Is Nine Hours Under General Anesthesia Too Long?

Asked By:philsfan in Texas

I am considering revision rhinoplasty and a facelift. The surgeon is a board certified facial plastic surgeon with excellent reputation. I am concerned about the length of the surgery. This will be done in a hospital. I am healthy, a non-smoker, and 46 years old.
