The first concern of a responsible surgeon will be to help the patient make an informed choice. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Kristi Hustak provides mommy makeover and several other procedures to patients in Houston, Texas and surrounding communities.
Variable Costs
The dollar amount of a mommy makeover plastic surgery will vary from one patient to another. Each woman’s anatomical and aesthetic needs are unique, and the surgeon will prepare a customized surgical plan to meet those needs. Therefore, some women may only require limited surgical correction in the breasts and abdomen, while some others may need more extensive procedures for the breasts, abdomen, hips, arms, face, and neck.
The costs will vary in each case depending on how long and complex the procedure is going to be. Some women may also require laser, ultrasound or injection based non-surgical treatments in conjunction with the surgeries. This can produce more comprehensive outcomes, but the cost may go up for each additional procedure.
Cost-Effectiveness
One of the advantages with a mommy makeover is that the overall procedure will turn out to be significantly more cost-effective than when multiple procedures are performed separately at different times. The costs of general anesthesia, surgical venue expenses, and surgeon’s fee will be incurred only once in case of a combined mommy makeover surgery.
The patient will also go through recovery only once, and pay for the post-operative expenses only once. Procedures can be performed more efficiently in a less invasive manner when multiple surgeries are planned together.
Cost Factors
The actual cost of a mommy makeover surgery will be influenced by a few important factors such as the geographical location of the practice, the fee charged by the plastic surgeon, the operating room expenses, and post-operative costs. Practices located in main metropolitan areas and prime urban centers may charge more because the average living costs in such areas are higher.
The surgeon may charge their fee in accordance with their skills, experience and recognition in the field of cosmetic surgery. The procedure may be performed at a hospital, an ambulatory surgical center or a private surgical suite. The costs and benefits in each case will vary.
