Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

Breast surgery generally lasts around an hour to two hours depending on the surgical techniques applied.

Miguel Delgado, MD · Answer

If you are referring to the time the actual surgery will take, that can vary with the surgeon, usually about an hour and a half. But if you are wondering how long the surgery results will last, that can vary greatly from patient to patient. The implant manufacturers have a lifelong warranty on their implants and a ten year warranty on help with reimbursement for surgery costs if re-augmentation should be necessary. I tell patients they should plan on having  a redo at some point in their life.

Jaime Perez, MD · Answer

Breast augmentation surgery with breast implants generally takes about 1 - 1 1/2 hours.  More complicated cases or those requiring a simultaneous breast lift will take longer.

	Breast augmentation surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis (meaning you go home the same day after surgery) under general anesthesia or under local anesthesia with nerve blocks and monitored anesthesia care.

	The most important thing, however, is to have your surgery performed by a plastic surgeon that is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery in an accredited ambulatory surgery center or hospital.

Most surgeons typically take about one hour to an hours and a half to do a breast augmentation procedure.  The most important part is making sure that your surgeon achieves the best result for you regardless of the time.  Good luck!

William Bruno, MD · Answer

Most breast augmentations take about an hour to perform.  Some surgeons may take a bit longer or may be a bit faster.  Do not worry too much about the duration of the surgery; what's important is that your surgeon is meticulous with the technique and you'll have a great result.
