Cost of Facelift Done by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

I have read many questions and the doctors answers concerning the cost of a LifeStyle or QuickLift. So how much does the average board certified plastic surgeon charge for a facelift?

Price of a Facelift

I prefer the term 'facial rejuvenation' over the more antiquated term 'facelift', as many patients that I see who seek a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance undergo a set of surgical procedures very different from what would have been considered a 'facelift' twenty-five years ago. The word 'rejuvenation' means, literally, 'to make young again'. In each individual, different facial changes occur with age. One person may be unhappy with... more

Costs of a facelift

A real facelift by a board certified plastic surgeon and a LS lift by a non-plastic surgeon (usually an ENT physician) is comparing apples and oranges so you can't compare them by price either. They are not the same and the results are not the same. You might want to call Dr. Barry Bishop in Greenville SC as he is an excellent plastic surgeon.

Cost of Facelift Surgery

Thank you for your question. The pricing information varies depending on exactly what is performed, the surgeon's credentials and experience with the procedure, if the surgery is performed in an outpatient surgery center or in an office setting, who administers the anesthesia. Please be careful when choosing your surgeon because there is a difference in expertise, experience and credentialling. Facelifting surgery can range from $9000 and up depending on exactly what is... more

Costs More Than a Branded "Lift"

It appears that you are asking the right question; seek quality first and consider price second. Although the branded "lift" procedures have excellent marketing, they tend to have a very high percentage of dissatisfied patients. The reason for the increased costs are as follows: 1) higher quality with a well qualified, board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon. Surgeons with great reputations tend to under-promise and over-deliver unlike the branded... more

Cost of a Facelift

Cost will vary tremendously depending on what is included in the surgery. In general, with a limited procedure the cost is less & the recovery is quicker, but the results do not last as long. Be careful you don't compare apples and oranges. Having said that, costs vary from $5,000-25,000. Depending on the extent of aging, less may be better. Be clear on exactly what will be done and what are normal expectations.

Cost of facelift by board certified plastic surgeons

Facelifts are most often performed by board certified facial plastic surgeons and plastic surgeons. These doctors have the best credentials, best training and the most experience. In general, they tend to have the best aesthetic sense. Actual costs vary from surgeon to surgeon usually based on experience, reputation, results, and he demand for services. In reality, the fees charged by a surgeon do not reflect results. A surgeon should not be selected using costs as the primary factor. It is... more

Geography, Overhead and Corporate greed vs. Ethical Surgeons are factors

Excellent answers to your question as always. A long story short is indeed that the more highly skilled and technical work that is required the more the surgery will cost. Geography is an important factor in costs as certain areas (NYC, Beverly Hills, London) have higher than average practice overheads and these need to be accounted for. In return though Surgeons who choose to practice in these areas tend to thrive in the competitive environment and can deliver to you what you pay for. As... more

The cost of a facelift done by a board certified surgeon varies

It depends usually on the amount of work to be done. Is it a full facelift or a mini lift? Twice as much time is involved and the results are much different. See an experienced facelift surgeon and let him tell you why he thinks you need one versus the other.

Your short-scar facelift fee will vary depending on your location, and your doctor's experience.

I almost exclusively perform a MACS-Lift, short scar facelift on my patients requesting surgical facial rejuvenation. My fee is $7500. This is a unique procedure that is performed through a small incision. Deep tissue (SMAS), and skin is repositioned in a purely vertical direction. Downtime is minimal, and your results are completely natural. If you have excessively wrinkled, sun-damaged skin, then this procedure may not be appropriate for you. I hope this is helpful.
