Should you get your BBL in Omaha or Miami? Omaha Liposuction

The Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL is a very popular cosmetic surgery pioneered in Rio de Janeiro that uses your own fat cells to produce a natural buttock augmentation. The procedure has soared in popularity thanks to household names such as Cardi B, Kylie Jenner and Nicki Minaj. It’s a great method for patients to achieve natural buttock enhancement through fat grafting. This procedure removes an amount of fat from other areas of the body (such as the stomach or arms) through a Liposculpting procedure. That fat is then transferred to the derriere to get a buttocks lift. The result is a more lifted, rounder and sculpted booty without the use of silicone butt implants (which require large incisions).

A new tourism niche called Medical Tourism has paved the way for popular destinations to become gateways for cosmetic procedures. The attraction these cities offer is generally “cheaper” procedures and beautiful surroundings. However, there’s no such thing as cheap liposuction — only unsafe techniques, shady practices or inexperienced providers.

Seoul, Istanbul, Bankok and Mexico City are some of the most traveled places for cosmetic medical tourism but one city that always takes the top of the leaderboard is Miami. Dubbed the Magic City, it’s known for beautiful beaches, stunning cityscapes and as the plastic surgery capital of the United States. It’s true that a significant number of plastic surgeons reside in Miami—providing a significant advantage in why many flock there to get their bodies transformed.

While your BBL proposal in Miami may look more competitive at first, many patients forget about the time and energy it takes to book flights for multiple post-op appointments, car rentals, hotel lodging, etc. which all add to the final cost. For patients in the Midwest and surrounding areas — Omaha, Nebraska has become a beacon of medical authority when it comes to body contouring.

Cosmetic Expertise

In Miami, there are approximately 18 doctors for every 100,000 residents. Sure, it’s great to have a lot of options when browsing for a right-match clinic, but the search can easily become overwhelming when you begin comparing all your choices.

Omaha Liposuction offers a comfortable, spa-like clinic with board-certified surgeons and the most advanced body sculpting equipment available such as Vaser, SmartLipo Laser and Renuvion — the same caliber technology as in Miami – to remove your excess fat and help you achieve your desired results. Imagen is the only clinic in Omaha that exclusively offers Renuvion, an advanced helium plasma and radiofrequency technology for enhanced, minimally invasive skin tightening used by celebrity surgeons. Your experience will include top-notch, bilingual customer service and a soothing atmosphere. Upon arrival, Imagen patients enjoy a discrete environment, complimentary beverages and helpful resources to support your decision-making process.

Before and After Lipo 360 + Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Initial consultations at Imagen are completely customized, and if you’re coming from out of town, a virtual consultation can be scheduled with one of our board-certified cosmetic surgeons. You will be provided with a luxurious robe to keep you comfortable throughout your exam during which you can ask as many questions as you’d like.

Following your exam, you will receive a personalized proposal breaking down the doctor’s recommendations to help you achieve your goals. Our clinic manager will walk you through the process of what to expect during your procedure as well as financing options and the process for scheduling your butt augmentation. Once you’ve chosen your date and made a deposit, we will assist you with any necessary preparation.

Saturation

There are two primary reasons why a BBL might be cheaper in Miami and they both have to do with saturation. There are countless clinics offering BBLs in the Greater Miami area. As it goes with supply and demand, when there are more providers and patients, the price has to be lower to compete. Cities like Miami have more providers and people are able to quote lower prices because they’re performing more surgery procedures per day. At Imagen, we dedicate the day to you so there is no pressure to complete your surgery in time to start the next. With one surgery on the schedule, we’re able to focus completely on your experience, safety and results!

Travel Expense

It’s important to figure out hotel, rental car and flight for multiple visits if you’re planning to have your BBL done in Miami. The travel expenses alone could make what was a cheaper BBL more expensive than what you’d spend getting your BBL in Omaha.

Let’s say you receive a BBL quote from a Miami clinic for $6,000 but you have to visit once for your consultation and once for your surgical procedure (during which time you’ll likely stay at least a week for your post-op appointment with your doctor), your two round-trip flights cost a total of $600, and you spend a modest $3,000 on hotel stay between your two visits; then, you’ve decided to skip the rental and use Uber instead, which adds up to $500 between transportation to and from the airport and clinic. Without factoring in food expenses, your new total is already more than $10,000.

If your main priority is visiting Miami for an all-out, no-budget vacation and getting a BBL (including recovering there) then maybe it could be the better option. However, if your main goal is to get the booty of your dreams from an experienced surgeon specialized in lipo and fat transfers, Imagen in Omaha can get you the results you’ve always wanted with the option to recover in the comfort of your home. For out-of-state patients or those who aren’t based in Omaha, we offer hotel arrangements at the nearby Marriott because we do not skimp on comfort!

Brazilian Butt Lift Cost

At Imagen, we don’t hide anything in your proposal. The BBL cost on your proposal is the price you pay. Other clinics often create a proposal for the surgery alone, and later add general anesthesia fees, operating room fees, equipment fees, and even post-op appointment fees. Below is a list of what is included in the average cost for your Brazilian Butt Lift procedure in Omaha at Imagen.

Your surgery (Surgeon’s Fees)
The materials used during your surgery
Anesthesia medication (there are no anesthesiologist fees added at Imagen!)

We want your BBL to be achievable in your budget. We have several financing options available, including interest free options, interest deferred CareCredit and some payment plans with longer terms.

Results

Because of our intentional location and size, Imagen can offer a personalized, boutique-style experience from start to end. This means everything from your consultation to your surgery is completely customized and catered to your medical history, body structure, skin condition and goals. Some make the mistake of believing that only big cities can do quality cosmetic surgery. What you should be focused on when choosing where to get your surgery is the education, experience and techniques used by the doctor, plus the clinic’s safety standards and history. Both Imagen doctors were trained at one of the top medical schools in the United States, Duke University. Dr. Frank Soto grew up in Colombia, a country known worldwide as a leading cosmetic surgery hub. In fact, Dr. Frank is one of a handful of U.S. surgeons who have been trained by the Colombian doctor who invented the 4D Hi-Def Liposuction technique. He also regularly trains surgeons from around the world in cutting-edge body-sculpting techniques

Post-Op Care

Last, but not least, post-op care is one of the most important factors to consider when deciding if you want to have your BBL done locally or out-of-town. Almost daily, we receive phone calls from patients who have had their BBL surgery done out of town (including Miami) and now have questions or post-op concerns including swelling and potential seromas. The luxury of getting your BBL in Omaha at Imagen is having direct access to your doctor at any point leading up-to or following your procedure. Imagen patients have five post-op appointments scheduled with the doctor following their BBL: one day, one week, one month, three months and six months. If you have any questions or concerns, we’re available to assist you over the phone or in person at the clinic.
