2-4 hours: Depending on your size, previous surgeries, amount of skin to be removed, and whether you have had significant weight loss play factors into the time of surgery. You will be asleep, so you wont really know either way. Time for recovery is usually 2-3 days of discomfort and need for assistance, 1-2 weeks at home, light activity for 6 weeks. Best of luck and quick recovery!

Skin-to-skin=>: 1:15- 2:15 anesthesia adds about fifteen min on each end, and the prep,etc another10. The time is usually relatively unimportant at your age

3 to 4 hours: A full tummy tuck is an out patient procedure that requires approximately 3 to 4 hours in the operating room. Of course, actual time will depend on your specific case and the surgical plan. http://www.cosmeticsurg.net/procedures/tummy-tuck/
