Is an hour and a half too long for implant surgery?

My surgeon told me that it takes an hour and a half for implant surgery. Is this considered too long?

Jesus christ. We don’t know you or your surgeon. Surgery takes as long as it needs to.

My understanding is infrapubic can be done in under an hour, penoscrotal takes 60 to 90 minutes.

How long did mine take? No idea. From the start of the journey from the ward to the theatre to comming out of anaesthesia and back in the ward was just over 3 hours, but my surgeon had to deal with another urgent case as I was entering the theatre and I have a history of slow recovery from anaesthesia.
