Bilateral upper eyelid or lower eyelid blepharoplasty takes 45 minutes. Combined, ie all four lids, about an hour and fifteen minutes.
Upper lids about one hour. Lower lids another hour.
Thank you for your question.
It takes me at least an hour and a half to complete the procedure that I prefer, upper or lower eye lid surgery. I don't ever over-correct, removing too much skin or soft tissues (usually some fat). And I do the local anesthesia myself, so it may take me a bit of time. It's a safe procedure and I try my best to get the aesthetic results that both the patient and I are happy about.
Depends on how much skin, fat pocket or you need a fold created. It usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
