Answer: Tummy tuck length Good question! It can vary from doctor to doctor as each has a certain different technique - such as combining a little liposuction, using progressive tension sutures, tightening the abdominal wall, or fixing small hernias. However the biggest factor is each patient's particular anatomy and issues. Some patients may need a mini tuck while others need a full tuck. Many patients have a weakened abdominal wall (diastasis recti) or hernias that need to be fixed as well. A larger torso will take longer to perform vs a smaller torso. Each patient has a different amount of loose abdominal skin/tissue, those who have a signifcant amount will add time to the procedure.With that being said, a mini-tuck will take about 1-2 hours to complete, a full-tuck will take about 3-4 hours to complete for the average patient with moderate amount of work to be done. I wouldn't fixate too much on the time, as the most important factor is a good plastic surgeon, who does good work, and who you get along with.

Answer: How long to perform a tummy tuck? This really varies from doctor to doctor. I usually always advise the liposuction the flank to achieve a tight waist-line and to enhance the buttock shape. To achieve this the patient must be turned side to side. This will take about 5 hours. If a waist enhancement procedure is done then it takes a little longer. Try not to focus on OR time but quality. Good luck.

Answer: How Long Does A Tummy Tuck Take? The right answer to this question is a tummy tuck should take just long enough to do every single necessary element to give each individual patient the best tummy tuck possible.Some plastic surgeons, by their nature, operate extremely fast and yet get everything done correctly. Some surgeons, by their nature, go slower. Both are correct if the surgeon is a Board Certified plastic surgeon with years of experience and history of great results.In my surgery center in Honolulu, the average tummy tuck takes approximately 3 hours, but time is less important than quality of work. Choose your plastic surgeon well, do your due diligence, and then allow the plastic surgeon to take as much or as little time as he or she deems necessary to give you an outstanding result (a great looking belly button, well repaired muscle separation, very tight skin, and a scar that is low, thin and as long as it needs to be to leave no dog ears).
