Surgeons vary: Length of surgery varies depending on severity of deformity, type of anesthesia and the surgeons skill level. This can only be estimated by your surgeon and should be outlined in your fee schedule. It is recommended to go to a board certified plastic surgeon who has more extensive training in aesthetic surgery. It is good to get two or three consultations to compare.

2 1/2 to 4 hrs: There are several techniques and each may take different time. The length of surgery, however should not be the deciding factor between surgeons. Outcomes do not necessarily dove tail with the time taken to do the procedure.

3-5 hours facelift: The time is variable between 3 to 5 hours to do a facelift and lower blepharoplasty. However, the time involved should never be used as a criteria to determine a surgeon's ability to do a good job. Facial surgery is highly specialized and proper technique is more important than actual time it takes to perform the procedure.
