How long approximately does Implant removal and bilateral capsulectomy surgery take?

engeleen
I am soon going to have Implant removal and bilateral capsulectomy. I have had PIP implants since 2006 and the full capsulectomy has been advised. I have been to see two surgeons and received different info on the time for this procedure. One saying only 45 minutes and the other 2-2.5 hours so I am not feeling confident in the procedure at the moment.
