Pregnancy, weight change, and age can all take a toll on a woman’s body. Women who are looking to sculpt their bodies and restore their younger pre-pregnancy appearance often turn to mommy makeover surgery. Our practice helps moms and women of all ages from Louisville, Lexington, and across the state of Kentucky boost their self-esteem by achieving better body contours.
Most of our patients initially have several questions about the procedure, especially how much a mommy makeover costs. Below, we answer some of these common questions.
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Louisville & Lexington?
The cost of a mommy makeover in Louisville, Kentucky, is highly variable because it’s a suite of procedures customized to your specific needs. The price depends on several factors, such as your chosen procedures, the extent of your needs, and the number of areas treated.

How can choosing a mommy makeover help me save money?
A mommy makeover combines procedures to rejuvenate the body in a single surgery. This cuts down on the need for multiple operations and minimizes overall healing time. Many patients find that undergoing a mommy makeover is cheaper than scheduling 3 or 4 separate procedures. “Bundling” surgeries together is a safe, smart solution for those who want to contour the waist, breasts, and more.
Can you make payments on mommy makeover surgery?
Our practice offers financing options for those who qualify, allowing you to spread your costs out over time. We work with some of the leading healthcare financing companies, PatientFi®, CareCredit®, and Alphaeon®, so you can easily find the right financing option for you. Some of these options are medical credit cards, while others work like a typical healthcare loan. In each case, you can apply online and get an answer quickly.
Will insurance cover a mommy makeover?
Insurance does not typically cover a mommy makeover because it is considered an elective cosmetic procedure. However, if your surgery includes medically necessary components, such as breast reduction to alleviate back pain, your insurance may cover part of the cost. It’s best to check with your provider to understand your specific coverage options.
Are there additional costs after surgery?
Yes, you may have some related costs after your mommy makeover surgery. While your surgical quote includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility costs, you should also budget for smaller expenses, such as:
- Medications: Some patients may need prescription and/or over-the-counter pain relievers, antibiotics, stool softeners, or anti-nausea meds.
- Post-op care supplies: You may want some care and comfort supplies on hand for your recovery, like several cool compresses, specialty pillows or bed wedges, and gauze and medical tape.
- Scar care treatments: Once your incisions have healed, you may choose to use silicone sheets or cream to improve the appearance of your surgical scars.
- Potential time off work. If you’re taking unpaid time off work to recover, this can impact your overall budget.
Our team can give you an idea of the supplies that will make your recovery more comfortable.
