Is 8 hours surgery time safe for Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift with Augmentation and Flanks lipo?

March 9, 2021
Asked By:4444mama in Anaheim, CA

I am a thin, healthy person considering full TT, moderate breast lift and augmentation, maybe lipo to flanks to create hourglass appearance. Not much fat, low BMI, mainly wanting to remove sagging skin from pregnancies. Is 8+ hours safe for surgery time? I was quoted between 6, 6.5, and 8 hours between 3 different surgeons. 8 hours sounds long, but that surgeon was most thorough? Thank you!!!
