A mommy makeover doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all price tag. Every mom’s body and goals are different, so the cost can vary widely.
In general, the price depends on which procedures you include and how extensive your makeover will be. To give a rough idea: a mommy makeover can cost anywhere from around $10,000 on the low end to $30,000 or more for an extensive transformation.
In Los Angeles (think Beverly Hills and the surrounding area), many patients find their personalized makeover falls roughly in the $15,000 to $30,000 range, depending on the combination of surgeries and other factors.
A basic makeover (for example, a tummy tuck plus a breast lift) might be toward the lower end of that spectrum, while a more comprehensive makeover addressing multiple areas could climb higher. Los Angeles is known for top-quality cosmetic surgery, and prices here tend to be a bit above the national average. That said, this investment covers multiple improvements in one package – and ultimately, your exact quote will be unique to you after a personal consultation.

WHAT IS A MOMMY MAKEOVER?
A mommy makeover is a customized set of cosmetic surgeries designed to restore your body after you’ve finished having children.
Rather than a single procedure, it’s a combination tailored to address the specific physical changes from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. A typical mommy makeover can include:
- Tummy tuck (to tighten loose abdominal skin and muscles),
- Breast enhancement (such as a lift or augmentation to rejuvenate deflated or sagging breasts), and
- Liposuction (to eliminate stubborn fat pockets).
Every woman’s needs are different, so your makeover might also include other procedures like a breast reduction or additional body contouring – whatever is needed to help you feel like yourself again.
The key is that all the chosen procedures are done in one coordinated surgery, with one recovery period, giving you a beautifully harmonious result tailored just for you.
BENEFITS OF A MOMMY MAKEOVER
A mommy makeover offers the chance to achieve multiple improvements at the same time, delivering head-to-toe rejuvenation. Key benefits include:
- Lifted, youthful breasts - Restoring volume and perkiness to your bust (and correcting any asymmetry) for a rejuvenated chest contour.
- Tighter tummy and skin - Removing or tightening loose, stretched skin on the abdomen and repairing separated abdominal muscles for a flatter, toned stomach.
- Fat reduction and contouring - Eliminating stubborn fat pockets (via liposuction) from areas like the belly, waist, or thighs to sculpt a more streamlined figure.
- Fewer stretch marks - By excising stretched skin and using advanced techniques, the procedure can reduce the appearance of stretch marks in treated areas.
- Overall pre-pregnancy look - Combining procedures to return your body closer to its pre-baby shape (or even improve upon it), which often leads to a big boost in confidence and self-image.
Many moms say the greatest benefit is finally feeling like themselves again – comfortable in their own skin, wearing clothes they love, and not worrying about the changes brought by pregnancy.
WHAT PROCEDURES CAN BE INCLUDED?
Every mommy makeover is unique. During your consultation, Dr. Jaime Schwartz MD FACS will help you choose the ideal mix of procedures for your goals. There’s no one-size-fits-all list. However, most mommy makeovers include a combination of these core procedures:
- Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) - Removes excess abdominal skin and fat while tightening stretched abdominal muscles, resulting in a flatter, firmer tummy and a defined waist.
- Breast Surgery - This could be a breast lift (to raise and firm sagging breasts and reposition the nipples), a breast augmentation (to restore lost volume or increase size with implants/fat transfer), a breast reduction (to reduce overly large post-baby breasts), or a tailored combination. The goal is to achieve youthful, symmetric breasts that complement your figure.
- Liposuction - Targeted liposuction is used to suction away stubborn fat pockets (for example, in the belly, flanks, or thighs) and sculpt your body’s contours. In some cases, the fat removed can be purified and transferred to enhance another area, for instance, adding volume to the buttocks in a Brazilian Butt Lift.
- Other enhancements - Depending on your needs, a mommy makeover can be further customized. Some moms opt for nipple/areola corrections (e.g. fixing inverted nipples or reducing enlarged nipples from breastfeeding) or include lifts for other areas (such as an arm lift or thigh lift). Dr. Schwartz will tailor your surgical plan to address all your specific concerns so you get the results you want.
By bundling procedures into one surgery, you save on overall downtime and cost (compared to doing them separately) and you get to see a dramatic transformation with a single recovery period.
MOMMY MAKEOVER COST FACTORS
Because a mommy makeover is highly personalized, costs can vary widely. Important factors that influence the price include:
- Procedures included – More procedures or areas treated will increase the cost (though combining them in one surgery is often more cost-effective than separate surgeries).
- Extent of surgery – The complexity and length of each procedure matter. A more extensive tummy tuck or multiple liposuction sites, for example, will take longer and cost more than a minor tweak.
- Facility & anesthesia – Mommy makeovers are done under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical center. Operating room and anesthesia fees are typically fixed costs that depend on the length of your surgery.
- Implants or special materials – If you choose breast implants or require special medical devices/techniques, those will add to the expense (for instance, silicone implants have their own cost).
- Post-surgery care – Items like compression garments, prescription medications, and any optional aftercare (such as an overnight recovery suite or nurse care) can contribute to the total.
- Surgeon’s expertise – Highly experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons may charge higher fees for their expertise. But remember, with cosmetic surgery, you get what you pay for. It’s worth investing in a reputable surgeon for safety and beautiful results.
- Geographic location – Where you have the procedure matters. Big-city areas with a higher cost of living (like Los Angeles) tend to have higher surgical fees than smaller towns, but again, Los Angeles is home to the most skilled plastic surgeons in the world.
At our Beverly Hills practice, we provide a transparent quote that breaks down all these factors. You’ll know exactly what is included (surgeon fee, facility fee, anesthesia, etc.) before you make any decisions. We also offer financing options and work with flexible payment plans (such as CareCredit) to help fit your mommy makeover into your budget.
