Great question ,dont we all worry about lengthy surgeries and their potential long term harm , but there is a difference ,especially when one talks about your own face or your own teeth where only 2 things count : the right esthetic choices and a natural finish ! A wavy incision properly placed is quasi invisible but take 2 to 3 times longer to complete than a very visible straight line and simple one hour one direction face lift and its pulled look doesnt ccome close match the beauiful and natural results of my 3 h Refresherlift ,longer but well worth if ,especially as your are sedated with numb skin for over 3h .

A facelift operating time is about3 hours. If eyelid surgery is included the amount of time is closer to 4 hours. Dr. Walker
The length of surgery will depend of the complexity of the facial rejuvenation. Facial rejuvenation is more than a lift. Several components will need to be added to give you a true rejuvenation. Deep Midfacelift, deep neck lift, fat grafting, upper an lower eyelid surgery, facial implants etc add time and complexity to the procedure. Skin-only lift can take 2-3 hours. A more complex procedure can take 5-8 hours. Everything will depend of your evaluation and your aesthetic goals.
Hello thank you for the question ! It depends on the operator and the operation! If it is a facelift / neck lift only, it takes me about 3.5 to 4 hours to complete , if it requires other add on procedures such as fat grafting and or eyelid surgery or skin resurfacing it can take a little longer . Hope that helps !
