Upper Blepharoplasty surgery duration

Andrew Y. Kleinman, MD answers: How long does an upper Eyelid surgery usually take?

The doctor who is going to do my upper Blepharoplasty said that the procedure will take about 1 1/2 to 3 hours, and he is going to use a local. Is that right? 3 hours? Isn't that way too long? I've heard 1 or 2 hours at the most.

I would agree with my collegues that the usual amount of time for a straight forward upper lid blepharoplasty is usually less than an hour. Using local anesthetia for a blepharoplasty is very common.

Hope this helps.
