices can vary depending on the services included in the package. Additionally, plan for: pre-operative labs, travel/accommodation if you are coming from out of town, garments/pillows, and potential missed work during recovery.

Why Choosing Value Over “Cheapest” Matters

While cost is essential, the final aesthetic and safety outcomes hinge on surgeon skill, facility accreditation, and the donation–transfer technique. Low quotes may not include all fees or may reflect less experienced providers. When comparing providers, keep in mind that lower costs may not include all necessary services, which can affect the overall value. In other words, your aesthetic investment should align with quality and safety.

Maintaining Results

Maintaining the results of your Brazilian Butt Lift requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Keeping your weight stable through a balanced diet and regular exercise is key, as significant weight fluctuations can impact the shape and longevity of your results. Avoiding smoking and other harmful habits will also help preserve your new contours and promote optimal healing. While the cost of a Brazilian Butt Lift can vary, typically ranging from $2,000 to $10,000 or more depending on the surgeon, location, and complexity, the long-lasting results make it a worthwhile investment for many patients seeking to enhance their buttock shape and size. By following your surgeon’s advice and maintaining healthy habits, you can enjoy your new look for years to come.
