Price for Mommy Makeover in the U.S.? (photo)

I was wondering if I can find a price as good as the Dominican price quote ($5,900) for abdominoplasty, implants, breast lift, and lipo to sides of abdomen and back in the United States without compromising quality of work. I have done a LOT of research on surgeons as well and am NOT making a decision on price alone. However, I am looking into what I can afford though. Can anyone point me in the right direction? TIA

Price for Mommy Makeover in the U.S.?

It looks like you are a good candidate for the procedures which you are considering. In my community your quoted price would just about cover the implants and the costs of anesthesia and the operating room. Unless you are able to find a surgeon willing to do your surgery without a fee while incurring $7000 or so of overhead, you won't find a better price. Your fee in the DR will include no post-op care, unless you are willing to fly down. Insurers and medicare usually estimate that that... more

Extreme Mommy Makeover

I perform this procedure on a regular basis, and, as such, I usually perform tummy tuck, liposuction of flanks and back, breast augmentation and full breast lift in under 4 hours. I can assure you that this is about as fast as this can be done. The amount you were quoted would barely cover costs of OR and anesthesiologist. However, there is a huge variation on the surgeon's fee. Please find the board certified plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials... more

Mommy makeover price

Hello, Thank you for the question and the photos. As you can imagine the price of plastic surgery is more in the US as compared to Dominican Republic. The price in the US will vary from region to region and from surgeon to surgeon but I would prepare yourself to pay in the 15-20K range for the combination of breast augmentation, breast lift, and abdominoplasty. Liposuction of the flanks is often included with the abdominoplasty but this of course can vary among plastic... more

Price for mommy makeover

Hi Chrissymom1981, thanks for the post. This is a common question and concern. Medical tourism has become big business with patients willing to travel overseas for surgery. This is not buying a car, a watch or jewelry. You don't want to make decisions about your health over the money. There is no question that the money is a sensitive topic. We all understand that. I try to offer our patients a reasonable and fair price for surgery. However, one reason costs are higher here is... more

Price for Mommy Makeover in the U.S

Hi Chrissy, Judging from your photos, it looks like you would be an ideal candidate for a mommy makeover. The term "mommy makeover" can include so many different types of procedures, you will want to be sure when you are comparing prices that you are actually getting the same procedures. Sometimes a mommy makeover will include a mini, modified or full abdominioplasty with or without liposuction. At times it may include breast augmentation, mastopexy (breast lift) or even breast... more

A good outcome after mommy makeover is a function of the skill of the surgeon that the price of the operation.

Although I agree with the slogan "you get what you pay for", in the end is the skill of the surgeon not price the operation. I cannot speak to the quality of care that she will get in the Dominican Republic. The price quoted is an exceptional that probably could never be matched in United States by a legitimate surgeon operating in an accredited facility. Do your due diligence.
