Cost of Brazilian Butt Lift
One of my favorite advertising campaigns was by Tiffany’s. They featured beautiful jewelry and also noted the price. It made me realize that Tiffany had items that even I could afford.
I have always been curious about plastic surgery costs as well. Haven’t you? To bring you more knowledge about plastic surgery costs, I am working with Jonathan Kaplan, MD, a board certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco to share costs of various cosmetic procedures. The first procedure I will highlight is the Brazilian Butt Lift.

What is a Brazilian Butt Lift?
A familiar name for a buttock enhancement or a butt lift is Brazilian Butt Lift. This buttock enhancing originated in Brazil, thus the name. According to a recent study, Brazil is second only to the US in terms of cosmetic procedures. In a recent article by Jonathan Kaplan, MD, a board certified plastic surgeon in San Francisco, he indicates:
It’s not clear if the Brazilian butt lift referred to a specific technique in Brazil, similar to how it’s not clear if the butt lift was meant to be a specific technique here in the US.
According to Dr. Kaplan, the Brazilian Butt Lift can be divided into 2 categories – a lift or enlargement. When it comes to a lift, these patients are unhappy with excess skin that has a significant sag. For patients concerned about a deflated buttock, enlargement is appropriate, usually accomplished implants or injections.
Before and After Pictures of Brazilian Butt Lift Procedures
Are you interested to see Before and After pictures of the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure? In his article “The Brazilian Butt Lift — to lift or inflate?”, Dr. Kaplan provides detailed pictures of what can be accomplished. I think it’s best to view the pictures on his site as I don’t usually feature exposed buttocks on my site.
Important Brazilian Butt Lift Procedure Considerations
While there is nothing wrong with having an idea of what your cosmetic procedure may cost, always remember to keep this in mind:
- Price should not be your main consideration when choosing a surgeon for your cosmetic procedure
- Your plastic surgeon should be a board certified plastic surgeon. They will evaluate your buttock shape and discuss the best technique for you.
- You need to confirm you are a candidate for surgery
- Consider all risks before proceeding
- Make sure your procedure is done in an accredited facility, not a hotel room, beauty shop or party setting

Plastic surgery is expensive. I think if people want to do it for them and can afford it ok, but you can do too much. Thanks for highlighting things to think about. Price is just one of the things that need to be considered.
I may need this after I lose weight after this hip surgery. I thank you for the low down on costs.
I would consider this if I ever won the lottery..Heck at 51 I would get lots of stuff done! lol
bleh. mega bleh. Not for me in this lifetime.
To each his own, of course, but I can’t imagine doing this. If I’m going to undergo the risks of surgery, I’m going to do something more constructive like fix my knees so they function better and no longer cause me pain every day!
I’ve had a “Brazilian butt” for my whole adult life. I spent most of my life trying to get a “flat butt” .A few years ago I went on an extreme died and lost my butt and loved it. I can’t understand why someone would pay for a big fat butt.
dumb a** procedure – just live with what you got and perhaps do a few lunges to build up your muscles!
This is definitely not a procedure for me personally.
Great information hear. I have never heard of a Brazilian Butt Life before. Thank you!
Very interesting information. I’ve never really known much about Brazilian Butt Lift procedure before.
No matter if it’s fat injections or what surgery is high period and it seems higher to get something done cosmetically!
What a unique blog topic, lol. This is great information. Thanks for posting!
This sounds kind of painful! I’m learning to love myself the way God made me 🙂
