How long does Tummy Tuck take?
Penny 
I have my preop appt tomorrow. I am having a TT/Fleur de Lis.
I will ask again but I think he told me at my first appt that we were talking 4 hours or so.

I had TT with muscle tightening (anchor cut) and my husband said it took about 2.5 hours.
I had it outpatient and came home the same day - I got there between 6:30 and 7 and I was home between 1:30 and 2 - but that was me. Everyone will be different.

I did not have a Tummy Tuck, i had and LBL surgeon said it would be somewhere between 6 and 8 hours. It was closer to the 8 than the 6.

RNY 10/14/08 LBL 6/14/11 135 pounds lost, after bounceback regain. And I am OK with that. It enabled me to have double hip double knee replacements in the 9 month periond between Oct 2011 and June 2012.
When getting a TT the time of the procedure depends on the amount of work being done. Extreme cases of excess skin and muscle repair can take up to 16 hours for one procedure. In most cases it takes anywhere from 4-10 hours. My friend had about 150 lbs in skin removed. It took four different sessions lasting about 4-5 hours each. Have you heard of lifestyle lift?
