How much does a mommy makeover cost in Beverly Hills?

A mommy makeover in Beverly Hills typically costs $18,000 to $40,000 all-in, depending on which procedures are combined. The most common combination — breast augmentation or lift with abdominoplasty — typically runs $22,000 to $32,000 with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Adding liposuction of the flanks or thighs adds $4,000 to $8,000. The all-in cost includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, surgical facility, compression garments, and post-operative visits.

What procedures are included in a mommy makeover?

A mommy makeover is not a defined procedure — it refers to combining multiple body contouring procedures in a single surgical session to address changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding. The most common combinations include: breast augmentation or breast lift (or augmentation with lift), abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) to address abdominal muscle separation and excess skin, and liposuction of the flanks, hips, or thighs. Some patients add labiaplasty or other procedures. The specific combination depends on your anatomy and goals, determined during a consultation.

How long is mommy makeover recovery?

Most mommy makeover patients return to light desk work in 2 to 3 weeks. Driving requires 2 to 3 weeks. Heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are restricted for 6 weeks. Caring for young children requires planning — you will not be able to lift children over 10 pounds for the first 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients feel presentable socially by week 3 to 4, though residual swelling continues to resolve for 3 to 6 months. The recovery is longer than individual procedures because combining surgeries increases the overall healing burden.

When is the right time to have a mommy makeover in Beverly Hills?

The right time is when you are at or near your stable goal weight, done having children, and have finished breastfeeding for at least 3 to 6 months. Significant weight fluctuations or a future pregnancy after a mommy makeover will compromise the results. Most surgeons recommend being within 10 to 15 pounds of your goal weight. Age is less of a factor than health and lifestyle stability. Patients range from their late twenties to late forties. The key prerequisites are stable weight, no plans for additional pregnancies, and at least 3 to 4 weeks available for recovery.

Is it safe to combine multiple procedures in one surgery?

Combining procedures is safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with full anesthesia support at an accredited surgical facility, within reasonable time constraints. Most plastic surgeons limit combined mommy makeovers to 6 to 8 hours of operative time. Beyond that threshold, risks of complications (DVT, fluid shifts, prolonged anesthesia effects) increase meaningfully. When a patient's procedure list would exceed safe operative time limits, the surgeon may recommend staging the procedures across two sessions. This is a patient safety decision, not a limitation of the surgeon's skill.

Mommy Makeover in Beverly Hills (2026): Cost, Procedures & What to Expect

A mommy makeover is not a single defined procedure. It's a customized combination of surgeries designed to address the physical changes that pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding produce — performed together in one operative session to reduce overall recovery time and cost compared to staging each procedure separately.

In Beverly Hills, mommy makeovers are one of the most consistently requested procedure combinations, and also one of the most variable in terms of what's included and what the total investment looks like. This guide covers the most common combinations, what drives the cost, realistic recovery expectations, and what to look for when choosing a surgeon.

What a Mommy Makeover Typically Includes

Pregnancy produces changes across multiple areas: the breasts (volume loss, ptosis, nipple position changes after breastfeeding), the abdomen (muscle separation called diastasis recti, excess skin, stretch marks), and the flanks and hips (fat redistribution that often doesn't respond to diet and exercise). A mommy makeover addresses some or all of these in one session.

Breast Procedures

The breast component depends on what changed during pregnancy and breastfeeding and what the patient wants to restore. The three most common approaches:

Breast augmentation — for patients who lost volume and want restoration with implants or fat transfer (Forever Breast® technique)
Breast lift (mastopexy) — for patients who have adequate volume but significant ptosis (sagging) from skin laxity
Augmentation with lift — the most common combination, for patients who have both volume loss and ptosis. Adds surgical complexity and cost but addresses both concerns in one session.

Abdominal Procedures

The abdominal component is almost always an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) rather than liposuction alone. This is because the primary issues after pregnancy are structural: separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) and excess skin. Liposuction addresses fat but cannot correct muscle separation or remove excess skin. An abdominoplasty repairs the muscle wall, removes excess skin, and repositions the navel.

Full abdominoplasty — most common; addresses the entire abdominal wall from hips to pubis, repairs rectus diastasis
Mini abdominoplasty — appropriate for limited lower abdominal laxity without significant muscle separation; less recovery, smaller scar

Liposuction

Liposuction is commonly added to address the flanks, hips, outer thighs, or lower back. Fat in these areas is frequently redistributed during pregnancy and often resistant to diet and exercise. Adding liposuction to a mommy makeover is efficient because the patient is already under anesthesia — the incremental recovery burden is modest compared to the benefit.

Mommy Makeover Cost in Beverly Hills

The following ranges reflect all-in pricing from board-certified plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills, including surgeon fee, anesthesia, surgical facility, compression garments, and post-operative care.

Combination	Typical All-In Range
Breast augmentation + abdominoplasty	$22,000 – $32,000
Breast lift + abdominoplasty	$20,000 – $30,000
Augmentation with lift + abdominoplasty	$26,000 – $38,000
Any of above + flank/hip liposuction	Add $4,000 – $8,000
Full makeover (breast + abdomen + lipo)	$28,000 – $45,000

Combining procedures is more cost-efficient than staging them separately. The single largest cost in any plastic surgery procedure is the anesthesia and facility fee — shared across all procedures in a combined session, the per-procedure cost is lower than booking each surgery individually.

What Drives the Price

Three factors produce the widest cost variation in Beverly Hills mommy makeovers:

Breast procedure complexity: A straightforward breast augmentation adds less to the total than an augmentation with a full mastopexy, which requires significantly more operative time and surgical skill.
Abdominoplasty extent: A full abdominoplasty with significant muscle repair takes longer and costs more than a mini abdominoplasty on a patient with limited laxity.
Surgeon's fee: Board-certified plastic surgeons with subspecialty training in body contouring in Beverly Hills charge more than general surgeons for whom this is an occasional procedure. The surgeon's fee is the single most important investment in the outcome.

Recovery: What to Plan For

A combined mommy makeover has a longer and more demanding recovery than any single procedure, because the body is healing from multiple simultaneous surgical sites. Planning properly makes the difference between a smooth recovery and a difficult one.

Week 1–2

Full rest required. Significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort across both the breast and abdominal areas. Drainage tubes may be present for the first week. You will be unable to stand fully upright initially — a slightly hunched position reduces abdominal tension. Compression garments worn continuously. No driving. No lifting anything over a few pounds.

Week 2–4

Most patients return to desk work and light activity by week 2 to 3. Driving resumes around week 3 when no longer taking prescription pain medication. Standing upright comfortably by week 2 to 3. Swelling significant but improving. Social presentability for most patients by week 3 to 4.

Week 4–6

Continued improvement. Light walking fine; more vigorous activity restricted. Core exercises and heavy lifting remain off-limits until week 6 to 8.

Month 3–6

Residual swelling continues to resolve. Final contour of the abdomen is not visible until 3 to 6 months post-procedure. Breast implants soften and settle into final position over 3 to 6 months.

Critical planning consideration: You will be unable to lift children over 10 pounds for 4 to 6 weeks. Patients with young children should arrange dedicated help — a partner, family member, or professional caregiver — for at least the first 3 to 4 weeks of recovery. Attempting to lift or carry children earlier risks tearing internal sutures and compromising the abdominal repair.

Are You a Good Candidate?

The right candidate for a mommy makeover meets several criteria that directly affect both safety and outcome quality:

Done having children. A subsequent pregnancy will compromise abdominoplasty results (muscle repair) and may significantly affect breast results. This is the most important timing consideration.
Breastfeeding complete for 3 to 6 months. Breast tissue needs to stabilize after breastfeeding before accurate surgical planning is possible.
At or near stable goal weight. Most surgeons recommend being within 10 to 15 pounds of goal weight. Significant weight loss after surgery will create new laxity; significant weight gain will compromise the abdominal result.
Non-smoker or willing to stop. Smoking dramatically increases complication rates in abdominoplasty, particularly wound healing and skin necrosis. Most surgeons require 4 to 6 weeks of cessation before surgery.
Realistic expectations. A mommy makeover restores a pre-pregnancy silhouette — it does not produce a different body than you had before. Patients with realistic goals and good health achieve the most satisfying outcomes.

Choosing a Surgeon in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills has more plastic surgeons per capita than anywhere in the country. The concentration of cosmetic practices means patients have real choices — and real opportunities to make uninformed decisions.

For a mommy makeover specifically, two credentials matter most:

Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS). Not the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, not the American Board of Surgery — specifically ABPS. This is the only board that requires fellowship training specifically in plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Volume in body contouring procedures. An abdominoplasty is technically demanding. A surgeon who performs abdominoplasty regularly — not occasionally alongside a dermatology or facial rejuvenation practice — produces more consistent results. Ask how many they perform per year.

Frequently Asked Questions

A mommy makeover in Beverly Hills typically costs $18,000 to $40,000 all-in depending on which procedures are combined. The most common combination (breast augmentation or lift plus abdominoplasty) runs $22,000 to $32,000. Adding liposuction of the flanks or hips adds $4,000 to $8,000. All-in pricing includes the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, surgical facility, compression garments, and post-operative care.

A mommy makeover is a customized combination of procedures. The most common includes a breast procedure (augmentation, lift, or both) combined with an abdominoplasty. Many patients also add liposuction of the flanks or hips. The specific combination is determined during consultation based on your anatomy and goals.

Most patients return to desk work in 2 to 3 weeks. Lifting children over 10 pounds is restricted for 4 to 6 weeks. Strenuous exercise resumes at 6 weeks. Final results are visible at 3 to 6 months when residual swelling has resolved. Arrange at least 3 to 4 weeks of dedicated childcare help before scheduling surgery.

When you are done having children, finished breastfeeding for at least 3 to 6 months, and at a stable weight within 10 to 15 pounds of your goal. A subsequent pregnancy will undo the abdominal results. Stable weight is important because significant weight changes after surgery affect the outcome.

Yes, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon at an accredited surgical facility within safe operative time limits (typically 6 to 8 hours). Combining procedures is actually more efficient than staging them: one anesthesia, one recovery, lower total cost. When a patient's procedure list would exceed safe time limits, a surgeon may recommend staging across two sessions. This is a safety decision, not a limitation.
