Length of time for an extended deep plane facelift?

Diligent806036
I have had 8 consultations. 6 were face only doctors and 2 were general plastic surgeons. The doctor I reserved a facelift with 3 years ago sadly died during Covid. His high smas deep plane technique was 4 hours. Anything else was added on time. His results were literally transformational as my girlfriend went and she looks exactly like she did when she got married. Literally like a magician turned back the hands of time. The other docs tell me it only take 2 hours. How is this possible?
