Larger tummy tucks can take up to 4.5 hours, depending on the amount of skin and fat being removed. The operating times include the time it takes to administer anesthesia at the beginning of the surgery and to wake up from anesthesia at the end of the procedure. Following your surgery, expect to stay in the recovery area for at least 1.5 hours. READ MORE
