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.
