Mommy Makeover Cost Compared to Individual Procedures

How much could a mommy makeover end of costing, including hospital charges? What is the average cost for each separate procedure such as breast augmentation or tummy tuck? Is the mommy makeover cost really just a total of all the individual costs? What is the typical plan/cost for a 60 year old women with saggy breasts, bra line lift (back fat) and double chin who really isn't fat, just looks like skin is sagging in places that it didn't before?

Combination surgery has many advantages, but an experienced plastic surgeon is a must.

Many plastic surgeons perform each of these procedures individually of course. But if you need several things done, there is an obvious advantage in one-stop surgery. This has been loosely called a mommy makeover. Generally we combine a breast augmentation or lift or both with a tummy tuck and some degree of liposuction. This gets a lot done at one time. However, the surgeon needs to be efficient and knowledgeable. It is not worth combining procedures if,... more

Cost of Mommy Makeover Surgery

Thank you for your question. Yes, usually having multiple procedures performed at the same time is less expensive than have each procedure performed individually because of higher anesthesia and surgical center fees for the first hour or two each time you walk into the operating room. Each physician is different in how their fee schedule works so it is best to visit a couple of board certified plastic surgeons and get their recommendations. I agree that safety is ALWAYS top... more

Surgical costs

Certainly it would cost less to do all the procedures at one time than to break it up into multiple operations. Most surgeons discount the additional procedures performed at the same time. However you need to change your priorities as cost currently appears to be your highest priority. That is very dangerous. Safety should be your first priority followed by results and then cost. Do not cut corners such as having the surgery in a non-certified facility to save money. Your first questions... more

Mommy Makeover Costs

A so called mommy makeover usually consists of and abdominal procedure combined with breast surgery such as breast augmentation or breast lift. Convenience, cost and one recovery are the advantages of performing more than one procedure at the same time. The first hour of anesthesia and facility charges are the highest and then a flat hourly rate usually applies. By avoiding multiple start up charges fees are less. Additionally surgeons give a discount for doing multiple procedures.... more

Cost of combined procedures vs. separate procedures?

Multiple procedures at one operative setting are not only safe, but they are common in my practice, as they do save patients money. They also combine one recovery instead of several, keeping time off work, use of vacation or social time, and (minimal, but still present) risks to a minimum. Consider surgery by an ABPS-certified plastic surgeon who does enough cosmetic surgery to own their own accredited surgical facility, such as my partner and I do. Beware non-plastic surgeons who avoid... more
