Benchmark, not a quote: the operating room and anesthesia lines are 2026 Medicare rates for the same codes; private prices for cosmetic work are set by each practice and are often higher. No public file prices the surgeon's fee: it counts only once you enter the figure from your own quote.

The operating room and anesthesia of a Brazilian butt lift in Miami come to a benchmark of $3,213 in a surgery center in 2026, close to the national $3,251, and a tummy tuck to $3,070. The two local factors pull in opposite directions. The FY 2026 wage index of the Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall area before floor and reclassification, used for surgery centers, is 0.9488, below the national level of 1, so the room costs a little less than at national rates. The anesthesia conversion factor of the Miami locality, $22.69, is one of the highest in the country, so anesthesia costs more. Hospitals receive a higher final index, 1.0369, shared by every Florida metro priced here. The surgeon's fee is not included: it is the part of a Miami quote that no public file can check, so the calculator adds it only from your quote.

Miami and Fort Lauderdale

The two counties are neighbors but separate for Medicare. Miami-Dade has its own anesthesia locality with a factor of $22.69, Broward its own at $21.63; their surgery center indexes are 0.9488 and 0.9284. The room and anesthesia of a BBL come to $3,213 in Miami and $3,166 in Fort Lauderdale: the public factors move the bill by $47. Any larger gap between quotes in the two cities comes from the surgeons and the facilities themselves.

Patients who travel to Miami for surgery should add travel, lodging and the days spent near the surgeon after the operation, priced on the recovery page. Whether and when it is safe to travel home is a question for the surgeon.

What readers ask about this bill

How much does a BBL cost in Miami?

About $3,213 for the operating room and anesthesia in a surgery center in 2026: anesthesia at the Miami locality factor of $22.69 and the room for liposuction and fat grafting at Medicare's rate adjusted to Miami. The surgeon's fee comes on top. A package price follows its own logic; ask what it includes.

Why is anesthesia expensive in Miami?

Medicare's 2026 anesthesia conversion factor for the Miami locality is $22.69, against $20.50 nationally, so each anesthesia unit costs more. The room goes the other way, because the surgery center wage index of the area is below 1. Private anesthesia groups set their own rates.

Is cosmetic surgery cheaper in Fort Lauderdale than in Miami?

At the public rates used here, slightly: a BBL benchmark is $3,166 in Fort Lauderdale and $3,213 in Miami, mostly because Broward's anesthesia factor is lower. The surgeon's fee, which no public file measures and the benchmark leaves out, can matter more than that difference.

These figures are benchmarks: public Medicare rates for the operating room and anesthesia of the same codes; the surgeon's fee, which no public file publishes, counts only from your own quote. A practice sets its own prices, often above Medicare rates, and only a surgeon who has examined you can say what you need. The site describes bills, never whether a procedure suits you, and earns nothing from any surgeon, clinic, drug maker or lender.
