A boob lift and tummy tuck are two popular cosmetic surgery procedures to restore and reshape breasts post-pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. Both procedures may also be combined with liposuction and breast augmentation to create an ultimate mommy makeover experience.
Individual surgeries incur separate fees for surgeon services, anesthesia costs, and recovery periods; in contrast, combination procedures save money by only incurring these expenses once.
Cost of boob lift and tummy tuck
After pregnancy and weight fluctuations, many women can be left dissatisfied with their bodies. Many turn to plastic surgery in order to restore and reshape their appearance – the two most sought-after procedures being tummy tuck and boob lift procedures.
Tummy tuck (or abdominoplasty) procedures aim to eliminate excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles that have loosened over time from pregnancy and breastfeeding, helping alleviate health problems associated with stomach sagging such as backache or poor posture.
Mastopexy (breast lift) corrects sagging breast tissue by raising its position with respect to the areola and nipple, either alone or combined with liposuction. A boob lift may be an ideal solution for women not seeking larger breasts and seeking to restore natural contours after breastfeeding or childbirth.
Recovery
Liposuction combined with tummy tuck surgery is an ideal treatment option for patients who have lost significant amounts of weight or given birth, as it tightens loose abdominal skin while improving muscle tone. Liposuction can also remove any extra fat deposits in the abdominal region.
Once completed, the abdominal region will be wrapped with a surgical dressing and small drain tubes may be installed to drain fluid away. Your surgeon may place stitches or surgical tape over the incision site to secure its healing. Be mindful not to pull on these scars too harshly as this could stretch them out of shape.
Recovery after boob lift and tummy tuck procedures is typically slow. Patients must rest, avoid strenuous activities, and rest. Swelling and bruising may take up to several weeks to resolve; final results could take as much as six months to become visible. It is advised to arrange childcare or home assistance services during this process for support.
Surgeon’s fee
Surgeon fees play a pivotal role in determining the overall cost of a mommy makeover. Plastic surgeons with extensive training in specific procedures may charge more, while surgeons with proven results often command higher rates than their peers.
A tummy tuck can create a flatter, firmer stomach by removing excess skin and fat. This procedure is popular after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Pricing of this procedure varies based on your surgeon’s approach as well as whether you opt for a mini, full, or extended procedure.
A boob lift can improve a woman’s appearance by elevating the bust and restoring nipple position, as well as address stretched breast tissue caused by pregnancy or breastfeeding. Pricing can depend on your choice of surgical technique and implant material (silicone vs saline), surgery length, and type of anesthesia used during surgery.
Insurance
If you are considering having a tummy tuck and boob lift to restore your postpregnancy figure, the first step should be confirming whether your insurance will cover this procedure. You can do this by speaking with someone from your provider’s office about which documents will be needed for preauthorization of preauthorization.
Many patients experience deflated breasts after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations; diet and exercise do very little to correct these issues. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) can tighten abdominal skin, remove extra fat deposits, and repair muscle damage caused by pregnancy or excessive weight gain.
Insurance providers usually consider tummy tucks cosmetic procedures rather than reconstructive. Therefore, most will only cover it if your doctor can demonstrate it is medically necessary – for instance, if oversized breasts are causing shoulder pain, nipple grooves in skin, or rashes that need treating. Furthermore, insurance providers may offer financing options that help manage costs associated with having one performed.
