In their words

Stoker Plastic SurgeryMommy Makeover procedures are not limited to mothers and may also be appropriate for women seeking combined surgical correction after significant weight loss or natural age-related changes.
Steven Teitelbaum, MDOther procedures are also often part of a mommy makeover, as it is designed to address a number of areas at once, resulting in a single anesthesia period and recovery period.
Marina Plastic SurgeryA mommy makeover may need to be postponed, modified, or divided into stages when a health condition, nicotine use, unstable weight, extensive procedure list, or limited recovery support increases risk.
Los Angeles Plastic SurgeryMost Mommy Makeovers should not be performed until at least six months after giving birth.

Marina Plastic Surgery“Drainless” most often refers to the way the tummy tuck portion of a mommy makeover is closed. Progressive tension sutures attach the abdominal skin flap to the deeper tissue, reducing the open space where fluid can collect.
Los Angeles Plastic SurgeryRecovery from a multi-procedure Mommy Makeover is more involved than any single procedure. Most patients return to desk-based work within two to three weeks. Strenuous activity is restricted for approximately six to eight weeks.
FAQ

Mommy Makeover in Santa Monica: common questions

How much does Mommy Makeover cost in Santa Monica?

Mommy Makeover generally runs $15,000–$30,000 per procedure, and each Santa Monica clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in US dollars (USD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Santa Monica clinics for a personalized quote.

When will I see results from Mommy Makeover?

Initial results in 2–4 weeks, with full results developing over 3 months as collagen builds. Santa Monica providers typically schedule follow-ups to track progress.

How long do Mommy Makeover results last?

Results vary by patient, but most Santa Monica providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Mommy Makeover series.

What is actually included?

There is no fixed definition, which is why quotes vary so widely. Most commonly it means a tummy tuck plus either a breast lift, a breast augmentation, or both, frequently with liposuction of the flanks. Some patients add other procedures. Because the term is marketing rather than a defined operation, insist on an itemized quote listing exactly which procedures are included before comparing prices between surgeons.

How much does it cost?

Nationally, $15,000 to $30,000 depending on which procedures are combined, including surgeon, anesthesia, and facility. That is meaningfully less than staging the same operations separately, because anesthesia and facility time are paid once rather than two or three times. Ask what a revision would cost and whether the quote includes garments and follow-up visits.

Is combining procedures safe?

It can be, with the right patient and the right limits. The relevant factors are total operating time, your general health, and the surgeon's judgment about how much to do at once. Longer operations carry higher risk of blood clots and other complications, which is why many surgeons cap combined cases at around six hours and screen carefully. A surgeon who declines to combine everything you asked for is exercising judgment, not being unhelpful.

When should I have it?

After you have finished having children, and once your weight has been stable for several months. Most surgeons also want you at least six months past breastfeeding so breast tissue has settled to its final state. Having it before a future pregnancy generally means undoing the abdominal repair, so the financial logic favors waiting.

How bad is the recovery honestly?

Harder than any single procedure, and the part patients most consistently underestimate. Expect two weeks where you genuinely cannot lift your children, three to four weeks before returning to work, and eight weeks before full exercise. Arrange help before surgery rather than assuming you will manage. The patients who struggle most are those who tried to run a household in week one.
