BBL Cost in Beverly Hills 2026: $25,500 (Ultrasound-Guided)

A Brazilian butt lift at Plastic Surgery Art and Science Institute, the Beverly Hills practice of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Sahar, is $25,500. According to the practice, every BBL there is ultrasound-guided.

What a BBL involves

A BBL (gluteal fat transfer) shapes the buttocks with your own fat instead of an implant. According to the practice, fat is harvested by liposuction from an area such as the abdomen, waistline, back or thighs, purified, and injected in layers through small incisions. Patients avoid sitting or lying directly on the buttocks for a few weeks while the transferred fat establishes a blood supply.

Why ultrasound guidance matters

The most serious BBL risk is fat entering the gluteal muscle and the large veins beneath it. Plastic surgery societies advise placing fat only in the layer above the muscle. According to Dr. Sahar's practice, he performs uBBL (ultrasound-guided BBL) for every patient so the cannula position can be seen during injection, and he has investigated the safety of gluteal augmentation methods himself.

BBL: what people ask

How much is a BBL in Beverly Hills?

Dr. Sahar's practice lists a BBL at $25,500 (October 2026). Liposuction to harvest the fat is part of the procedure itself. Ask whether a quote includes anesthesia, the facility and garments.

How much does a BBL cost in California?

It varies widely by surgeon, technique and setting. As a Beverly Hills reference point, Dr. Sahar's practice publishes $25,500 for an ultrasound-guided BBL. Be cautious of prices far below the market: safety technique and an accredited facility matter more for this operation than for most.

Is a BBL real or fake?

A BBL is a real surgical procedure, not an implant. The added volume is your own fat, moved from one area to the buttocks. Some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed in the first months; the fat that survives behaves like the rest of your body fat.

How long do BBL results last?

The fat that survives the transfer is long-lasting, but it changes with your weight. Significant weight loss or gain changes the result, so a stable weight keeps the shape.

What should I ask a surgeon before a BBL?

Ask where the fat will be placed and how the surgeon confirms it. Ask whether they use ultrasound guidance, whether they are certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery, whether the facility is accredited, and how many BBLs they perform.
