How much will a breast reduction/lift & tummy tuck cost?

Thank you for your question. I believe it is best to be within 10 pounds of your ideal body weight prior to surgery for optimal results. I would consult with your primary care physician to develop a safe and effective weight loss plan prior to proceeding with plastic surgery. Also, make sure you are finished having children prior to having a mommy makeover as pregnancy will adversely effect your results. Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person examination who specializes in body contouring. Ask to see before and after pictures of their work. Hope this helps.

Costs are going to vary. First, see if your insurance company covers breast reduction surgery and if so, what criteria would you need to meet. Second, find the board certified plastic surgeons in your area whose breast and tummy work you like and call the offices for a quote. My best,

Thank you for your question.  You should absolutely reach your goal weight prior to undergoing this procedure.  To determine what you can realistically expect from surgery as well as what it would cost, please be seen in person by a board-certified plastic surgeon.  Attached is a link for you to see what others in the Realself community have paid for their procedures.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Expect to pay $12,000-$15,000 for a mommy makeover depending on certain variables. This is not a weight reduction combination of operations but many patients can lose substantial weight after these procedures. Ideally you would lose the weight prior to the elective body contouring surgery but this is not always possible.

I appreciate your question.

Price varies from geographic location, surgeon expertise, OR time, Anesthesia, Length of procedure etc.  I would recommend that you go to The American Society of Plastic Surgery website and look for a list of board certified plastic surgeons in your area.  You can call their offices in advance and ask for quotes prior to scheduling your 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 varies a great deal by the demand for the surgeon.  The operation should be tailored to your specifications and anatomy to produce a dramatic result. Seek out a plastic surgeon who has performed these combination procedures hundreds of times and has a great number of reviews and before and after pictures.Kenneth Hughes, MDBeverly Hills, CA

It is important to understand that the procedures you are considering are not intended for weight loss. You may only lose 5-8 lbs total. If you are wanting to lose weight I encourage you to first complete that goal and then consider plastic surgery to help reshape your figure after all your hard work. We offer a program at my practice to help patients who are wanting to lose weight.

You will get the best answer
to your question by scheduling an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon
certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and discuss your unique
situation and concerns. The surgeon would meet with you, examine you,
physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full
medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative procedure
in person and what to realistically expect. Then you can make an informed
decision on which procedure(s) to start with according to your desires,
recovery time necessary, your history and current health. Surgery is very
rewarding for our "Mommy Makeover" and all our patients.



The cost of a Tummy Tuck
varies from practice and location but the cost of not going to a licensed
Facility and Surgeon just to save money can end up costing much more in the
long run. Most important is to pick a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon -
Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It can be hard and
confusing for consumers when a physician may tell you they are Board Certified.
Make sure it is Board Certified in Plastic Surgery as many Physicians are
certified but it is in another area such as Dermatology, Gynecology, ENT, or
some other specialty that does not have the years of training and Certification
in Plastic Surgery required to be a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Rather than finding a non-certified surgeon that
may give you better pricing it can be helpful to find a newer Board Certified
Plastic Surgeon that has years of experience in training and surgery-required
to become Board Certified in Plastic Surgery but is newer in practice. They
have the latest up to date training and highest standards as currently set by
the newest technology and are able to pass on to the consumer much better
pricing. Newer highly trained Board Certified Plastic Surgeons often
assist patients with special pricing to make sure the patients are getting the
expertise and experience rather than cut corners. Check for special pricing
here on RealSelf and make sure the surgeon is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
and you may find the perfect Plastic Surgeon for you who is able to work with
your budget without cutting corners!

You need to loose the weight first. The results of surgery would be much better when you are at your ideal body weight

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… 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.
