Your mommy makeover will be individualized to help you restore your pre-pregnancy shape. Most moms come to me with excess tummy skin and deflated breasts. Together we will decide the best approach to restore your body. Many times its a nutritional and exercise plan first, then a procedure to remove excess tummy skin (range $5000-10,000) and a breast lift (range $5000-8000.00) with or without breast implants ($6000.00-8000.000). Together we will decide based on your general health, support system to recover and your goals whether to combine procedures or stage them. The key is to make the step to come in and have an in depth consultation to better understand what is required to reach your goals. Good Luck!

You are describing what is often called a mommy makeover. Some women elect to have  post baby body concerns addressed in a single surgery, Others prefer to stage surgeries for various reasons. In many women, it reasonable to perform both breast lift and a tummy tuck in a single surgery. 

Pricing for this surgery will vary significantly, based on the extent of a tummy tuck, and also based on the training and expertise of a plastic surgeon.  The most expensive plastic surgeon may not always be the best, but  the lowest priced surgeon will almost certainly be cutting corners that could impact your safety and / or results.  
Look for lots of before and after photos of tummy tucks, breasts lifts and mommy makeovers. Be sure that the tummy ticks didn't leave women with unnatural looking belly buttons or scars around the belly button. 

Check the credentials of your plastic surgeon including membership of ASPS and ASAPS. Check for surgical suite accreditation and ask who will be in the OR with you when you have your surgery. If you like the many photos you see, you feel like your surgeon has received excellent training and you like the surgeons philosophy, schedule a consultation. You need to feel like your surgeon listens to you and understands your goals. You need to feel a connection with staff members and you should never feel pressured into scheduling surgery. Prior to scheduling surgery, you should be able to speak to previous patients who have had the same surgery.

The most expensive surgery is one that leaves you with poor result. akin your time searching a plastic surgeon who will be making a permanent change to your body.

I would say that depends on what type of breast lift and tummy tuck. The general public gives more thought to buying a computer than getting plastic surgery. When you buy a computer you pick the model and features/software then you shop around for the best price. You even do this online on your current computer. If it doesn't work out you can always just return the computer and get your money back in which case you end up where you started. If you apply that reasoning to plastic surgery you would choose a procedure on your own and then shop around for the price and pick the best price. That is the way we have been trained to be consumers in this culture. However, that way of approaching plastic surgery is a loaded weapon that can explode on you. Plastic surgery is a service not a product so if you do not like it or have a problem you cannot give it back and get your money back. You also cannot ever end up where you started. What is more if you have a problem it may not be reversible or may incur additional costs to fix.

The priorities should be safety, results and value (not price) in that specific order and not price as the first and foremost. The way to go about that is to present yourself to one or more plastic surgeons with specific complaint(s) such as sagging breasts with nipples at different levels, abdominal skin hanging over the belly button etc. Then find out what type of procedure(s) would best keeping in mind that there is more than 1 type of breast lift etc. and that 2 different surgeons may obtain similar results with different approaches. Then decide on a couple of safe surgeons, operating facilities and procedures and finally then compare prices between surgeons/procedures and the value of each i.e. what do you get for each dollar spent.

It is not unreasonable to see a physician before getting a price quote. No contractor would quote me a price for redoing my kitchen without seeing it and getting some idea of the work involved. Frequently more than a single surgical technique is available & the physician can only choose which would be best after a face to face examination. First the physician should talk to you. A physical examination follows & then a diagnosis of the problem followed by a plan of action. Then comes a cost quote. No one should want surgery from someone who mixes up this order.
 

The 'mommy makeover' represents a combined surgical approach to address many of the common anatomic changes associated with childbirth and breastfeeding. This typically involves some sort of body contouring procedure (e.g. liposuction, abdominoplasty) combined with some sort of breast enhancement procedure (e.g. breast lift or augmentation).

Because there are so many options, costs vary widely. For example, mild changes that only require liposuction of a few areas and an augmentation can be in the range of $7000-9000, but if you require a full abdominoplasty, liposuction, and breast lift with augmentation, the price can quickly get into the $15,000+ range.

For this and other reasons, I recommend obtaining and individualized quote from a plastic surgeon, as well as to gain more information about the procedure(s) involved, and whether or not you are a suitable candidate medically and aesthetically.

Often it is not the best approach to find the cheapest plastic surgeon. Does the surgeon specialize in this procedure? What are their credentials? How long have they been in practice? What percentage of their practice is cosmetic surgery? How many of these surgeries have they performed? Do they use the latest techniques? What do their results look like? Do they have photos to show of their work? Do they provide follow-up themselves, or will you only see the nurses (or even just an assistant)? Are they available by phone for an emergency or does one of their staff answer after-hour calls? What is the impression you get from their office and staff? Are they professional and informative? Do they know what they are talking about? You need to ask yourself all of these questions.

When comparing quotes from different doctors, check to make sure that the costs you are quoted are for the same thing! Check to see what type of anesthesia and facility you are going to be treated in. If the total price is lower but you are not going to receive proper anesthesia from a board certified anesthesiologist, then are you getting a better deal (or inferior treatment)? If the facility is not a certified outpatient surgery center but is an in-office procedure room, is the difference in safety worth the cost reduction? If the doctor is not a board certified plastic surgeon, is that worth the discount in the fees? I would say the answer to all three of these questions is no!

Assuming you are talking about a board certified plastic surgeon with plenty of experience in mommy makeover, you need to find someone who you trust. This is your body, make sure you are making decisions based on the quality of care, the experience and training of the doctor, and proven results! Cost alone should not be the deciding
factor.

The prices can vary from state to state, and from city to city. Our costs, including the board certified plastic surgeon's fees, board certified anesthesiologist's fees, operating room, labs, scar gel, vitamins, and follow-up at 1 day, 5 days, 7 days, 9 days, 14 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and every year after that forever, are around $15,000. If you need more follow-up appointments, those are free as well.

Breast Lift $8000-$9500 (depending on technique)
Tummy Tuck $6500-$9000 (depending on whether it's a mini, full or floating abdominoplasty, and if liposuction is also performed)

These ranges are what you'd find in Toronto, Ontario, where I am located. They may be quite different in your city. A combination of procedures may slightly reduce the costs of each, especially when two or more are performed at the same time.

For a better idea of pricing, please check out the websites of your preferred surgeon or call around in your city. Having said that however, it's always best to find a surgeon you are comfortable with and trust instead of picking one based on how much they charge.

This is an important question for most of us as the cost will frequently decide whether we can afford to proceed with a procedure.  A breast lift and tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is frequently called a mummy makeover.  It is difficult to give you a precise answer because it all depends upon what you need and want or what your goals are.  For instance, you may want a super flat stomach and opt for a full tummy tuck and you may not want the scars that come with a lift and opt for a breast augmentation instead.  I would say that the simplest procedure combination (a mini tummy tuck and a limited lift) is about $8000 (all your expenses are included in that price).  At the other end of that range is a breast augmentation and lift plus full tummy tuck and that can be $18,000. 


The best thing to do is to see a couple of surgeons, get educated as to what you are a candidate for, consider your goals and then make a decision. 


I hope that helps.


Best regards.

In considering the cost of a Tummy Tuck, you should look at the components of the cost:
1. Surgeons Fee. This is usually the greatest part of the overall cost and can vary immensly from location to location (just like the cost of living varies in each location) as well as in the same location, it can vary from surgeon to surgeon. Usually, a surgeon commanding a higher price is very experienced and has very good results reliably, and is very busy due to the above.
2. Anesthesia Fee. This can vary depending on if a board certified MD anesthesiologist is used, vs. a nurse anesthetist, vs. a non-certified nurse, vs. only local anesthesia (an awake procedure). Obviously, the further you go down the line, the cheaper the price. You do get what you pay for.
3. Facility Fee. This can vary if it is a a state/medicare certified facility, vs. the back of a doc's office.
4. Accessories. This includes things like a pain pump, Exparol injections (72 hour long lasting numbing), garments, tissue glues, etc. These are not necessary for a great result, just add to the comfort of a result.
5. Revision. Usually a revision such as dog ears or lowering the scar, or a seroma, is much less that the original surgery, but this depends entirely on what exactly is being done.
As with anything in life, buyer beware of risks of cutting corners in surgery.
Real Self has average costs of every operations in your location that you can peruse before seeing a surgeon, but keep in mind that the above quality can change from office to office. Choose a surgeon that you are very comfortable with and is board certified.

Costs for a tummy tuck and breast lift will certainly vary depending on your location. Things to factor in for the tummy tuck/breast standpoint will be the facility fee, anesthesia fee, surgeon fee, other fees (e.g., liposuction, surgical garment, etc.) A range in price ~$10000-18000 is not unreasonable. $12-14K would be a reasonable cost on average. A consultation with a plastic surgeon will help you in determining which procedure(s) would be the right one for you. Cost also depends on the complexity of your case and how much work would need to be done to achieve an aesthetically-pleasing tummy for you. Good luck!
