A cheap mommy makeover isn't a good thing

A mommy makeover can be a dangerous operation in the wrong hands. You won't find a cheap "really good" plastic surgeon who will do this. Possibly a plastic surgery training program can do this but make absolutely sure the professor is present for the surgery, not just the trainee.

School plastic surgery

There are great eductaional programs in the greater houston area that are much cheaper if you go to the schools. It is obviously not a board certified plastic surgeon doing your surgery and for the most part, as an educational case you'll be a learning experience for a young surgeon. Your expectations must be realistic in those settings.

Cost for mommy makeover

It is best to consult with several reputable surgeons and then decide on the surgeon whose results, experience and credentials appear best to you. If you shop purely by price, you are likely to be disappointed. Budget doctors will often cut corners, shave time off in surgery, perform surgery in unsafe facilities, not have the proper insurances and policies in place, are understaffed, are poorly trained, etc etc etc. It costs a reputable doctor money to do things right... more

Mommy Makeover Surgery Pricing

Thank you for your question. You may be able to find some teaching hospitals with residents that would like to perform the "mommy makeover" procedure and your cost may be lower when performing it at these locations. Best Wishes!

Mommy makeover at plastic surgery teaching clinic.

Hi. Call the nearest university hospital. Residents and fellows do the surgery under supervision, and it is safe.

Finding prices for cosmetic surgery

Interview with several plastic surgeons for ballpark prices. You can also check out the local university teaching hospital for rates that are usually very good.

Mommy makeover costs

If you can't afford the surgery, I suggest that you save up to have it done. But, if you want to go to a teaching program where a resident in training will perform the surgery under the supervision of an attending, then you should look around at local programs in your area.

Mommy Makeover Costs

You are correct that the plastic surgery training programs offer discounted rates on plastic surgery procedures. You may also be a candidate for healthcare financing, where your mommy makeover can be financed similar to a car or home over a course of 5 years. Patient's may also consider staging their mommy makeover by completing the tummy tuck first, followed by the breast surgery at a 2nd stage. I wish you a safe and happy result!! more

Lower cost options for mommy makeover

IF you are seeking a lower cost alternative, you may want to schedule an appointment with the plastic surgery residency training program where the surgery can be performed at substantially lower prices.

Costs for Mommy Makeovers

Although cost is an important consideration, it should NOT be the number one concern when choosing your plastic surgeon. Unlike other "purchases" which you can return, surgery is an important decision. Safety and quality of your experience and outcome and the comfort level you have with your surgeon and team should be the most important factors to consider. Now I understand everyone has budgets. Either plan ahead or perhaps break down your mommy... more

University Surgery Programs

You may find lower pricing at training institutions, and the quality of the work really depends on the supervising surgeon. You will have your followup done by doctors who rotate every few months, so you have to be willing to go with that.

A good mommy make over is not cheap

A "really good plastic surgeon" is not going to be cheap. Even the most talented surgeon must gain their skill through experience; years of it. We all started in training programs and many people choose to pay less for a less experienced surgeon. All plastic surgeons owe a great debt to those people. Most of the time an experienced surgeon is in the room and guiding the newbie, but not always. You have the right to insist on this. more
