“How long does a facelift procedure take?”

Modern facelifts are individualized to each patient and can vary based on age, skin type, etc. A thorough consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon should provide you with a plan that will meet your goals. The procedures can range from 3 hrs - 7 hrs depending on how extensive the plan. It’s not uncommon to improve results by adding fat grafting or chemical peels as well.

The length of time for a facelift depends on the technique and extent of the procedure. My definition of the facelift procedure addresses the cheeks, jowls, and jawline and does not include the brow, eyelids, or neck. With that in mind, the length of time to perform this would be approximately 2.5 hours,
