Based on your photos you apper to be a good candidate for a momy makeover (breast augmentation and tummy tuck).  As you stated, you can use the fat from the liposuction areas (lower abdomen, love handles, back,arms) and have this transferred to your buttock area. Perhaps if you gained 5-10 pounds prior to surgery you would have even more fat to donate to the buttock area which would give you a better outcome with regard to the buttock augmentation.

	This surgery could last from 5-7 hours and you may need to stay in a hospital or aftercare facility overnight for observation. You should also have medical clearance from your primary care physician prior to surgery.I recommend consulting with several board certified plastic surgeons who are experienced with these techniques-especially fat transfer. The total cost can range anywhere from12-18,000.

	Best wishes,

You are young, apparently healthy, and you are to be congratulated for keeping your body in such good shape through your multiple pregnancies.  The Mommy Makeover has multiple elements.  Your pictures would indicate you are a good candidate for a full tummy tuck with correction of rectus diastasis, a breast augmentation with dual plane mastopexy, liposuction of upper back, mid back, hips, and inner thighs.  This fat can then be transferred to your buttock region.  This fat transfer should add no more than 30 minutes to the surgery, allowing your plastic surgeon to complete your entire operation in 6-7 hours. 

	I would postpone suctioning the fat from your upper arms as this won't give you very much extra fat for grafting and would add an extra hour to the surgery due to multiple redraping and repositioning.  The cost in Hawaii for a Mommy Makeover with fat grafting to buttocks would be somewhere between $15,000 - $23,000.

Mommy Makeover prices vary greatly because the procedure  itself encompasses a wide range of techniques and separated procedures (tummy and breast most often) that can be performed to different extents. From your question you are focused it seems on one or two breast surgeries and not the tummy component. For the Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without breast Augmentation procedures by themselves, in Southern California most costs will be in the  range between 5-12 thousand dollars. My recommendation is to first find  a  board certified qualified plastic surgeon that is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. After finding a few you trust, then compare prices between them. Factors that influence the price include:1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office?2. Type of Anesthesia - IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an RN?     3. Experience and training of your surgeon. The best trained (and longest) would be a surgeon board  certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery    4. Length and Complexity of Surgery - how much  of a lift you will need will determine the lift type, if an implant - will it be silicone(more expensive or saline). If no implant will a fat transfer procedure be involved? How long will the surgery take?

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.

It is technically possible to transfer fat to your buttocks during a mommy makeover but your plastic surgeon will advise you of the advantages, disadvantages and costs associated with this procedure.  It would likely cost several thousand dollars in addition to the base price of a routine mommy makeover, which usually just involves surgery on the breasts and abdomen.

Richard J. Bruneteau, MD · Answer

The cost of a mommy
makeover varies from patient to patient depending on their specific needs.
Every patient is different; some may need surgery on their breasts, abdomen, or
hips and thighs. In some cases, all of these areas may require surgery. The
type of procedure may vary as well. For instance, one patient with redundant
abdominal tissue might require a full abdominoplasty while another might
require a mini abdominoplasty.

The fee quote should
include the surgeon’s fee, the facility fee, anesthesia charges, breast implant
costs and pre and post operative care. It’s also important to understand the
surgeon’s revisional surgery policy. In other words, if additional surgery is
necessary, who pays for it?

The mommy makeover
is a highly individualized procedure that addresses anatomic changes that
follow pregnancy; the procedure addresses changes in the breasts, abdomen and
areas of fat accumulation of the hips and thighs.

In the Midwestern
United States, the fees for a mommy makeover with anesthesia and facility fees
included typically range from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the exact
combination chosen. It’s very important for patients to have a thorough
understanding of these issues. Make sure all your questions are answered prior
to surgery.

Costs for the procedures you mentioned need to be determined on an individual basis, and you can usually get discounts for combining several things at once. Your requests are reasonable, but our office policy is to go over the costs with our patients in person. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, we offer complimentary consultations for all cosmetic procedures.

Bryan Correa, MD · Answer

This is a common request and can theoretically be done. The limiting factor is really the operative time as these cases can get longer and longer as more is done. I would setup a formal consultation so that your goals identified and an individualized plan be made.Good Luck!

First off, make sure you go to a board certified plastic surgeon for any plastic surgery. There are many cosmetic surgeons who may not be trained in plastic surgery who still can offer you surgery. Second, don't let price drive you to have surgery from a surgeon with whom you are not comfortable with. Third, you need to decide between breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction, mini-tummy tuck, full tummy tuck, and body lift procedures.In Columbus, Ohio where I practice, the total price (surgeon's fees, anesthesia fees and facility fees) for a mommy makeover can range between $6000 and $14000

Thank you for sharing your photos. You are a great candidate for a mommy makeover - breast surgery and tummy tuck, sometimes also with liposuction. It is possible to liposuction from additional areas and to transfer the fat to the buttocks. I would suggest having this done as a separate procedure - in order for the fat to survive you will not be able to lie on your back (in fact the best position is your stomach). It is difficult to recover from these procedures at the same time, because of positioning.
