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

Who in their right mind would waste money on this ??? You just need to exercise.
I can think of so many better ways to spend money. Sorry, not for me.
I think if someone wants to do this I have no say , but if I don’t think its worth it.
@tisonlyme143
This seems like a waste of money to me. But I suppose if it makes someone feel better about themself, it might be justified.
to me this is crazy,there is workouts u can do to lift ur bootie.my husband always says guyd dont look at a girl who has had plastic surgury and think she is hot.they think its stupid and they looked better without it.and he never understands why women do it.
I would never pay good money for something like this. I am surprised to learn that people do.
I’ll be blunt. Other than to repair damage from birth defect, accident, or medical treatment, I have no use for cosmetic surgery. I have no interest in it for myself, and I find it distasteful in others, except as where otherwise specified.
I guess this is for some people, but not for me. The costs are high and I just don’t see putting myself through something like this. I will just keep my flat butt and live with it. LOL
love to get one of this looks nice
That is sure a lot of money but I guess people will pay it. I would never do something like that myself.
Plastic surgery is such an interesting topic. We all go no we wouldn’t but we are all curious. If we had the money, would we really I wonder. This isn’t something that interests me, but I don’t know if my daughter would go for it on not. She can’t find pants to fit because she has no but or hips. The cost though…ouch and wow! It does make you wonder about the cost of other procedures, too.
I will continue to grow old gracefully. I’m 51 and I don’t need to look 25. I like my age. No need to blow that kind of money, at least not for me. =)
I am so glad you didn’t show the Buttlock Before and after on your sight!! Lol! I really don’t have much to say on this topic because I feel there are other ways to fix your (problem) besides plastic surgery. I can see someone having plastic surgery in some cases. Accidents, Birth defects & Disfigurements! I have never heard of a Brazilian Butt Lift!!
Not for me! I can think of at least 100 better ways to spend my money (what little I have).
I will be letting my cousin know this information. I thank you for the review.
Thankfully that is one area where I am not lacking! I spend all my money on teeth!
Very interesting! I knew cosmetic surgery was really expensive, but it’s cool to actually see a price!
No thanks lol I could probably donate some of my own butt 😉
I think the price is outrageous but maybe it’s because I am not interested in this procedure. I’m a big baby though and would rather not go under the knife for anything unless really needed for my health.
That has to be very painful. Why not be satisfied with what you were born with.
