How Much Does a Lower Face Lift Cost?

contemplating getting a lower facelift but wondering price ranges

The cost of a lower face lift varies depending on your geographical location.  It is best to get several quotes from well qualified surgeons in your area.  Don't use the cost alone to determine your choice. I have seen some less than pleasing face lift results when money alone was the deciding factor.  Face lift fees can range from $9,000 to $35,000.

Sagging Skin After Weight-loss at 21. Is a Facelift my Only Option? (photo)

I’m 21 and I’ve been overweight most of my life. I’ve recently dropped 55 lbs over the course of a year. (180, now 125 at 5’2”) I’ve noticed sagging or loose skin and I’m definitely concerned about my face. The sagging became noticeable when my face started slimming about 5 months ago. Should I lose more and my face will firm? Should I look into a facelift or are there other non-surgical ways? Does my skin just need more time and/or a specific care regimen? Facial exercises? Glycolic Peels?

facelift after weight loss:

• at your age you may get some contraction of the skin
• fillers are probably the best place to start.
• sculpta, radiesse, juvederm
• ultimately fat grafts

Have had Two Brow Lifts with no Significant Difference, is it Possible to Not Take for Some Patients?

I've had two and have not seen significant difference, despite using a fantastic plastic surgeon who is very skilled with great credentials. Is it possible that some people's faces are not improved with surgery because of certain types skin/muscles?

browlift without improvement:

• i agree with comments below
• i would seek another opinion
• there are different methods to lift and suspend the brow
• open, endo, subcutaneous, subperiostal
