What is a mommy makeover surgery?
A mommy makeover surgery typically includes a tummy tuck combined with breast augmentation.
The plastic surgery procedure can also entail liposuction, vaginal rejuvenation, or a breast lift.

Some choose to have dental work or a Brazilian butt lift done as well while undergoing the procedure.

How much does a mommy makeover cost?
A mommy makeover usually costs around $20,000 - although some plastic surgeons charge as much as $75,000 for the procedure.
The cost will vary depending on how many surgeries the patient wants besides the basic combination of a tummy tuck and breast augmentation.
Is it safe to get a mommy makeover?
Mommy makeover surgery has several major side effects, and it is not safe for all women.
A tummy tuck may leave fluid pooling under the skin of your abdomen and also risks scarring, infection, bleeding, blood clots, and reaction to anesthesia.

Your abdomen may feel slightly numb for the rest of your life, with no medical solution.
Breast augmentation also comes with several risks including infection, blood clots, changes in the nipple and breast sensation, implant position changes, and the risk of leakage or rupture.
You will also need to take time off work and avoid physical activity after undergoing surgery.
The other surgeries which can be included in a mommy makeover can also be risky.
Liposuction can damage your skin or deeper tissues, with many of the same dangers as a tummy tuck - as well as a possibility of major fluid loss or damage to nerves and vital organs.
Patients who undergo vaginal rejuvenation will not be able to have sex for several weeks after the surgery, with itching being a common complaint.
During the recovery period from mommy makeover surgery, patients should not drive or lift heavy objects - including their babies and toddlers.
Smokers, obese people, or people whose weight has fluctuated significantly are all more likely to have complications from mommy makeover surgery.

You should only ever choose an ASPS-certified plastic surgeon for even the most minor procedures - let alone one as invasive as a mommy makeover.
Do not risk your health by choosing an uncertified plastic surgeon offering a market-beating rate, as the savings they make will come at the expense of patient safety.
