Spectrum Aesthetics starts mommy makeover pricing at $5,300 for the classic combination of a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. This all-inclusive price covers the surgeon's fee, anesthesia, the accredited facility fee, standard implants, muscle repair, and routine follow-up visits. Adding a lift, Lipo 360, or extended techniques will adjust the total, which will be clearly detailed in your written quote.

There is no fixed list; it is a customized surgical plan. Most plans anchor on a tummy tuck and breast surgery (augmentation, lift, or reduction), often refined with Lipo 360. Dr. De Jesus recommends only the specific components your body needs to achieve your aesthetic goals.

You should wait at least six months after you have finished breastfeeding and have maintained a stable body weight. Breasts continue to change for months after nursing ends, and operating too early makes it very difficult to accurately size implants or plan a lift.

A later pregnancy is medically safe, and your repaired muscles and skin will stretch to accommodate it. However, the pregnancy will likely reverse the aesthetic benefits of your surgery. We strongly advise waiting until your family is complete to protect your surgical investment.

Plan for two to three weeks away from desk work, and four to six weeks before you can lift anything over ten pounds. Because the surgery treats both the chest and abdomen, you will manage two sets of recovery guidelines simultaneously. Swelling resolves progressively, and final shape settles by month six.

Yes, for healthy candidates. Combining procedures minimizes anesthesia events and recovery periods. However, operative time is the controlling safety factor. Dr. De Jesus keeps elective combinations inside a conservative time window and will recommend staging into two separate surgeries if it is safer for your specific health profile.

Stretch marks located on the lower abdominal skin that is excised during the tummy tuck will be permanently removed. Marks above the navel typically remain but will shift lower and often soften. Stretch marks on the hips, thighs, or breasts are not removed.

Generally, yes. Implants placed beneath the chest muscle through an inframammary incision preserve the gland and ducts. However, we plan mommy makeovers for mothers who have finished nursing, as operating on a recently lactating breast compromises both safety and aesthetic sizing.

No. The physiological changes pregnancy causes are permanent, so they remain fully correctable whether you are two years or twenty years postpartum. What matters is the current state of your tissue, skin laxity, and overall health, not the calendar.

No. Insurers classify the component procedures as elective cosmetics. Rare exceptions include a breast reduction for documented chronic pain, or a panniculectomy for recurrent skin infections beneath a hanging abdominal fold. If your case has documented medical impact, please let us know during your consultation.

Health first: candidacy, BMI, and operative time decide how much can be done safely in one session. Support second: a combined recovery demands real help at home, and a mother without it may be better served by staging. Budget third: one session usually costs less in total, but staging spreads the payments. Dr. De Jesus gives you her recommendation with the tradeoffs, not just a yes.

The structural elements are durable: excised skin does not return, and the muscle repair holds. Implants may eventually warrant revision, typically after ten to fifteen years, and natural aging and weight change keep reshaping everything slowly. Hold your weight steady and keep your family complete, and the result you see at one year is largely the result you keep a decade later.
