You're ready to invest in yourself with a total body transformation. Congratulations! Now, it's time to plan financially. When it comes to the cost of a mommy makeover, a few factors come into play. Knowing what may affect your cost and understanding the financial resources available to you is a great place to start your research.

Read on to learn more about mommy makeover pricing and how you can plan for the cost of your transformation.

What is the cost of a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover typically costs about $20,000 and upward. This price includes:

Surgeon's fee
Operating room fees
Anesthesia fees
Surgical garments worn during recovery
An overnight stay (usually required after any abdominal surgery for your safety and comfort)

Because each mommy makeover is customized, it's important for your plastic surgeon to consult with you personally before estimating a price. When you have a consultation, your surgeon will discuss your concerns and goals in depth as you work together to create a custom surgical plan. Your surgeon will then give you a personalized price estimate so you know exactly what to expect in terms of pricing.

What affects the cost of a mommy makeover?

The main factor that affects the price of a mommy makeover is which procedures are included. While each procedure is customized, most mommy makeovers address the stomach and breasts through two or more of these procedures:

The more procedures you include, the higher your price will be.

A quick note: While these procedures address many post-pregnancy concerns, you don't have to be a mommy to get a mommy makeover. Learn more in this blog post.

However, one important thing to keep in mind is that having multiple procedures done within the same surgery is typically more cost-effective than having them done separately because you'll only pay one set of operating room and anesthesia fees. That's not to mention the added downtime you'll eliminate by recovering from multiple procedures at the same time.

Will insurance cover a mommy makeover?

Because mommy makeovers are elective cosmetic procedures, they are not covered by insurance. However, many practices have options for financing your surgery. You can apply for these online in just minutes to make your transformation more attainable.
