    Week 2

    Moving a little more

Procedures

What a mommy makeover can include

ASPS calls a mommy makeover a combination of procedures. These guides cover the body side.

Cost

One sourced figure, and what it leaves out

ASPS publishes no single mommy makeover fee, because every plan differs. This is one part of one.

Tummy tuck: surgeon’s fee only

$8,000 to $13,500

American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2024 national range

Prices are set by each office. Ask whether a consultation fee applies.

  • Surgeon’s feeSet by each surgeon, for each part of the plan.
  • AnesthesiaNot in the figure above; billed on top.
  • FacilityThe operating room or surgery center.
  • ExtrasTests, garments and prescription medicines.

Help at home

Line up the help before you pick a date

ASPS notes you may need help with childcare for a while. Plan these gaps first.

  1. Lifting. Someone else takes the baby, the car seat and the laundry.
  2. The first night. A driver home, and someone to stay if the office advises it.
  3. School runs. Rides until your surgeon clears you to drive.

The plan

What a mommy makeover usually means

ASPS lists the usual parts as a tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation or lift, and sometimes buttock augmentation, often in one stage.

Keep reading

ASPS looks for good health, a weight near your ideal and a family that is complete. Give it six months or more after a birth, it suggests, since another pregnancy can undo the work.

Choosing

How to choose a mommy makeover surgeon in Las Vegas

Ask which board granted the surgeon’s certification, and confirm American Board of Plastic Surgery certification on the ABPS search. ASPS members must operate in accredited, state-licensed or Medicare-certified facilities, so ask where yours would be.

Keep reading
  • How long would my plan take under anesthesia?
  • Would you combine everything or stage it?

ASPS says most surgeons keep combined surgery under six hours. Combining cuts anesthesia time and recovery, but a longer operation adds risk, including blood clots.

If implants are planned

Breast implants: what the FDA requires and describes

Every breast implant has carried an FDA boxed warning since October 2021, and before surgery you and the surgeon go through and sign the FDA’s patient decision checklist. In the FDA’s words, breast implants are not considered lifetime devices: complications and further surgery grow likelier over time.

Keep reading

It describes BIA-ALCL, a lymphoma that appears more often with textured implants, and cancers reported in the capsule around implants. Symptoms such as fatigue, memory loss, rash, brain fog and joint pain may be associated with breast implants and are being studied. See the FDA page on implant risks.

Questions

Questions people ask

How do I choose a mommy makeover surgeon in Las Vegas?

Confirm American Board of Plastic Surgery certification on the ABPS site, check the Nevada license, and ask where the surgery happens.

Who will I talk to?

An independent plastic surgery office in the valley. Mommy Makeover Las Vegas is a free referral service, not a clinic, and may receive compensation from participating providers.

How long is recovery?

ASPS puts full tummy tuck healing at two to three months. Your surgeon gives you your own timeline.

How long should I wait after having a baby?

Six months at least, by ASPS advice; a second ASPS article gives six months to a year.

What will a mommy makeover cost me in Las Vegas?

Prices are set by each office. For a tummy tuck alone, ASPS gives a 2024 national surgeon’s fee range of $8,000 to $13,500. See the cost guide.

Can it fix separated stomach muscles?

In most cases a tummy tuck repairs separated muscles. Cleveland Clinic says physical therapy comes first. See the tummy tuck guide.

General information, not medical advice. Only a licensed provider who examines you can say what suits you.

Before a consultation, you can look up a Nevada physician’s license on the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners licensee lookup.
