Answer: Tummy tuck, breast lift, implants and chin lipo
Depending on the surgeon and techniques used, this can take a minimum of 4 hours and easily up to 7 hours. Discuss these options with at least 3 diffferent surgeons as to the optimal procedures and recommended approach.

Answer: Breast implants with a lift combined with abdominoplasty and chin liposuction: A full day but worth it.
The combined operation you described is achievable within one day. A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and breast lift (mastopexy) with implants (mastopexy augmentation) is considered a mommy-makeover which usually takes 6 hours. Chin liposuction can be performed in 40 minutes so your procedure may be over 7 hours. I would definitely observe you overnight and you should be aware of the additional risk of combined operations. Combined operations can be related to an increased risk of wound infection and blood clots, however this may be lessened by maintaining your temperature during the operation and early ambulation after the case. Make sure you stop your birth control pills 3 weeks before to lessen the risk of blood clots.
I would urge you to see a board certified plastic surgeon who can explain the risks of combined operations, and performs these routinely. Please let me know if you have questions.
