$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.

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,

Thank you for your question about Mommy Makeover.Realself provides data for the average cost of breast lift with implants, tummy tuck and liposuction in your area.To be sure, see two or more board-certified plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have surgery.I hope this helps.

You are basically asking about multiple procedures, which involve implants, therefore the price you were quoted seems to be fair if your surgeon is experienced. Expect to pay a little more or a little less depending on the skill of your surgeon. If you are unsure I would suggest consulting with at least one more plastic surgeon to get a second opinion.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno

The price is reasonable. However, keep in mind that  the most crucial factor is- finding the most experienced and qualified Surgeon to perform your Surgery.

Thanks for your inquiry and at face value it sounds like a typical, fair price quote.  You should get another quote from another surgeon's office if the area if you are concerned.  Good Luck.  

Hello and thank you for your question.  Cost of surgery varies by geographic region and surgeon expertise.  Far more important than cost alone is that you find the right surgeon.   It is very
important that you thoroughly research your surgeon before committing to
surgery. It is a good idea to research your surgeon's educational background,
online reviews, before & after pictures, and speak with anyone who you may
know who has had surgery with that surgeon. During your consultation, make sure
that you don't feel rushed and make sure that you have adequate time with your
surgeon and not just their patient coordinator or nurses. If the majority of
your consultation is spent with someone other than the surgeon, this is usually
not a good sign. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified expert surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

The cost for surgery varies widely depending on the area of the country, and realself has a great feature that gives an average cost for surgery in your area.  Additionally, you could call several offices in your area to get some price comparisons.  However, based on pricing in my area, I would say that seems very reasonable.  Also, keep in mind that you should pick your surgeon based more on your comfort level with him or her rather than going with the least expensive option...surgery is not comparable to buying a car.  Best of luck with your surgery!
