Why do facelifts and neck lifts generally take longer overseas?

Reliable534671
I notice that USA surgeons say their FL/NL etc are of up 4 - 6 hours but overseas, including Thailand are up to 10 hours. Why is there such a big difference and how can they even perform for that long? Also US surgeons tend to use IV sedation and overseas favour general which is more risky. Why such a disparity?
