Question

I am looking into having a mommy makeover including a tummy tuck with lipo on my abdomen, back, arms and chin/neck area and also a breast augmentation with silicone implants. I know prices vary but I just want to see what you typical charge for a procedure involving all this. Thank you in advance.

You are a great  candidate for this procedure,an in person consultation with a board certified PS would be best for a much more detailed exam and evaluation and to discuss costs. Best of luck.

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

You are correct that fees vary between surgeons. There are a lot of variables with a mommy makeover. For my practice I would say the range is $15,000 to $20,000. Good luck.

Nay209.   Costs for Mommy Makeover vary from city to city.  The key factor is choosing a board certified plastic surgeon in your area for the safest and best result.  Good luck!

Dear Nay209,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Prices vary significantly from practice to practice. I suggest you contact a few select doctors who have impressed you with their before and after surgery photos. Good luck.

Pricing will vary by surgeon and region.  An exam and discussion of your surgical goals is needed to help prepare a proper quotation.  With the multiple procedures you mentioned you will probably have a surgical time of at least 6 hours.  Pricing will probably begin around $15,000-$20,000.

In addition to considering the cost of a Mommy Makeover package which includes the elements above titled, candidates must also consider keeping the operative time down to 6 hours, in order to limit the possibility of complications.  Accordingly, the addition of arm lipo might be reconsidered because of logistics (excess operative time), expen$e and impracticality of having adjacent painful zones (arms & breasts).  The cost of the surgical package will increase along with the length of the surgery.  For the basic, listed above, the average OC cost is $15-18K.

Pregnancy can take a toll on a women's body. In order to help reverse some of the effects of child bearing, many women choose to have a "mommy makeover". A mommy makeover can involve ANY of the areas affected by pregnancy:  most commonly a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast augmentation and/or lift (mastopexy).  Other commonly requested surgical procedures include liposuction surgery and/or genitalia surgery. 
Generally speaking, the “ideal” patient for mommy makeover surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, is capable of arranging enough recovery time, does not smoke and who has reached a long-term stable weight.
When it comes to costs of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure (quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider,  type of breast implants… are some of the potential variables involved.  You will find some average costs of surgery on this website and on individual plastic surgeons' websites as well.
In regards to outcome of the planned procedure, more important than costs of the procedures will be careful selection of your plastic surgeon. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to SEE lots of examples of their work AND preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
Be very careful with your decision-making. You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
 I would also suggest that you do not base your selection of plastic surgeon primarily on costs of surgery; keep in mind that revisionary surgery may be more costly in many ways.  Best wishes.

Thanks for the great question! Prices can vary a lot by geographical location. You're best bet is to google "mommy makeover prices _____" and put in where you live. Realself should come up first and will give you an estimate for your area. Based on your photos, you look like you're an excellent candidate for all the procedures you want done. I hope this helps!Best,~Dr. Sieber

Hello, it is very realistic for you to receive a Mommy Makeover that includes liposuction on the abdomen, chin and neck area, and breast implants, all can be done in one procedure. The reason I did not not include liposuction on your back and arms in the same operation is because you have to rest. In other words you have to go to sleep. A great deal of patients that come into my office are very surprised to learn how much sleep plays a significant part when recovering from an operation when trying to achieve optimal results! If you decide to get your back and arms done you will find it very difficult to recover from your procedure, and cause yourself unwanted stress. Call us here at MiKO and receive a complimentary consultation and to discuss cost. Tell our patient coordinator that RealSelf sent you! Lastly, you are very Welcome! Can't wait for you to experience the experience here at MiKO  -Dr. Obeng
