How long does a mommy makeover take?

How long the different procedures take

Time in the operating theatre depends on several factors – from your unique body structure to the surgeon's skill and the specific adjustments needed to reach your goal.

Below is an approximate breakdown of the time needed for the most common procedures in a mommy makeover:

Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)

A tummy tuck is designed to create a firmer, smoother abdominal profile. The operation usually takes between 2 and 4 hours, depending on whether it is a full or mini tummy tuck and whether muscle repair is necessary.

Breast lift

A breast lift addresses sagging and restores a more youthful breast contour. This operation usually takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether additional procedures, such as repositioning the nipple, are also needed.

Liposuction

Liposuction can vary greatly in duration, from 1 to 4 hours. The time increases with the number of areas treated and the amount of fat removed. It requires careful work to sculpt and contour the body precisely.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction surgery, which aims to reduce the size and weight of large breasts, can be quite extensive and generally lasts 3 to 5 hours, depending on individual patient needs and the extent of the reduction required.

Breast lift with implants

When a breast lift is performed together with the placement of implants, the combined procedure can extend the operating time to around 3 to 6 hours. This reflects the complexity of reshaping the breast tissue and ensuring optimal placement of the implant.

Breast augmentation

Breast augmentation alone is generally a 1 to 2 hour operation. It involves inserting implants to increase breast size and improve shape, and can be quicker if no additional lift is required.

Given the bespoke nature of a mommy makeover, these durations are guidelines, with the actual operating time varying depending on the adaptation to your body and your desired results.
