$15000 for breast lift and augmentation, tummy tuck and lipo around the wast line , basically mommy makeover! Too expensive?

Cost factors vary
significantly for a number of good reasons: Prices vary greatly because the
surgery itself encompasses a wide range of techniques that can be performed to
different extents. My recommendation is to first find the most qualified surgeons where
you want the surgery performed that are board certified by the American
Board of Plastic Surgery you trust, then compare prices between them. See the
below link on suggestions on how to find the most qualified plastic surgeon for
your procedure. General Factors that influence the price of plastic surgery include:


1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital
with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctor’s
office? Geographical location also has a significant influence. RealSelf has average
charges for most areas of the USA.


2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or
General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist, nurse anesthetist,
or an RN be used?
3. Experience and
training of your surgeon. The best and longest trained is most often a plastic surgeon
board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery
4. Length and
Complexity of Surgery - how difficult will your surgery be and how long it
will take, etc. Will other complementary procedures also be also performed
during the same surgery?

In Toronto where my practice is located, that price sounds very reasonable. It is recommended that you select your surgeon based on factors such as experience and rapport rather than price alone.

Costs for a Mommy Makeover will vary by surgeon and region. Included in the price are the surgeon's fees, anesthesia costs, and facility charges. Each component can vary. For example it is often costs less to have your surgery performed in a surgery center versus a hospital. You must also take into consideration the skill and experience of your surgeon.

Thank you for your question.   The cost for a mommy makeover commonly ranges from $12,000 - $18,000, so it does appear you have received a reasonable price. Choose a board certified plastic surgeon based upon experience and the results he or she can deliver, not just on cost alone. Hope this helps and good luck with your procedure.

Hi Baruax,Thanks for your question. It seems fair and may be on the lower side of cost depending on who you ask. Or even on the high side depending on who does the surgery. The most expensive plastic surgery is bad surgery done by inexperienced surgeons. Please chose a surgeon based on credentials and EXPERIENCE. They will provide you more value based on your outcome and treatments recommended rather just on price alone. I find that most patients that pic a surgeon based on price end up spending more money with other surgeons to correct the issues. Of course you can find good surgeons with all kinds of prices, but just feel comfortable and safe with your decision! All
the best,
