Is 6.5 hours for a mommy makeover the amount of time I will be under anesthesia?

Hello! Mommy Makeover is a broad term that typically describes breast and body contouring procedures to refresh women's bodies after pregnancies, and associated weight changes and aging. Breast surgery can include breast augmentation and/or breastlift. Body procedures include Liposuction of the Back and Liposuction or Tummy Tuck of the Abdomen. Other procedures like Facial procedures or Labiaplasty may be tied into the procedure.
A common combination procedure may be a breast augmentation/lift (2.5 hours), a tummy tuck with muscle repair (2 hours), and back liposuction (1.5 hours). This comes to about 6 hours. As long as the patient is healthy and the procedure minimizes blood loss and heat loss, the procedure is perfectly safe. Of course this would also take into consideration having surgery with an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon who performs surgery in an accredited facility.
I would recommend you meet with a board certified plastic surgeon. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org. Best of luck to you!

Outpatient general anesthesia is usually 4-5 hours depending upon the accreditation of the facility. Past the 6-hour time frame, most will be kept overnight for observation. Plan to stay overnight.

Mommy makeovers take a long time when you choose to have multiple procedures. Just make sure you choose a board certified plastic surgeon and are in good health going in. Then plan to have solid after care. Either choose to stay with a care service, your doctors office, or exceptionally competent family member bc you may need a lot assistance for the first night.
