Buttock augmentation cost should be determined by the time required to perform the surgical procedure. To determine the total price of the buttock augmentation, it is critical to define the scope of the cosmetic procedure. The most important factors determining the average cost of your buttock enhancement include whether you will need fat transfer only, termed the Brazilian butt Lift, or you will also need buttock silicone implants. As we counsel our patients, we charge based on how long it will take to complete your buttock augmentation surgery. Interestingly, we do not charge for injecting fat into the buttock but rather for the time required to harvest the fat.-
Factors Affecting Brazilian Buttock Augmentation Cost
When it comes to Brazilian buttock augmentation cost, this is most affected by the 1 to 4 hours required to liposuction the fat and less by the 10 minutes required to inject the fat into the buttocks.
The number of areas requiring liposuction determines the 1 to 4 hours range, and they can include the following: arms, neck, lateral chest, abdomen, flanks, pubic region, upper back, middle back, lower back, flanks, lateral thighs, medial thighs, and knees.
In addition to Brazilian buttock augmentation cost, liposuction times are increased if body size is generous and if there has been a history of liposuction. Prior liposuction creates scar tissue that is harder to remove and fat cells that are not as viable as fat cells that are retrieved from areas previously not liposuctioned.
During your initial consultation at SurgiSculpt and part of determining the Brazilian buttock augmentation cost, you will have the opportunity to point out areas previously liposuctioned and areas not treated with liposuction so that we can ensure good viability of fat cells collected for the fat transfer. Remember that virgin areas of fat are harvested first and used to transfer fat preferentially. Areas previously liposuctioned are only treated if a revision of the body contour is required.
One of the advantages of our Brazilian Buttock lift protocols is that we use a closed-loop system for fat transfer, which has several advantages, including minimizing exposure to the environment which will reduce the risk of contamination and infection and minimizing operative times.
The operative time for fat injection, which normally takes one hour for an average 600 to 800cc fat transfer per buttock cheek, is reduced to 10 minutes! Moreover, we believe that minimizing out-of-body times for the fat cells also results in improved graft take, as observed by our Brazilian buttock augmentation lift patient outcomes.
Finally, buttock augmentation prices can be affected if buttock implants are desired to maximize central buttock projection. Butt implant surgery is in addition to the fat transfer and requires approximately 2 hours of additional operative time. As such, your Brazilian butt lift cost will be dramatically affected by patients requiring both modalities of butt augmentation surgery. Although the cost of butt implants is not affected by choice in volume, butt implants can be much more expensive than breast implants as they are considered specialty items.
