How much operating room time would liposuction of the abdomen and flanks take?

For almost all my liposuctions which are done under tumescent local with the smaller micro cannulas, the time is 4-5 hrs from the time they walk in until the lime they walk out. I stand them up several times during the procedure to access the results and fine tune the results right then and there.

there is no right or wrong answer to this.  It all depends on the size of the person, if full circumferential contouring is being performed, how many devices are being used if the procedure is high definition or not, if there is fat harvesting etc. there are so many factors. I personalize all my liposuction procedures quotes and often this woul take me 2.5-3.5 hours.  Longer for hi definition procedures and for a tumescent approach (which is much safer but takes long to allow the fluid to numb the aream).  Find someone with expertise.  Best, Dr. Emer.

The length of time in the operating room is highly dependent upon the size of the patient. In the average size person liposuction of the abdomen and waist would take one hour to an hour and a half. Heavier individuals take longer.

Thank you for your question. The operating time varies per patient depending on the size of the patient. Typically, it takes me anywhere from 2-3.5 hours for a procedure like this.

Hi, thanks for your inquiry, it depends all in the size of the patient, it would be better if you send some pictures to give you a ballpark figure. Please have an in person consultation so you can discuss thoroughly all your concerns, options and expectations. Good luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon

Every patient is different considering the size ofthe patient. Most patients take about an hour and a half to do both areas. You would need to speak to your doctor and they can give you a better idea of how long the surgery will take.
