How Much Does a Lower Face Lift Cost?

contemplating getting a lower facelift but wondering price ranges

A: Cost of a Lower Face Lift

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.

Will my Surgeon Be More Likely to Do a Better Job on my Rhinoplasty if I'm His First Surgery of the Day or the Last?

I know it seems like a silly question but its really not. Take for example my hair stylist. I've found she does a much better job if I'm her very first client of the day. Verses being the last when she;s worked all day and tired. I know a stylist goes through a lot more clients in a day then a surgeon, so their not comparable. But i'm still wondering if it makes a difference? I've researched my surgeon and am confident in him but i'm still looking for the best possible results, as is anyone!!

A: First or Last Surgery of the Day

Every surgeon is different and has different preferences as to the time of day to perform surgery.  My energy level allows me to do surgery all day.  I thrive in the operating room. My focus, attention to detail and my mental stamina are magnified in the operating room atmosphere.

Crepey Eyelid Skin Help

I have crepey, loose skin in my eye area, mostly on my eyelids.  I wonder if having a blepharoplasty can fix the crepey skin problem. Are there any options besides eyelid surgery to fix my crepey eyelids?

A: Eyelids

It sounds like a Blepharoplasty is the fix for your crepey skin. This is a relatively short procedure with very little down-time.  This procedure can be done with  local anesthesia. This is a very cost effective procedure with the possibility of great results.
