Cost is usually the first question, and it is the hardest one to answer with a single number. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures chosen for one person, so two plans can hold different pieces and land far apart. This page explains how a quote is built, gives the national figures that exist, and lists what to ask a Dallas office.

Build my plan
Three answers and a provider in the Dallas area reaches out.
Mommy Makeover Dallas is a free referral service, not a clinic or surgical practice. A request sent from this page goes to an independent plastic surgery office in the Dallas area, which sets its own prices and is responsible for its own care.
Why there is no single price
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) publishes fee figures for single procedures, not for a mommy makeover. ASPS describes the makeover as a combination that may include breast augmentation, a breast lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction and other procedures. Which pieces you need, and how many, is the biggest driver of the total.
ASPS also says a surgeon’s fee depends on the surgeon’s experience, the type of procedure and the office’s location. So the national figures below are a starting point for questions, not Dallas prices.
National fee ranges for each piece
ASPS’s 2024 statistics give a projected national range for the surgeon’s fee alone. Its 2023 statistics give a single national average surgeon’s fee. Neither includes anesthesia, the operating room or facility, or other expenses.
| Piece | 2024 range, surgeon’s fee only | 2023 national average, surgeon’s fee |
|---|---|---|
| Tummy tuck | $8,000 to $13,500 | $8,174 |
| Breast lift | $6,500 to $11,000 | $6,816 |
| Breast augmentation with implants | $4,575 to $8,000 | $4,875 |
| Breast augmentation with fat only | $5,500 to $9,500 | $5,719 |
| Liposuction | $4,300 to $7,500 | $4,711 |
Do not add these up
Each figure is for one procedure done on its own, across the country. A combined plan is quoted as a whole by the office, and the total for a combination is not the sum of these lines.
What a surgeon’s fee leaves out
ASPS says its average “is only part of the total price.” A full quote usually has more lines:
- Anesthesia and the anesthesia provider’s fee
- The operating room or surgical facility, and an overnight stay if one is planned
- Implants, if your plan includes breast augmentation with implants
- Medical tests before surgery
- Post-surgery garments, such as a compression garment or support bra
- Prescription medicines
Ask the office to list each line separately, so you can compare two quotes fairly.
One stage or two, and what it does to cost
ASPS notes that combining procedures in one operation reduces total anesthesia time, cost and recovery compared with doing each separately. It also means a longer surgery with more areas healing at once, which adds risk, including blood clots. Most surgeons agree time under anesthesia should be no longer than about six hours, so a larger plan is sometimes split into two stages.
Two stages mean two sets of facility and anesthesia fees, and two recoveries to plan around work and children. Ask the office to quote both ways if it suggests staging, so you see the difference.

Costs that come later
Some costs arrive years after surgery. The FDA says breast implants are not lifetime devices, and ASPS says implants are typically exchanged or removed about every 10 to 15 years. For silicone implants, ASPS recommends MRI or ultrasound screening five to six years after placement and then every two to three years. The FDA notes some insurers do not cover implant removal or replacement, even for complications.
A later pregnancy or a large weight change can also undo part of a result, which is why ASPS suggests waiting until you are finished having children.
Reading a quote
- Which pieces does this quote cover, and which surgeon performs each?
- Is anesthesia included, and who provides it?
- Where is the surgery done, and is the facility fee included?
- Are implants, garments, tests and prescriptions included?
- Are follow-up visits included, and for how long?
- What would a revision or a second stage cost?
- Is there a consultation fee, and is it credited toward surgery?
- Does the office offer payment plans, and what interest and terms apply?
Take time with any payment plan: read the interest rate, what happens after a promotional period, and the total you would repay. A lower quote that leaves out anesthesia or the facility is not a lower price.
Prices in Dallas ads
The Texas Medical Board’s advertising rules say physician advertising cannot be false, deceptive or misleading, and bar untruthful claims about costs and fees, including calling something free when a third party is billed. If an advertised price looks far below the national ranges, ask what it includes before you book anything.
Before you pay a deposit, check the surgeon’s certification on the American Board of Plastic Surgery lookup and their license on the Texas Medical Board lookup. Offices north of the city are covered on the Frisco and Plano page.

Questions people ask
How much does a mommy makeover cost in Dallas?
There is no single figure. ASPS publishes national fees for each piece, not for a combination, and each Dallas office sets its own price. Use the table above to prepare questions, then ask for an itemized quote.
Why is my quote higher than the ASPS range?
The ASPS figures cover the surgeon’s fee alone. Anesthesia, the facility, implants, garments and medicines are extra, and fees vary with the surgeon’s experience and the office location.
Does doing everything at once cost less?
ASPS says combining procedures reduces total anesthesia time, cost and recovery, but a longer surgery adds risk. Your surgeon decides with you whether one stage or two is right.
Does insurance pay for a mommy makeover?
Ask the office directly and get the answer in writing. Do not assume any part of a cosmetic plan is covered.
Is there a consultation fee?
Providers set their own prices. Ask the office whether a consultation fee applies and whether it is credited toward surgery.
