How Long is Breast Augmentation
Surgery?

It generally takes one to two hours to perform a breast augmentation procedure. However, this time may vary based on the breast incision location (areola, armpit, inframammary fold, TUBA), breast implant type, implant resting location, and any bleeding that may occur in the breast tissue or breast wall.

Patients can expect to remain in the recovery room for several hours following surgery before discharge. Philadelphia plastic surgeon Dr. David Bottger will give you detailed instructions for your post-operative follow-up care. It is important to follow these instructions very carefully to ensure that you heal properly.
