How long does surgery last? You don't want something to last too short because when you wake up, you have more potential to have trouble with nausea, vomiting, just a difficult wake up. And obviously you don't want really, really long surgeries. Our surgeries last between two, two and a half hours to four, four and a half hours, typically. And in that time I can do an explant with or without a lift. Explants and fat transfers with without lifts. We do skin tightening with body type. We may add Morpheus 8 hyperneeling as well, because we're really efficient. Our technician has worked with us for many, many years. Our anesthesia team has worked with us for many, many years.
