I wanted to know approximately how long the surgical time might be for a full tummy tuck with muscle repair, and liposuction of the flanks and abdomen. Thank you.

A straightforward tummy tuck should take 1 1/2- 2 hours. If there are other procedures such as liposuction, an additional 1/2-1 hour can be added.

I had reduction from DDD to D 10 months ago (lollipop procedure). One breast has more weight/volume and is heavier than is comfortable. A 2nd opinion was to have the original doctor just lipo the larger breast in the OR vs office. He said the risks associated with revision surgery weren't warranted…

Depending where the excess tissue is, a revision certainly can be performed. If the nipple position is appropriate and the excess is toward the lower portion, then the nipple position would not have to be " re-done". Usually removal of the excess tissue can be done with liposuction but, if there is extra skin, it should be removed as well.
