How Much Is A Mommy Makeover?
What is a "Mommy Makeover?"

A mommy makeover is aimed at women of child bearing age and
focuses on the two body parts that are almost always
affected by pregnancy and aging, the breasts and abdomen.
Post-Baby Bodies is another term for the "Mommy Makeover."
It often includes a breast augmentation (with or without a
lift) and a tummy tuck.

The price of mommy makeover will vary due to several
factors including:

-The location of the cosmetic surgery clinic (city vs.
smaller town). -Where the surgery is performed (outpatient
vs. hospital). -The combination of which cosmetic surgeries
are being performed. -The surgeon's, nursing and anesthesia
fees.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons the
average cost of a mommy makeover averages between $12,000 -
14, 000 depending on the factors above. It is important
when you have a consultation with a Board-Certified
cosmetic surgeon that you know exactly what you are paying
for and what fee's are included in your quote.

There are many cosmetic surgery clinic's that offer
all-inclusive quotes, which means that there are no hidden
fee's and you pay only one fee for your surgery. Pain
medications to help control discomfort after surgery are
generally covered by insurance and not included in your
surgical quote.

Recent studies, by the American Board of Plastic Surgery,
have pointed out a high number of women and "moms" seeking
to reverse the impact of pregnancy and aging on their
bodies. Pregnancy affects each woman differently, with age
and genetics playing a role in how the body recovers or
ages.

With cosmetic surgery becoming a main stream phenomenon,
women no longer have to accept their deflated or sagging
breasts, and lose or stretched skin on their stomachs, from
having their children like the generations of women before.

We have found that the majority of women seeking cosmetic
surgery after pregnancy are in fact uncomfortable and
embarrassed with their bodies and just want to feel
"normal" again.

Twenty years ago, a woman did not think she could do
something about it, and she covered up with discreet
clothing. But now women don't have to go on feeling
self-conscious or resentful about their appearance. This is
because 20 years ago cosmetic surgery was only for the rich
and famous, considered vain and was not talked about.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons
(ASPS) doctors nationwide performed over 325,000 "mommy
makeover procedures" in 2006. This is up 11% from 2005.

The majority of women do not view cosmetic surgery as the
easy way out of exercising or going to the gym. In fact,
many women have already spent months in the gym with a
trainer before they even seek out the opinion of a board
certified cosmetic surgeon. There are some things going to
the gym just can't fix.

When it can be done safely, the "mommy makeover" of a post
baby body offers many advantages. There is only one
surgery, therefore one recovery period, which means less
down time at home or away from work!
