Facelift surgery is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. - is this normal?

Hello Forceful661964!
Surgery schedules can vary for a number of reasons. The important thing is to make sure you are comfortable with your surgeon, that they have answered all of your questions. If you have questions about the hour of the procedure, or anything else, you should ask the surgeon or their staff and make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction. You want to enter the procedure with full confidence in your surgeon, not skepticism. Enjoy your transformation!

As incredible as this sounds, there are some Surgeons who prefer a much later start. I am not one of them, but there are probably valid reasons for this detail that can only be answered by your Surgeon. For scheduling, staffing, lifestyle, and logistics purposes, I prefer a much earlier AM start time.

Thank you for your query. Most practices schedule general anaesthesia procedures in the morning and procedures done under local anaesthesia or sedation are often done later in the day. This allows enough time for recovery in a daycare settings. The timing of the procedure, besides the type of anaesthesia, depends on the schedule of your surgeon and whether the surgery is in a day-care/office facility or in a hospital setting amongst other considerations . You should discuss your concerns about the timing of your surgery with your surgeon who should be able to address your concerns . All the best!
