A Mommy Makeover is one of the most requested procedures in aesthetic plastic surgery — and also one of the most misunderstood.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast and body contouring, Dr. John Burns performs Mommy Makeovers daily. One of the first questions patients ask is simple:

“How much does a Mommy Makeover cost?”

The honest answer: there is no single price, because a Mommy Makeover is not a standardized procedure — it’s a custom surgical plan designed around your body, goals, and anatomy.

Understanding what goes into the cost starts with understanding what a Mommy Makeover actually includes and how plastic surgery is priced.

How Is a Mommy Makeover Priced?

Unlike retail services, aesthetic surgery pricing is built from multiple components. A Mommy Makeover is typically calculated using four core elements:

1. Surgeon’s Fee

This reflects the surgeon’s experience, specialization, and the complexity of your procedure. Factors that influence surgeon fees include:
• Years of experience and surgical volume
• Specialized expertise in Mommy Makeovers
• Case complexity and operative time

Highly experienced surgeons with established Mommy Makeover practices typically command higher fees — and consistently deliver safer, more refined results.

2. Surgery Center & Facility Fees

Mommy Makeovers are performed in fully accredited surgical facilities. These fees account for:
• Operating room time
• Surgical and nursing staff
• Monitoring equipment
• Recovery room care

All procedures at Dr. John Burns Plastic Surgery are performed at 9201 Park Plastic Surgery, an AAAASF-certified private surgery center meeting the highest national safety standards.

3. Anesthesia Fees

Most Mommy Makeovers require general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Anesthesia fees are typically based on:
• Length of surgery
• Type of anesthesia used

Longer, more comprehensive Mommy Makeovers require more anesthesia time, which affects total cost.

4. Surgical Supplies & Technology

Each patient’s plan may include specialized materials such as:
• Breast implants or fat transfer technology
• Advanced liposuction equipment (VASER®)
• Skin-tightening devices (Renuvion®)
• Compression garments and recovery supplies

Your choices and anatomy directly influence these costs.

Why Mommy Makeover Pricing Varies So Widely

Two Mommy Makeovers are never identical. Cost differences reflect:
• Surgeon expertise and reputation
• Geographic location
• Quality of facility and anesthesia care
• Surgical technology used
• Number of procedures combined

A Mommy Makeover is not a commodity — it’s a highly individualized surgical solution.

Mommy Makeovers address changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and childbirth. These changes typically affect the breasts and abdomen, with optional contouring elsewhere.

Breast Surgery Options

Pregnancy and breastfeeding often lead to volume loss, sagging, and stretched skin. Breast procedures may include:

Breast Augmentation
• Restores lost volume with implants
• Fat transfer breast augmentation for implant-free enhancement
• Ideal when skin quality is good and sagging is minimal

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
• Removes excess skin
• Repositions the nipple
• Reshapes the breast mound
• Can be combined with implants

Breast Reduction
• Reduces size and weight
• Lifts and reshapes heavy breasts
• Relieves neck, back, and shoulder discomfort

Body Contouring Procedures

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

The cornerstone of most Mommy Makeovers:
• Removes excess skin and fat
• Repairs muscle separation (diastasis recti)
• Flattens and strengthens the abdomen
• Enhances waist definition

Liposuction
For patients with good skin quality and minimal muscle separation, VASER® High-Definition Liposuction may be sufficient:
• Targets stubborn fat
• Enhances definition
• Promotes smoother skin tightening

Final Thoughts: Why a Consultation Matters

A Mommy Makeover cannot be accurately priced online or over the phone.
The process begins with:
• Identifying your priorities
• Evaluating anatomy and skin quality
• Designing a personalized surgical plan
