Henderson is its own city, not a neighborhood of Las Vegas. It sits to the south-east of Las Vegas and is the second most populous city in Nevada, with 317,610 people at the 2020 census. If you live in Green Valley, Anthem, Inspirada, Seven Hills or around Lake Las Vegas, the surgeons you are weighing may practice in Henderson itself or elsewhere in the valley. This guide covers the checks that matter wherever they are, and the practical questions a Henderson address raises.
A free referral service, Mommy Makeover Las Vegas is not a clinic: a request sent from this page reaches an independent plastic surgery office in the Las Vegas Valley, which sets its own prices and answers for its own care.
Start with what you want changed
A mommy makeover is a plan, not one operation. ASPS lists the possible parts as breast augmentation or lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, buttock augmentation and labiaplasty, usually done in a single stage. Before you compare surgeons, write down what bothers you most: loose skin, separated stomach muscles, fat that will not shift, or changes in the breasts. That list becomes the first part of every consultation, and it keeps quotes comparable.
Check the surgeon in two places
First, board certification. ASPS’s own list of patient questions opens by asking about American Board of Plastic Surgery certification. The ABPS certification search works by name, or by location within a radius of a ZIP code, so you can enter a Henderson ZIP and see certified surgeons nearby. ABPS notes that certification is a voluntary credential, which is exactly why it is worth checking rather than assuming.
Second, the state license. A physician needs a Nevada license to practice here. The Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners licensee lookup shows whether a physician holds one. ABPS itself points people to state medical boards for license status.
Some surgeons describe certification by other boards. ABMS has 24 member boards, and the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the one ASPS links to body and breast surgery. If a surgeon names a different board, ask which one and whether it is an ABMS member board, and judge the answer for yourself.
Ask where the surgery happens
ASPS members may only operate in surgical facilities that are accredited, state-licensed or Medicare-certified. Find out where your operation would be, whether that place is accredited, and whether the surgeon holds hospital privileges for the same operation. The answer may be in Henderson or elsewhere in the valley; what matters is the facility, not the ZIP code.
Questions for the consultation
These follow the questions ASPS suggests patients ask, adapted for a combined plan:
- Is your certification from the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
- Were you trained specifically in plastic surgery, and for how many years?
- Do you have hospital privileges for these procedures?
- Is the facility accredited?
- Am I a good candidate, and what would you change in my plan?
- Would you do everything in one operation or stage it?
- How much help at home will I need, and for how many weeks?
- How are complications handled, and who answers after hours?
Where implants are planned, the FDA requires the surgeon to review a patient decision checklist with you ahead of the operation, and you both sign it. Read the FDA page on breast implant risks first: it explains the boxed warning, that implants are not lifetime devices, BIA-ALCL (more common with textured implants), cancers reported in the capsule, and symptoms that may be associated with implants and are still being studied.
Timing, and who is usually asked to wait
The ASPS picture of a good candidate: healthy, close to ideal weight, done having children, and realistic. Its advice on timing is six months or more after a birth, with one of its articles saying six months to a year, and one article asks smokers to quit at least three weeks ahead. A later pregnancy can undo the result, so surgeons will ask about your plans.
Follow-up visits from Henderson
The first weeks bring follow-up visits, and you may not be cleared to drive yourself to the early ones. Find out how many visits there will be, on which days, and who is driving you. If the surgeon is on the far side of the valley, line up that driver as carefully as the help at home. The recovery planning article covers the household side: lifting limits, meals and school runs.
Cost, briefly
Offices across the valley set their own prices, and there is no single published fee for a mommy makeover. ASPS publishes national ranges for each part instead: the tummy tuck surgeon’s fee alone ran $8,000 to $13,500 in 2024, with anesthesia, the facility and other costs on top. The cost guide lists the ranges part by part and the questions that make quotes comparable.
Sending one request
If you would rather not call around, the request form reaches an independent plastic surgery office in the Las Vegas Valley, which replies. Put Henderson, or your ZIP code, in the area box and the office can tell you where its consultations and surgeries take place. This site is a referral service rather than a clinic, with no office in Henderson or anywhere else. More about the valley is on the areas page.
This site gives general information, not medical advice. A licensed provider decides with you whether a treatment suits you.
Before a consultation, you can look up a Nevada physician’s license on the Nevada State Board of Medical Examiners licensee lookup.
