Cost of Facelift Surgery

A facelift is a complex surgical procedure that requires advanced skills and extensive experience. When performed well, it can treat a number of aesthetic concerns, including facial lines and wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, loss of facial volume, hollow cheeks and facial inelasticity. This is why the facelift cost is extremely difficult to determine. But generally speaking, the more expertise a surgeon has, the more the facelift will cost and vice versa. However, because a facelift is a highly visible cosmetic procedure that's quiet unforgiving, it is essential to locate a top surgeon who is known for producing aesthetically pleasing results, regardless of the cost.

A facelift can cost anywhere from $6,000 to $15,000 and consist of the following:

• Anesthesia fees – $1,000 to $3,000
• Facility fees – $500 to $2,000
• Surgeon's fees – vary

The surgeon's fee accounts for most of the cost and is difficult to determine because it depends on a number of important factors that can only be discussed by the surgeon and the patient. The surgeon's credentials and facelift expertise, as well as the extent of the facelift surgery and the patient's aesthetic goals are both essential in determining the surgeon's fee.

The patient's current condition of the face is also an important factor that helps the plastic surgeon develop a treatment plan, which reveals the complexity of the procedure and, therefore affects the cost. For example, skin that is extremely damaged and stiff may require more work, which will affect the price.

The cost of facelift surgery also depends on the type of facelift, which generally differ by the type of incision, the area of the face treated, the degree of invasiveness and whether the facelift requires facial implants and/or is performed in combination with other facial surgery procedures, including eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty and/or chin augmentation. In fact, a number of patients decide to undergo more than one face contouring procedure at the same time because it may help lower the cost of each individual cosmetic enhancement.

Once you have established facelift cost and have had the procedure, you may want to investigate dental procedures that can help enhance your new facial profile. Visit our sister site to learn about Invisalign or about a smile makeover after you have experienced symptoms of TMJ.
