How Much Does a Mommy Makeover Cost in New Jersey?

A mommy makeover in New Jersey typically costs between $10,000 and $30,000 or more, depending on which procedures you combine, the complexity of your case, and your surgeon’s qualifications. Because a mommy makeover is not a single, one-size-fits-all surgery but a personalized combination of procedures, the final price depends entirely on your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The only way to get an exact figure is through a private consultation with a plastic surgeon who can assess your specific needs and create a tailored surgical plan.

At Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery in Englewood Cliffs, Dr. Boris Mordkovich works with each patient to design a plan that addresses their individual concerns from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

What Is a Mommy Makeover?

A mommy makeover is not a single surgery – it’s a personalized combination of procedures designed to address the physical changes that pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum life leave behind. Stretched abdominal skin, separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), deflated or sagging breasts, and stubborn fat deposits are common concerns that diet and exercise simply cannot reverse.

Dr. Boris Mordkovich works with each patient during a one-on-one consultation to design a procedure plan that matches their anatomy and goals. The $150 consultation fee covers this personalized session, and the full amount is applied toward your procedure cost if you decide to move forward.

Average Cost of a Mommy Makeover in New Jersey

In New Jersey, a mommy makeover generally costs between $10,000 and $30,000+. That range is wide because the total depends entirely on which procedures you include and how extensive each one is.

A straightforward two-procedure combination, such as a breast augmentation with liposuction, will typically land toward the lower end. A more comprehensive plan that combines a full tummy tuck, breast lift with augmentation, and liposuction of multiple areas will push toward the higher end or above.

The only way to get an accurate price is through an in-person assessment. Dr. Boris Mordkovich determines pricing after evaluating each patient because tissue quality, the amount of excess skin, and the degree of muscle separation directly impact the surgery required.

Cost Breakdown by Procedure

Understanding the approximate cost of each component helps you estimate what your particular combination might total.

Tummy Tuck

A tummy tuck in New Jersey generally ranges from $4,000 to $12,000. The final cost depends on whether you need a full abdominoplasty with extensive muscle repair or a less extensive approach, such as a mini tuck. The awake tummy tuck option available at Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery can also influence the total cost since it eliminates general anesthesia fees.

Liposuction

Liposuction costs typically range from $3,000 to $8,000 per treatment area. The price varies based on how many areas are treated and the volume of fat being removed. Treating a small area, such as the chin, costs less than comprehensive liposuction of the abdomen, back, and thighs (Lipo 360).

Breast Augmentation or Lift

Breast augmentation in New Jersey generally costs between $5,000 and $10,000, depending on the type and size of implants selected (silicone or saline). A breast lift without implants falls in a similar range. When augmentation and lift are combined (an augmentation-mastopexy), the cost increases due to added surgical complexity and time. However, the combined cost is typically lower than the cost of having both surgeries separately.

Additional Procedures

Adding procedures increases the total investment, but it can be more economical than scheduling each one separately. Common additions include:

• Labiaplasty: Typically $3,000–$6,000

• Brazilian Butt Lift: Typically $6,000–$12,000

• Arm Lift or Thigh Lift: Typically $4,000–$8,000 each

Key Factors That Affect Mommy Makeover Cost

Number and Combination of Procedures

This is the most significant cost driver. The more procedures you include, the higher the total – but there’s a financial benefit to combining surgeries. You pay facility and anesthesia fees only once, which is more cost-effective than staging the procedures over multiple surgical dates.

Complexity of the Surgery

Two patients getting a tummy tuck may have very different surgical needs. One may have minimal excess skin and mild muscle separation, while another may have significant skin laxity and diastasis recti requiring extensive repair. More complex cases require more surgical time, which directly impacts cost.

Surgeon’s Experience and Credentials

Dr. Boris Mordkovich brings over 30 years of experience performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries. This level of experience allows him to handle complex multi-procedure cases and produce consistent, predictable outcomes. While less experienced surgeons may offer lower prices, choosing a surgeon based on credentials and results rather than price alone is critical – this is a decision you will live with for decades.

Facility and Anesthesia Fees

Your total quote includes more than just the surgeon’s fee:

• Anesthesia: The cost of the anesthesia and the professional who administers it.

• Surgical Facility: The fee for using the accredited operating room, including all necessary equipment, supplies, and support staff.

Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery offers awake procedures for certain surgeries, which can reduce anesthesia costs compared to traditional general anesthesia. When procedures are combined into a single session, you pay these fees once instead of multiple times.

Recovery and Hidden Costs

Beyond the surgery itself, factor in recovery-related expenses:

• Compression garments: Dr. Boris Mordkovich provides compression garments (faja) as part of your care, saving you the expense of purchasing them separately.

• Post-operative visits: All post-operative visits are included in your surgical cost at Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery – no surprise charges for follow-up care.

• Time off work: Most mommy makeover patients need two to four weeks away from work, depending on the procedures performed and the physical demands of their job.

• Childcare: If you have young children, you’ll need help during recovery, especially for the first one to two weeks when lifting is restricted.

• Prescriptions and supplies: Post-surgical medications and recovery supplies are minor but worth including in your budget.

Payment and Financing Options

Practice Payment Plans

Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery requires a 20% deposit to reserve your surgery date. The full balance must be paid prior to your scheduled procedure date. Our practice accepts payments via credit card, debit card, cash, and Zelle. Note that a 3% processing fee applies to card payments.

Third-Party Medical Financing

For patients who prefer to spread costs over time, Cross Hudson Plastic Surgery partners with several financing providers:

• Cherry – Monthly payment plans that can be set up at the office during your consultation.

• CareCredit – A widely used medical financing option with various term lengths.

• Alphaeon – Another third-party financing solution for elective procedures.

These programs allow you to move forward with your mommy makeover without paying the full amount upfront. Each provider has its own approval process, interest rates, and repayment terms, so applying early gives you time to compare options.

Using HSAs and FSAs

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are designed for qualifying medical expenses. A purely cosmetic mommy makeover typically does not qualify for HSA or FSA reimbursement. However, if your plan includes a component that is medically necessary – such as a hernia repair combined with a tummy tuck – a portion of the cost may qualify. Consult your HSA/FSA administrator and a tax professional for guidance specific to your situation.

Conclusion: Investing in Your Transformation in New Jersey

Your total investment depends on which procedures you choose, the complexity of your case, and the experience of your surgeon.
