Buttock augmentation can be performed using only fat transfer, which is popularly known as Brazilian butt lift plastic surgery. The cost of this procedure may be relatively more affordable than butt implant surgery. Many patients consider this procedure as an investment in their enhanced appearance of the backside and improved self-confidence.
During the initial consultation, the plastic surgeon will discuss all aspects of the buttock augmentation procedure, including its estimated costs. MBody provides this surgery to patients in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg and surrounding communities.
Cost Factors
The cost of buttock augmentation plastic surgery can vary between two practices, and sometimes even between two patients at the same practice. The following factors will go into determining the overall monetary amount of the procedure:
Practice Location
The price tag of buttock augmentation can vary from one city to another due to the differences in regional economies. More cost conscious may even travel to another city if they find the cost of surgery more affordable in that area.
However, in ideal circumstances, the patient should look for a more qualified or board certified surgeon instead of prioritizing the costs.
Surgeon’s Expertise
The expertise and authority of the plastic surgeon who will perform buttock augmentation might influence the costs of procedure. Such surgeons invest in latest techniques, continuing education, and strive to provide the highest standards of care. They are more in demand, and could be hard-pressed for time.
Therefore, the surgeon’s fee may be relatively higher in such cases. It is usually worth the extra cost to receive the best quality treatment and personalized care from an experienced and board certified plastic surgeon.
Surgical Room and Anesthesia Costs
The type of anesthesia and sedation that a surgeon uses for buttock augmentation may vary from case to case. General anesthesia will involve additional fee of the anesthesiologist or a certified anesthetist nurse.
Buttock augmentation may be performed at a hospital, surgical center or a private surgical suite. The cost and benefits will differ in each case. MBody receives patients from Northern Virginia, Washington DC, Vienna, McLean, Loudoun, Ashburn, Tysons Corner, Reston, Arlington, Chevy Chase, Richmond, Fredricksburg and surrounding communities, and nearby areas.
Extent of Surgery
Some patients may require more extensive fat transfer in the buttocks, which could involve liposuction from multiple areas. Some other patients may want to combine buttock augmentation with additional procedures such as thigh lift or tummy tuck to achieve more comprehensive results. The costs will go up in such cases as compared to a situation where only limited fat transfer from one area to the buttocks is involved.
Insurance and Financing
Insurance coverage will usually not be applicable for buttock augmentation, except in a situation where sagging skin in the buttocks is causing medical problems such as skin infection. Financing through third party medical care finance companies is available to most patients with quick loan approvals, low interest rates and affordable monthly installments. The surgeon’s office may be able to assist with such financing payment plans.
