If : If you mean a tummy tuck where just the excess skin gets removed, then the procedure should take about an hour. Good luck from nyc. For more info visit www.Drgrossman.Com.

Varies.: Duration of surgery varies between 1 to 2 hours generally; most healthy patients tolerate this duration surgery without difficulty. Also important will be choice of plastic surgeon, anesthesia provider, and quality of surgery facility. Best wishes.

Talk to MD: This can vary by the speed of the surgeon, as well as the size of the procedure. This should not take more than 2-3 hours, which for an anesthetic is really not that long. Talk to your anesthesiologist and surgeon to express you concerns. Good luck.
