Body Procedures
The Brazilian Butt Lift will cost an average of $4,096 and it consists of increasing the size of the buttocks by using fat extracted from other parts of the body, which will result in a significant change not only in the buttock area but also in the waist area, the abdomen and back, depending on the areas where liposuction was performed. This is one of the most innovative cosmetic procedures and one that has gained much popularity in recent years. This is in part due to the lasting changes it produces in the body, durability of transformation, and also because this alternative is less prone to infections, such as the ones caused by silicone implants or other complications that may arise when other substances are injected into the buttocks. The durability of your BBL depends on the technique employed and the surgeon's ability to treat the fat before it is injected, as well as the shape and place where the fat is injected. The results can last several years. The final shape of the buttocks is based on the patient’s goals, surgeon’s experience, and physical limitations of each patient since not all patients have enough fat available to achieve a larger posterior. Recovery may take approximately two weeks during which time the patient is required to avoid sitting on the buttocks.
A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, has an average cost of $5,500, and is mainly done to correct the abdominal area, whether a protruding abdomen, stretch marks caused by pregnancy, excessive weight loss or patients who perform liposuction to reduce the size of the abdomen and are left with excess skin in the area. A tummy tuck works two ways. At the muscular level to tighten the abdominal wall by repairing the separated muscles that stop the patient from achieving a flat stomach even after losing weight. At the level of the skin, it is responsible for stretching it, removing any excess skin thus helping eliminate the presence of stretch marks. It should be noted that this procedure usually requires recovery for at least two weeks and leaves a permanent scar that varies depending on the extent of your surgery, the surgeon’s skill and postoperative care required.
With an average cost of $3,374 in the United States, liposuction is the most commonly performed body procedure, since it is often performed in combination with other procedures such as abdominoplasty and buttocks augmentation. Many patients do liposuction before a tummy tuck.
