You have embraced motherhood with open arms, but the rest of your body has not. If you have breast fed your little ones, you breasts may be deflated or sagging and your stomach, as much as you stick to your healthy diet and grueling 5 a.m. work outs, has not returned you to your pre-pregnancy form. You may even be embarrassed by your “new” body and less confident in your life. But what can you do? You may be a perfect candidate for a Mommy Makeover.

A Mommy Makeover is a grouping of breast and abdomen procedures custom-designed for your specific goals that, when performed by a body contouring surgeon who has extensive experience performing mommy makeover surgery, restores your body to a restored and more attractive, pre-pregnancy appearance. The goal is to address some of the common physical changes that can follow pregnancy such as a sagging stomach (excess skin with stretch marks and/or bulging) and breast sagging or deflation.

The number of women getting so-called Mommy Makeover procedures is on the rise, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Women had about 112,000 tummy tucks in 2010, up 85% since 2000; 90,000 breast lifts, up 70% since 2000; and 296,000 breast augmentations, up 39% since 2000.

“In the last decade we’ve seen women’s attitudes about cosmetic surgery change. Today women are not afraid to admit that they love their children, but they wish their bodies looked the way they did before their first pregnancies. And they’re not afraid to acknowledge that they may need a little help beyond a healthy diet and exercise,” says ASPS President Phillip Haeck, MD.

The overall cost of mommy makeover surgery varies by patient, depending on the complexity of the operation, which procedures are included and whether breast implants were used (and which type of implants were chosen, if applicable).

At Accurate Aesthetics, our price quotes are comprehensive and include the following costs: the plastic surgeon’s fee, the anesthesiologist’s fee and the operating room fee. Our price also includes one surgical garment, all before-and-after pictures and pre- and post-operative physician care.

When comparing the costs of different surgeons, be aware that some surgeons quote extremely low prices that only reflect their fee and do not include any of the other relevant surgical costs.
