How many hours would it take to perform a tummy tuck and breast lift?

The amount of time needed to perform a tummy tuck and breast lift will depend on the individual case as well as the surgeon. These two procedures are commonly and safely performed together and should take less than six hours combined of surgical time.

Hello! Thank you for your question! The mommy makeover - what plastic surgeons think of as a tummy tuck with breast contouring - is a very popular procedure that can produce excellent results! Pregnancy/age/weight loss all play big roles in the laxity and normal aging cascade seen. The procedure has become very popular in those women looking to rejuvenate their belly and breasts after completing such events as you describe. The abdominoplasty will contour your belly, remove loose tissue as well as lower the position, and plicate your abdominal wall to youthful tightness. If you are content with your current size, the breast lift will serve to raise your nipple-areolar complex, give you a more perky/uplifted appearance, and give you more youthful/fuller breasts. An implant would give size, shape, and fullness. It typically takes 4-6 hours of operative time, depending on size/complexity. These procedures may be safely combined at one setting, given you are healthy and without significant medical comorbdities. I would consult with a plastic surgeon who would examine you and discuss the various options and assist you to decide if you wish to undergo all of the procedures at once or at smaller staged procedures. An examination of the amount of work to do with each will also make the decision. There would obviously be a cost saving and recovery benefit for a one-stage procedure. However, your safety should not be sacrificed for these reasons.Thank you for your question! Hope that his helps and best wishes for a superb result!
