A Mommy Makeover, is the umbrella term for a combination of procedures that may include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction. Its purpose is to reverse the unwanted effects of pregnancy on the body and restore its youthful vitality.
Of the many procedures a plastic surgeon offers, the mommy makeover is one of the more difficult ones to price. This is because of the variety of operations it involves and that one individual's body is different from another's. As we'll mention repeatedly, this is why it's important to consult with your surgeon. Your surgery can be very different from another person’s depending on your aesthetic goals, your anatomy, and your surgeon's expert guidance. As a result, the price can be very different across cases.
Here are additional factors to consider:
Surgeon's experience and accreditation. With a procedure--or, really, sets of procedures--as involved as those in the mommy makeover, you want to be sure that your surgeon is board-certified. Board-certified surgeons have passed through rigorous training and educational examination. Your safety and comfort should be your greatest concern. Board-certified surgeons have been shown to have fewer complications than those without certification. You should look for surgeons whose skill will minimize the time you spend under general anesthesia. Typically, board-certified surgeons may charge higher fees, but you should not be cutting costs on safety. Our surgeons at Avana Plastic Surgery are all board-certified, so you can expect that you will be receiving the best treatment and care in the business. Miami is one of the most important surgical capitals of the world. There are hundreds of plastic surgery options for you to choose from. This means that prices are usually lower than those found in other big metro areas like New York City and San Francisco.
The geographic location of your surgery. As mentioned above, the location of your surgery will impact the cost. This has to do with more arbitrary factors like local rent markets and so on. Getting a surgery in a large metro area could increase the price. Considering the difficulty of getting an average price for a mommy makeover, RealSelf calculates that the average national cost of the procedure is about $12,700. In New York City, the cost has been estimated to range from $8,000 to $35,000. In San Francisco, some clinics estimate that this cost can range from $5,000 to an eye-watering $50,000, with the majority of their clients falling in the $20,000 to $30,000 range. Our prices at Avana Plastic Surgery range from $6,000 to $12,000 and are thus far more affordable without any loss of quality. As mentioned above, Miami is one of the top surgical capitals of the world, and the number of options means this is one of the most affordable destinations.
The number of procedures involved in your makeover. Naturally, the cost of the makeover will vary with the number of procedures involved, each of which will have its levels of complexity. Again, the way to see the makeover is a set of individual procedures. Some women may need or prefer only a tummy and a small breast lift, and others will seek breast augmentation, liposuction, and tummy tuck. Anesthesia-related fees. A mommy makeover is an involved procedure and will require that you be put under general anesthesia. As a result, you will need to be overseen by a qualified anesthesiologist. Your final cost may feature anesthesiologist-related fees. In a similar vein, the complexity of your makeover and the involved procedures may increase the amount of time you spend under anesthesia, which may factor into the price. Avana Plastic Surgery prides itself on its qualified anesthesiologists and expert surgeons. Your comfort and safety are their primary concern.
What's In The Cost?
Being very clear about this from the beginning will help you avoid surprises later down the line. The best thing to do is to talk to your surgeon. Things to discuss are appointments, surgeons' and anesthesiologists' fees, and whether supplies like compression garments or bandages, if you need them, will be included in the final cost. Last, you should feel free to discuss cancellation policies as well as correction surgeries. Avana's surgeons in Miami are there to help you start your journey!
Will Insurance Cover My Makeover?
Insurance policies usually do not cover elective cosmetic procedures, and most of the procedures involved in the makeover are therefore not going to be covered by insurance. There are exceptions, such as hernia repair or when excess skin or fat produces a medical or mobility issue. However, most clinics offer financing plans or accept certain credit options. Consult our surgeons at Avana Plastic surgery to find out about our flexible financing plans and other financing options available to you. It's our goal at the Center to make your surgery as financially manageable as possible.
How Do I Start My Search For A Mommy Makeover Surgeon?
The best way to begin is by reaching out to surgeons in a consultation. You will get the most specific and personalized answers about your procedure this way. At a consultation, you will be able to check whether your surgeon is board-certified, their history and experience, as well as gauge their friendliness. You can be sure that the surgeons at Avana Plastic surgery will be there to provide you with excellent surgical care and attention.
