Is 12 hours too long for surgery?

Hi there, this is a great question. It is very rare that any mommy makeover type surgery lasts 12 hours, depending on your current size and how much extra tissue you have I would say average mm times are more like 6-8 hours. 12 hours seems excessive, even a 12 hour surgery when done safely and appropriately should be safe for your assuming you do not have medical co-morbidities including diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease or lung disease. Best of luck!

Hi & thanks for your question.
Not sure who is giving you this information. Is it your surgeon? Mommy Makeovers do not take 12 hours, typically. However, I do not know the particulars of your case. I suggest consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your question. I do a breast lift with implants in 3 hours and a tummy tuck in 3-4 hours. Yes, 12 hours is too long. If your surgeon told you he will do it in 12 hours, I'd recommend you to choose a better surgeon.

Please feel free to contact me for an online consultation.
