Price for Mommy Makeover, Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, Liposculpture and Brazilian Butt Lift

I agree with the other estimates that this would cost at least $20,000 the Cleveland area.

I'm not sure that it is advisable though, to do all that surgery at one sitting and the results are probably better if they are done separately, or split up, with more attention to detail.

I have taken care of patients who have had surgery done in South America. I have been impressed that they have extensive surgery done, but I have not been impressed with the quality of the work. Very often closure is done with Staples rather than sutures. There is often skin necrosis. In such extensive operations there is inevitably the need to cut corners.

You will also need to find a local surgeon to follow you up afterwards. You may find that your local plastic surgeons are not going to be so happy to see you when you went overseas to have the initial surgery.

A 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.  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.

The combination of breast lift,
abdominoplasty and liposuction is referred to as a Mommy Makeover.Brazilian Butt Lift surgery can be performed
in combination with a Mommy Makeover but this is unusual for a variety of
reasons.In some cases, the length of
the procedure may be too long while, in other cases, there may be difficulty
with post-operative positioning.Despite
these issues, these procedures are still sometimes performed in combination.The
cost of Mommy Makeover surgery performed in combination with Brazilian Butt
Lift surgery varies significantly and is dependent upon a multitude of
variables.It’s important to understand
these variables and how they contribute to any fee quote you may receive.For instance, does the fee quote include the
surgeon’s fee, facility fee and anesthetic charges or just the surgeon’s fee?In the
Midwestern United States, the fees for Brazilian Butt Lift in combination with Mommy
Makeover surgery with anesthesia and facility fees included, typically ranges
between $12,000 and $16,000.It’s very
important for patients to have a thorough understanding of these issues.Make sure all your questions are answered
before proceeding with surgery.

Your cost we'll vary based on the experience of your surgeon, the location of his practice as well as the medical facility which is performed. That being said, Beware of the risks and downsides of medical tourism(traveling abroad to undergo elective surgery) !Medical tourism has becoming increasingly popular in recent years; patients have been flying out of the U.S. for plastic surgery, lured by lower prices.However, a parallel trend has also appeared: plastic surgeons in the United States are finding themselves treating an increasing number of patients who plastic surgery abroad, correcting complications and errors. A survey by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that 80% of the responding doctors had treated American medical tourists for complications including infection, contour abnormalities, and hematoma.Medical tourists are often led to believe that they will receive the same quality of care for a lower price in a foreign clinic. But while it is true that the cost of plastic surgery in some foreign countries is lower, this is often because the quality of care and surgery is compromised. Such patients also seem to neglect the possibility of complications and the need for a follow-up visit.In addition to the risks posed by sub-standard medical care abroad, medical tourists must consider the risks of injections and implants in other countries. The recent crisis with French breast implant maker Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) exemplifies this problem. PIP used industrial- rather than medical-grade silicone on their implants in an effort to reduce costs, a measure which probably increased the danger of rupture. PIP implants have not been used in the United States since 2000. Removal of these implants has been recommended by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.It is often the case that medical tourists end up spending more money because they have to pay to treat complications from their surgery.

I think you would find that the cost for all of the procedures you listed would be substantially more expensive in the USA or Canada.  I would be concerned about doing that much surgery on a patient in a single day.  That issue aside, many of the costs of surgery are related to safety, such as the training and credentials of every health professional taking care of you before, during and after your operation, the maintenance and inspection of the surgical facility, quality of materials used during your operation, etc. Price is of course an important consideration but when comparing prices one needs to make sure they are comparing procedures of equal quality and safety.  In my country, any plastic surgeon doing an operation in a facility other than a hospital must undergo a rigorous inspection process, that assesses the surgeon's expertise and the standards of the facility. If you are considering surgery abroad I'd recommend investigating thoroughly before making a choice on price alone.

The price of your surgery might be more in the US, but consider the cost of travel, hotels, and other expenses associated with traveling for plastic surgery.  Also, remember that minor revisions are not uncommon.  You don't want to have to travel back to Rio just for touch ups.

A pretty full Mommy Makeover, including lipo, breast lift, tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift usually runs $18,000 - $25,000 in Hawaii.  A savings of $4,000 - $10,000 is nothing to sneeze at, but if the surgery needs to be redone or if complications develop, a second flight to Brazil and the price of a second surgery in Brazil is also nothing to sneeze at. 

Some of the plastic surgeons in Brazil are some of the best plastic surgeons in the world.  Some are not.  In the United States, to include Hawaii, are most of the best Board Certified cosmetic plastic surgeons in the world.  Traveling outside of the United States for cosmetic surgery seems, to me, equivalent to looking outside of New Orleans for the best jambalaya. 

The combination of procedures that you are interested in (most of the Mommy Makeover plus BBL) are often done in my surgery center, but of course require an overnight stay.  Philadelphia is replete with excellent plastic surgeons, and as W. C. Fields said on his tombstone, "I'd rather be in Philadelphia".

It's difficult to give you the exact costs without actually seeing you first.  This is because there are certain procedures that may not require much to accomplish your aesthetic goals.  For example, a Brazilian Butt Lift includes liposuction of pretty much the entire body to get enough fat for the buttock augmentation.  Further, when you combine procedures many practices offer discounts.  Therefore, interview with several plastic surgeons to get an idea of the costs.

Another part of your question involves travel for cosmetic surgery.  When patients go out of the country for cosmetic surgery, complications may occur back in the states and then what do you do?  Going to a local plastic surgeon to handle someone else's complications can get very costly.  However, if you choose a plastic surgeon close to home, many complications can be handled in the office at no extra charge to you.  Please take this into consideration when you're deciding on where to have your cosmetic surgery performed.

First,  I would not recommend going to another country for cosmetic surgery.  I can not tell how many patients have called my office to be seen because of a complication that they can not get the original surgeon to take care of or the patient just can afford to return back to the country that the surgery was performed.  Secondly, it is NOT wise at all to have all the procedures you mentioned done at once!    IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED!  The are many surgeons in Philadelphia and the surrounding states that could perform any of the surgeries you mentioned. Cost vary from region to region and surgeon to surgeon.  You will have call or seek a private consultation to determine individual fees.

I would serioulsy consider the risks of doing all of these together and possible advise you to arrive at least two weeks prior and stay for at least 2 weeks afterwards to minimize the risk of lower leg clotting. This proceudre would easily run in the 20K range for total fees.
