How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in Arizona?

Posted January 30, 2025 in Mommy Makeover

This blog will discuss the following fees that are included during your Mommy Makeover: surgeon’s fee, surgical facility fee, anesthesia fee, medications, post-surgery garments, medical tests, and the cost of each chosen procedure (breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction, etc.). We’ll also discuss if insurance coverage is an option.

What Factors Into the Cost of a Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is a customized combination of surgeries designed to help restore your pre-pregnancy body. Because each surgery targets different areas, such as your breasts or tummy, the total cost is divided into several components.

• Surgical Fees: This is your surgeon’s professional fee. The amount depends on several factors, including your geographic location, the specific procedure(s) you choose, and, most of all, your surgeon’s expertise and reputation in the field. This is the amount that can vary the most per procedure, but the old adage of ‘you get what you pay for’ generally rings true.  
• Anesthesia Fees: These can include the services of the anesthesiologist and the medications required to keep you comfortable during surgery. The cost depends on the type of anesthesia needed. General anesthesia is used for more extensive surgeries, whereas local anesthesia is usually sufficient and more cost-effective for minor procedures. Because a Mommy Makeover is a more extensive surgery, general anesthesia is generally recommended.
• Facility Fees: The total cost of your surgery depends on where you have it. Hospital operating rooms generally charge higher facility fees than private surgical centers, though both provide high levels of care and safety. These fees cover the operating room, recovery area, and support staff needed during your procedure, such as nurses, scrub techs, and other personnel.
• Medical Materials: This includes essential items like blood work and cardiac testing to ensure you’re healthy for surgery, prescription medications for pain management and infection prevention, and specialized compression garments that reduce swelling and support your new contours during healing.
• Implants and Mesh: Some procedures, such as breast augmentation with implants or mesh, for implant support, will have separate fees for these medical devices used.

Big-picture economic factors, such as supply and demand and price trends, also influence the cost of aesthetic surgeries.

What Procedures Can I Choose for My Mommy Makeover?

A Mommy Makeover is all about customizing your results to address the specific changes you’ve experienced. You don’t have to include every procedure—it’s entirely up to you and depends on your goals and priorities. This flexibility helps with budgeting since the cost depends on the specific procedures you choose.

1. Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation seeks to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. Silicone or saline implants to restore fullness lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. If your breasts feel smaller, uneven, or less full than before, this procedure could be a good option for you. Costs typically include anesthesia, implants, and surgical fees, though additional expenses like imaging or lab tests may also affect the total price. Costs can range from $3,000–$11,000 depending on the many factors above.

2. Breast Lift

A breast lift helps bring back a firmer, more youthful shape to your breasts, especially if they’ve started to sag due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or aging. If you’re satisfied with your current breast size but want them to look perky and lifted, a breast lift could be the right choice. Costs will depend on factors like the type of surgery and any additional procedures, as well as anesthesia and facility fees. Costs can range from $5,000–$15,000.

3. Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck addresses loose skin, stubborn fat, and weakened abdominal muscles for a stronger core and flat stomach. If aging, pregnancy, or weight loss has left you with sagging skin or a bulging belly, this procedure might be right for you. Costs vary based on the surgical approach, facility, and anesthesia fees. Costs can range from $4,000–$18,000.

4. Liposuction

Liposuction is a procedure that targets stubborn fat to help you achieve a more contoured silhouette. The cost is based on factors like the size and number of treatment areas, the technique used (e.g., tumescent or laser-assisted), and the type of anesthesia. Costs can range from $3,300–$6,000 for one area, with decreasing costs for additional areas.

Will Insurance Cover My Mommy Makeover?

Yes and no. Certain components of a Mommy Makeover may be covered by health insurance in very rare cases—such as a breast reduction if it is medically necessary. However, most insurance providers classify these procedures as elective surgeries, meaning they are non-urgent and scheduled in advance. Because of this, they are often not covered. Sometimes procedures may be ‘authorized’ by an insurance carrier, then not reimbursed. For this reason, many surgeons will require payment upfront with some reimbursement, based on what and if the insurance carrier reimburses.
