How long is too long to be under anesthesia for a breast reduction and tummy tuck?

Asked By:bustiebritt in Los Angeles, CA

I am interested in having a breast reduction. My breasts are currently 40H. In addition to a breast reduction, I would also like to have a tummy tuck. My insurance is covering the breast reduction and it will be conducted at a hospital. My dr. Told me that it would be approximately 8 hours to complete both procedures. That seems really long to me. On average how long do you think it should take? Would you suggest doing the procedures separately?
