How long does a typical TT and muscle repair surgery take?
Answer: Tummy Tuck, muscle repair; surgical and recovery time. There are considered 3 types of tummy tucks. Mini-tummy tuck, regular and extended. Surgical time is usually 2-4 hours depending on the amount of liposuction. MY technique places the scar extremely low, approximately 7 cm from the vaginal crease within the bikini line. The belly botton scar is "inny". Muscles are tightened in midline, liposuction of the lower lateral aspect of the abdomen, along with the upper abdomen and flanks to improve the contour maybe added to the proceedure depending on the individual. In most cases, I use a pain pump. It is used to control the pain for the first 48 hours and reduce the amount of narcotics taken. Recovery after Tummy Tuck:about 3 hours in the recovery room2-3 days in hunched over position. Surgical discomfort is controlled with pain pump and pain meds.10-14 days back to the activities of daily living4-6 weeks normal exercise

Answer: Time for tummy's! I have performed a lot of abdominoplasties, but despite all that experience I still find it depends on the following 3 factors: 1. size of patient, 2. whether or not the muscles will be tightened, and 3. whether liposuction is to done. So the range of time is from 1-3 hours, with the most common amount of time to be told to the average patient being 2. Hope that helps.

Answer: Length of TT Usually the case takes about 3 hours, depending on how complex the case is. If previous surgery is done or if there is significant scarring it may take longer. Also liposuction can extend this a bit.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Muscle repair The surgical time to perform a Tummuy Tuck with muscle repair depends on 2 issues… the size of the patient and the surgeons experience. On average this is 2-3 hours. But can last as long as 4 hours on a person of larger size. Total OR time will be longer with anesthesia procedures included. Ask you PS how long they thinks it will take . Most should be within 30 min of their estimate.
