Before you book
The questions moms actually ask.
How does the virtual consult actually work?
It's a real consultation by video, not a sales call — you share your goals and photos, and a board-certified surgeon walks through what's driving your concern and what a plan could look like. No flight is needed just to have this conversation; you can do it from your kitchen table.
Do you help with flights, or just the surgery and stay?
You book and pay for your own flight. From the moment you land, though, everything else — the surgery, the recovery-stay accommodations and local transport — is one all-inclusive number, arranged before you travel.
What does the recovery-stay include, and who arranges it?
A private, comfortable place to heal near your surgical team, with check-ins scheduled through the hardest days. It's arranged for you before your date is set, not something you have to research and book yourself in an unfamiliar city. Exact scope is set per clinic — confirmed at your consult.
Who's watching my kids while I'm away?
This is planned with you before a date is ever set, the same as it would be at home — who's on the kids for the days you're traveling, arranged in advance rather than figured out at the last minute.
What if I need a follow-up after I've flown home?
A virtual follow-up is scheduled before you leave, so your surgeon can check on your healing once you're back. If anything needs in-person attention locally, that's discussed candidly as part of your plan.
How much does a mommy makeover cost, all-in?
A combined mommy makeover — including the recovery-stay and local transport — is all-inclusive from $6,499*, with financing that can bring it to around $142/month*. You can see the monthly estimate from the candidacy check, before you talk to anyone. Your exact number is set at your free virtual consult once a plan is built for your case; combined plans that add more components run higher.
The pouch survives every diet — what is that, really?
Very often it's not fat at all. During pregnancy the abdominal muscles can separate down the middle — diastasis recti — leaving a gap that no amount of core work closes, because it's anatomy, not effort. A tummy tuck repairs the muscle itself; that's the difference.
I had a C-section. Does that change anything?
Often for the better. Where possible the existing cesarean scar can be worked with — incorporated into the tummy-tuck incision rather than added to. It's reviewed openly at your virtual consult so nothing about your history is a surprise on the day.
Is it surgery? How much downtime, and is it safe?
Yes — it's real, combined surgery performed under anesthesia in an accredited facility by a board-certified surgeon, not a walk-in procedure. The restricted stretch is roughly the first two weeks, with a gradual return over about six; your recovery-stay covers the part right after surgery, and timelines are typical ranges, never guaranteed.
Does checking financing affect my credit?
No. The pre-qualification uses a soft check with no impact to your credit score. You'll see an estimate before you ever book, and a reservation can begin with about 10% down, with payments able to start after your recovery-stay.
How do I know if I'm a candidate?
The candidacy check gives you a first read and a first roadmap, and your candidacy — and the right timing — is confirmed by a board-certified surgeon at your free virtual consult. If it's not the right time yet, we'll say so, no flight required to find that out.
