The average length of procedures

The length of time spent in the operating room is influenced by several factors such as the surgeon's expertise, the specifics of your anatomical structure, and the degree of customisation required to achieve the desired outcome. Here's an estimated breakdown of the duration for each component procedure within a mummy makeover:

Tummy tuck

A tummy tuck is designed to create a firmer, smoother abdominal profile. This procedure can typically last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on whether it involves a full or mini-tuck and whether muscle repair is necessary.

Breast lift

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

Liposuction

Liposuction can range widely in duration from 1 to 4 hours. The time increases with the number of areas treated and the volume of fat removed. It requires meticulous work to sculpt and contour the body precisely.

Breast reduction

Breast reduction surgery, aimed at reducing the size and weight of large breasts, can be quite extensive and generally lasts 3 to 5 hours, subject to individual patient needs and the extent of reduction required.

Breast lift with implants

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

Breast augmentation

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

Given the tailored nature of a mummy makeover, these durations are guidelines, with the actual surgery time varying based on personalisation to your body and desired results.
