The right-wing politician landed in Miami, according to Brazilian newspaper O Globo, and was received by his brother Eduardo upon his arrival.
Bolsonaro (AFP) Flávio was defeated by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who won a historic fourth term as president after securing 51.75% of the vote, according to Brazil's electoral court.
Bolsonaro secured 48.25% of the votes.
Flávio, who is facing multiple criminal investigations in Brazil, had on Tuesday missed a court-imposed deadline to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports.
The 45-year-old senator, who is the son of jailed former president Jair Bolsonaro, was ordered to surrender his passports to Federal Police by Tuesday but failed to do so, Bloomberg reported citing a police official familiar with the matter.
Reports had earlier suggested that the Donald Trump-led administration planned to issue visas to Flávio, allowing him to enter the US along with his family.
