"good" and "inexpensive" are contradictory criteria for facelift surgery.

You will display the results of your facelift surgery every day for the rest of your life. So while there are some who can get decent results at a lower price, this is not the norm; good, experienced facelift surgeons charge what their services are worth. This is not an area where you want to "cut corners" so to speak. I would be especially cautious about advertised brand-name facelift procedures, based on the reviews posted on Real Self.

Good and inexpensive facelift

If your doctor has extensive facelift experience and a long record of happy patients and successful results; these days probably the best reasonable approach to a good facelift is local anesthesia with a valium by mouth. I have found over the last few years I get 90% of the quality results this way, as when I was doing facelifts under general anesthesia or I.V. sedation. Since almost all the relevant surgical risk is related to the anesthesia this approach is much safer, and... more

Looking for a Facelift Deal (Good and Cheap) can be tricky

Regarding: Doctor Recommendations for Good and Inexpensive Facelift I Am Looking for a Good and Inexpensive Surgeon for a Facelift Procedure in the U.S.Can Anybody Help?" While everything that is extremely cheap is far from good, merely paying a lot more for something does not assure you of excellence. People charge what they think something is worth tempered by what they think they can get. Are certain lawyers worth over 1,000 per hour? Are certain watches worth over 60,000... more

Good facelift work

Caveat emptor or buyer beware. If you buy cheap you may get cheap. It is also much harder to fix bad work than it is to do a great facelift fromt he get go. Good luck!

THere are no bargain facelifts

A good facelift, that is a facelift done properly and safely producing a beautiful result requires great skill and experience on the part of your surgeon. Bargain or inexpensive facelifts imply a "shortcut" or leaving something out. What can be lacking is the experience and skill of your surgeon or possibly your safety. Generally cheap or inexpensive facelifts are mini lifts or partial lifts that just do not produce complete, satisfying and long lasting results.... more

Excellant but inexpensive facelift.

I think you should approach this by putting a very strong emphasis on "good facelift" and less on inexpensive. There are a multitude of "branded" facelifts advertized which promise less scarring, less recovery, less cost with the same result as a regular facelift. They are not real facelifts and the duration of the result will be less. For your safety and happiness with the end result, you should consult with several board certified plastic surgeons... more

Recommendation for Good and Inexpensive Facelifts?

In medicine and in life, one gets what they pay for in general. The mini-lifts or the “fast lifts” with a one-day recovery period are just that; they are not true facelifts. If a patient has no recovery period then there will probably be NO long-term lasting results from the procedure. I do not have any recommendations other than you should seek a board certified plastic surgeon that has expertise and experience in performing true facelift procedures. A true facelift... more

Do not let the price be the most important factor

While every patient must take price into consideration, this should not be the overriding factor when you decide on your surgeon. That is certainly not to say that you will get a better facelift if you pay more money; however, I would be very wary of a procedure that costs next to nothing. I think the best strategy is to find a few surgeons in your area who have good reputations and see them for consultations. Choose surgeons who have extensive experience, produce excellent results, and... more

Facelift financing price reduction

I have a lot of experience doing facelifts. Presently, because of the economy, I am offering a significant price reduction on all cosmetic surgery as well as excellent financing. Also, I am offering a mini facelift done with a local anesthetic and quick recovery.

Good and Inexpensive Facelift

Physicians in training at a teaching hospital do provide an opportunity for less expensive cosmetic surgery. The best surgeon is not necessarily the best, but do not shop price - this is your face.

Cost effective facelift

From your description, it sounds as if you live in New York. I am not sure anything is inexpensive in that area although there are a lot of fine surgeons there who can perform a facelift for you. Larger cities like New York, Chicago, Beverly Hills, etc. are going to cost you more to have the procedure done there. You might want to check out neighboring smaller areas outside of the city or in neighboring states. In our Jacksonville area, the costs are around 6500 dollars. I hope... more

Good and Inexpensive Works for Hamburgers and Oil Changes, not for Facelifts

Facelift is a rather complex and involved multilayer facial procedure which can leave a patient looking fantastic and refreshed or stigmatic and disfigured. Ask yourself: Why would a Surgeon, after completing College, Medical School, and 6-8 years of Residency/ Fellowship offer bargain prices for a Facelift? The reason is that there is probably some disparity in that Surgeon's training, experience, or results in Facelift surgery compared to the community in which he/she practices... more

How to choose a facelift surgeon.

Manhattan Plastic Surgeon 1) Is the surgeon a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery? Members usually do a lot of cosmetic surgery. 2) Did you sense a commitment to excellence in the office. Did the surgeon spend a lot of time with you? Someone who rushes through the consultation may rush through the surgery. 3) Were you treated as an individual? Did the surgeon present you with a surgical plan tailor made for you? 4) Plastic surgeons have to have a good... more

Inexpensive Facelift

Inexpensive Facelift = poor results! You get what you pay for is the sayiing that comes to mind. If you wish to save than seek residency training plastic surgery programs for inexpensive fees.

Recommendations for facelift surgeon

There are many options available to you when seeking a surgeon to perform a facelift, and a broad range of fees. If cost is prohibitive, you may wish to inquire about some of the aesthetic surgery training programs offered at teaching institutions at significantly discounted rates.

Inexpensive Facelift

Hi, Price is relative. You can probably find a surgeon that will do a great job that fits your budget. It all depends on what you think is inexpensive. In NY the cost will range from about 7k to 30k for similar results. I dont think you always get what you pay for. Shop around and you'll find a good surgeon. Best, Dr.S.

Facelifts and Pricing

I would suggest to have a few consultations, rather than zeroing in on a price first . Many people believe that they need a particular procedure but, in fact, there are alternatives. This is especially true in aging face surgery. Liposuction, endoscopic lifting, botox, fillers, thermage, laser treatments etc. all have their place. Many times in my practice a patient thinks they need a facelift but, in reality, they need a neck lift or a midface lift, or simply volume fillers. There are... more

Good and inexpensive facelift - ??

You get what you pay for in life in most circumstances and any well trained, well qualified and experienced plastic surgeon will have fees that you might consideer "expensive" especially in NY. But remember, IT IS YOUR FACE and errors cannot often be corrected (and cost much more too!) so don't go to the least expensive person thinking you will get a great result. Better to save for the right surgeon.

You get what you pay for....but don't pay too much

I think the adage "you get what you pay for" is appropriate with one major exception - sometimes the most expensive facelift is not always the best. As a plastic surgeon in NYC, I see many patient who have been quoted over 25k for a facelift. I don't think that spending this much guarentees you the best result. You should obviously avoid the "low, cut-rate" prices that some charge. Also, keep in mind that not every facelift is the same. Many... more

You need to be careful with this.

Unfortunately, the best surgeons I know charge accordingly for their services. I am no exception. As other surgeons who contribute to this website will tell you, the biggest problems we have to manage come from other surgeons and patients looking to cut corners to offer a services for less. Great work takes great effort. I think you are much better off looking for the best surgeon and saving on other things that are less important than how your face looks and... more
