How long does a breast augmentation and lift procedure take?

Question

I'm scheduled for a lift and Brest augmentation. How long will I be under anesthesia ?

Richard G. Reish, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a breast lift with implants. 
A normal breast augmentation takes one hour on average.  Breast lift with implants usually takes appox 3 hours, but this can vary among surgeons.
Best wishes and good luck.

Every surgeon is different.  Depending on the type of lift between 2-3 hours.  I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with and who is a board-certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.

Best wishes!

Times vary among surgeons. The combo procedure usually takes me 21/2 to 3 hours depending on the amount of lift done. Good luck.

Historically performing both augmentation and mastopexy in the same setting requires careful planning and understanding a patient's anatomy; the time of the operation can certainly vary depending on what is being performed.. best of luck!

Most breast lift surgeries take about 3.5 hours to complete. It all depends on the size of the breast and the complexity of the procedure. Time will vary depending on the surgeon.
