A statewide range built from Texas's two independently sourced metros, Dallas and Houston — not a single statewide study.
Reflects Texas's two major sourced metros: Dallas ($7,000–$13,500) and Houston ($8,000–$20,000). The $9,821 statewide average is RealSelf-sourced, alongside a $9,487 national average from the same source.
This is the standard fat-transfer BBL range. Skinny BBL, butt implants, and lipo 360 combinations are priced differently — see the main calculator for those variants at the national level.
A 2023 study found 92% of South Florida BBL deaths occurred at high-volume, budget-tier clinics — proximity and price are not safety signals for this specific procedure.

Texas is unusual among the states we track because it doesn't have one dominant, heavily-discounted BBL hub the way Florida has Miami. Instead, pricing is built from two genuinely separate metros, Dallas BBL cost running $7,000 to $13,500 and Houston running notably wider, $8,000 to $20,000, with advanced high-definition technique pushing past $20,000 at some Houston practices. That gap between the two cities is worth pausing on: it's not that Houston surgeons are overcharging, it's that Houston's market includes more premium, HD-technique providers at the top end than Dallas's does, which pulls the whole range wider.
The statewide average of $9,821, sourced via RealSelf and republished by a Dallas-based practice, lands close to the national midpoint rather than clearly above or below it, which makes Texas one of the more "typical" states in our dataset rather than a standout bargain or a premium market. If you're comparing a Texas quote against the national range of $6,500 to $16,000, you're generally looking at an apples-to-apples comparison rather than needing to adjust much for regional cost of living.
Outside Dallas and Houston, expect pricing in Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso to fall in a broadly similar range, though we don't yet have independently sourced figures specific to those metros. Wherever in Texas you're considering, the same safety criteria apply regardless of city: board certification, confirmed subcutaneous-only injection technique, intraoperative ultrasound guidance, and an accredited facility. See our safety page for the full sourced detail before you book anywhere in the state.
$7,000–$20,000 statewide, with a $9,821 average per RealSelf-sourced data. Reflects Texas's two major sourced metros: Dallas ($7,000–$13,500) and Houston ($8,000–$20,000). The $9,821 statewide average is RealSelf-sourced, alongside a $9,487 national average from the same source.
The national all-in range is $6,500–$16,000. Texas's $9,821 average sits close to the national midpoint — this isn't a clearly discounted state the way it is for some other cosmetic procedures.
Dallas runs $7,000–$13,500; Houston runs $8,000–$20,000. Houston's sourced range runs higher at the top end. See each city's own page for the full sourcing detail.
We don't have independently sourced figures for Austin or San Antonio specifically, so we can't confirm a firm number either way. Expect pricing in the same general Texas range, roughly $7,000 to $20,000, but get a market-specific quote rather than assuming either city undercuts Dallas or Houston.
Not currently. Florida remains the only state with a legal requirement for intraoperative ultrasound guidance during gluteal fat grafting. In Texas, that safety step is a professional best practice under the 2022 ASPS/ASAPS/ISAPS Practice Advisory rather than a state law, which means it's worth confirming directly with any surgeon rather than assuming it's required.
Texas doesn't carry the same reputation as a BBL destination market the way Miami does, though its major metros do draw some out-of-state patients for board-certified specialists and comparatively moderate pricing relative to coastal markets. It's more of a regional draw than a national one.
Texas's $7,000 to $20,000 range runs well above Mexico's $3,500 to $7,500, even accounting for Texas's proximity to the border. The price gap is real, but so is the difference in follow-up access; a Texas surgeon is a much shorter drive back for any post-op concern than a surgeon across the border.
Not particularly. The same national medical lenders, CareCredit, PatientFi, Alphaeon, work the same way regardless of which state you're in; availability depends on the individual practice's relationships with those lenders, not state-specific programs.
