I am 54, but look slightly younger. I don't mind the normal aging around my eyes, etc. but my sagging jowls bother me. My Plastic Surgeon says he would not recommend having a lower face lift without at least also doing a mid-face lift, as well as a brow lift. Now he has agreed he would feel comfortable doing the lift without a brow lift, but says he would definitely recommend a mid-face lift with the lower face lift. Is it really necessary to also have a mid face lift with a lower face lift?
Zsa Zsa-there is no one size fits all when it comes to face lifting. If it does not make sense to you, you may need another opinion.

contemplating getting a lower facelift but wondering price ranges
This is a tricky situation, this surgery can be very effective but you must be a good candidate for it. The decision shouldn't be made by pricing alone but cost is always an issue. You'll find that there are companies that 'fast-track' people in and out of their office for low cost lower facelifts. Most times, those offices aren't board certified plastic surgeons. The surgeries typically look good for the first few months to two years but then the results sag and stretch, the scars widen and wrinkles are oriented in an unusual direction giving the odd, operated looks that you see so often out of hollywood. The reason for it is that lower facelifts can be done very quickly with minimal recovery since not much is done but skin stretching. The skin makes everything look tight...until it fails. Skin has no strength and it will fail.
This is why we do lower face and neck lifts that are more involved than just skin. The deeper structures must be tightened first, then the skin may or may not need to be tightened but it typically sits there in it's new location once the lower face is lifted and some of the extra slack needs to be removed.
Cost varies by surgeon, by geography, by experience, by location, by anesthetic, surgery center, etcetera. You can find this surgery around $8000 just about anywhere. If it's much cheaper. Buyer beware, there's a reason it is so much cheaper than average market value.
Best Wishes,
