Facelift price comparisons
I would be cautious using a bargain hunter approach to facial plastic surgery. It is possible for a private practice surgeon to compete with the corporate Lifestyle Lift pricing model. However, this is not the most important factor when considering facial plastic surgery. Finding a board certified surgeon who you are comfortable with and you trust will be with you through the entire process is much more important. I would do a few consultations and compare cost as well as results and...

Good question about facelifts!
First of all, I am not even exactly sure what a ABCFPS (I can guess what the letters stand for) surgeon is but what I am sure it is NOT is a real Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. So please turn your good intent to do research into productive research and start with real plastic surgeons, operating in accreditied facilities with anesthesiologists working with them either to provide sedation or light general anesthesia.

Cost difference between Lifestyle Lift and Private Practice
The Lifestyle Lift business model is to offer low prices an perform high volumes of surgery. They reduce their costs by performing the procedures under local anesthetic. The Lifestyle Lift offices do a very good job of selling their services. Unfortunately, they have a history of some not so reliable nor trustworthy methods of marketing and sales. In my opinion, you would do better to have consultations with board certified plastic surgeons in their private offices.

Cost comparison of Face Neck Lifts
When looking at the cost of a cosmetic procedure, the most important factor is your comfort and trust with the surgeon. You should feel that they can deliver on your expectations, and if there is any touch-up or revision needed, they will stand by their work. That being said, facial plastic surgeons are generally sensitive to the issue of patient budgets and may be quite competitive with brand name franchise lifts. Having intimate experience with such lifts and offices, the one thing that I...

Cost Comparison in Facelift Surgery
Chrystal, thank you for asking this question. I would like to echo Dr. Blinski's thoughts, because they address the heart of the issue. The fact is that a well informed patient is primarily seeking a good result, in a circumstance where they they will feel comfortable, at a price which seems reasonable. LSL prices are generally cheaper than those of most experienced Facelift Surgeons, because there is no Anesthesiologist involved, and there is no accredited...

Cost Comparison of Lifestyle Lift vs Private Practice
If you are comparing LSL vs mini lifts with a boarded PS, than compare fees, results, anesthesia, etc. Here on RealSelf only 50% had a positive experience with the LSL vs 70% with a mini lift. That SAYS volumes! Obtain a LSL consult and 2 mini lift consults, if the fees were equal whom would you chose? HUMMM let me guess.

Facelift pricing
Get consults with Lifestyle and other practitioners in your area and be sure all costs are included. Many plastic and facial plastic surgeons can be competitive with Lifestyle Lift and possibly be able to offer you the comfort and safety of monitored sedation. Local anesthesia alone can be quite traumatic and ,in my opinion, potentially more dangerous than monitored sedation along with the local anesthesia.
All lifts that will tighten the cheeks, jaw line and neck will...

Can a board certified surgeon compete financially with a lifestyle lift patient
There is no contest . The board certified surgeon works with monitoring devices and an anaesthesiologist in a certified facility with training in the specialty not a short course in one variation of an operation for all.You can negotiate with a doctor and tell him your budget and the competition prices.Nothing is written in stone.

Private Practice vs LifeStyle Lift
There are Great, Good and not so good private practitioners that do facelifts under local anesthesia, with scars in front of the ear and results better, equal to or worse than the LiteLift. They go by many different names such as Lite Lift, Quick lift, S lift, MACS and a host of others. But the name of the procedure is not the important item. What is important is the experience, and skill of the surgeon. The best trained Plastic Surgeons are board certified by the American Board of Plastic...

Cost Comparison for Facelift.
The most important factor in considering this type of surgery should not be cost alone. Your best bet would be to seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area experienced in facial cosmetic surgery that you feel comfortable with. The fees involved usually include a facility and anesthesia fee which are well worth it to ensure the procedure is done in a safe and effective manner. You would be well served to do some research prior to proceeding...
