The length of a tummy tuck surgery varies according to the individual. A complete tummy tuck, referred to as full abdominoplasty, takes typically 3-3.5 hours but may take up to 4 hours in those patients with a big belly. Mini tummy tuck procedures, which are done on patients with lesser looseness, sagging, and similar concerns and do not cover as much area as total abdominoplasty, take less time, and are finished in less than one and a half hours. The quantity of extra skin in the belly, whether fat is removed, the size of the abdomen, the suture method used, and the condition of the abdominal muscles all contribute to the time of the surgery. The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia and must be carried out in a hospital setting with adequate circumstances and equipment.
