Cost of Mommy makeover in Sacramento California?

Question

How much is a mommy make over in Sacramento California. A tummy tuck, lipo, and breast lift with implants. Also would it be wise to pay half directly and finance the rest through care credit?

Kenneth Bermudez, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for your question. Mommy makeover is a colloquial term that encompasses a wide variety of procedures. It usually involves some type of abdominal contouring (abdominoplasty, liposuction, rectus diastasis repair, hernia repair, etc) and breast contouring (augmentation, lift, nipple corrections, etc.).Depending on the location, experience of the surgeon and how many procedures, the price can vary.In general, for an abdominoplasty expect to pay 5-6K, and for breast lift, another 5-6K for the lift/augmentation. These are estimates and do not include anesthesia and OR fees.Most practices will have financing options available for you. The most important advice I can give you is to choose your surgeon based on experience, board certification and practice focus (aesthetic vs. reconstructive). Do your homework and don't base your decision on price.Hope this helps.

The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair.  The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.

The costs of a #Mommy Makeover will depend on several factors. Such include the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. Approximate #costs can be found here on the Real Self website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org. Also, the costs are contingent on the specific #procedures being combined in the operation. Such will be discussed in greater length during your one-on-one consultation. Also, such #combined operations are often performed with our Gynecology colleagues. Tubal ligation is a common post pregnancy procedure which is done at the time of many of the surgeries included with Mommy Makeovers. Therefore, if you require a gynecologic operation or study (laparoscopy) and are considering a plastic surgery procedure, discuss these issues with your doctor. Combining these procedures decreases anesthetics, costs, and recovery time.

Your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Some of this will depend upon areas of liposuction and the type of implants and type of breast lift.  The cost may be $15,000 or more.  Please do not select your surgeon based upon price.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

Prices vary depending on surgeon experience and skill, more than geographic area. You should expect to pay somewhere between 11-15,000 (total) for a tummy tuck with liposuction and a breast augmentation with lift. You can certainly finance a portion of the procedure as most surgeons use financing companies, such as CareCredit.Consult with a few different plastic surgeons before making your decision.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

I appreciate your question.

Cost varies by geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, Anesthesia, length of procedure etc.  I would recommend you go to The American Society of Plastic Surgery website and look for board certified plastic surgeons in your area.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling consultations.

The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

The cost of a mommy makeover depends on which procedures are done, whether in a hospital or outpatient center, experience of the doctor and  geographic location. #mommymakeover#mommymakeovercost

Thank you for your question.  Because the costs of surgery revolve around three major fee centers - surgeon, anesthesia, and facility - that vary based on the part of the country, best to seek consultations with a few doctors to have the best idea on price for Sacramento.  As far as payment goes, this will depend on your ability to pay, with full payment directly always preferable and advisable.  See ASPS board certified surgeons in your area for in-person discussions.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

Costs of surgery can vary by surgeon and will be dependent on your procedures.  For example how many areas you have liposuction, saline implants versus silicone, etc.  I offer a price quote tool on my website to help patients get an idea how much surgery will cost.  Many surgeons take financing through companies such as CareCredit so it is definitely possible to pay half up front and finance the rest if that is your preference.

Tom J. Pousti, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question. 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 listed 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.
