How Much Does a Facelift Cost?

A good quality facelift procedure can be performed for as little as $5,000 in my area of the country, with a range falling between $5,000 and $11,000 depending on the number of additional procedures requested, such as brow lift and blepharoplasty.

In my hands, a facelift can be performed safely and effectively under local anesthesia in the office setting.  As a result, my patients do not have to incur the often prohibitive costs of general anesthesia and the cost for use of the facility and its staff.  

Besides being more cost-effective, a facelift under local anesthesia is also more appealing to patients who are concerned about the health risks of general anesthesia.  The recovery time or downtime after a facelift with general anesthesia is also longer after being put to sleep.  Finally, the experience of an office facelift under local anesthesia is quite a bit more private as compared to a facelift under general anesthesia.

The cost of a facelift can vary depending on whether you have your facelift with or without fat transfer. There are some important questions to ask as you should not base your decision about where to have surgery only on price.

It is important to ask the right questions during your consultation:1.Is
your surgeon a board certified plastic surgeon?Be
sure he or she is a plastic surgeon, there are a lot surgeons that are cosmetic
surgeons or board certified in other fields other than plastic surgery. They do not do the same training as a plastic
surgeon. You
can check the American Board of Plastic Surgery website for a list of plastic
surgeons in your area. 2.Does your surgeon commonly
perform this procedure?a.Ask to see before and after
pictures or look online for reviews on the procedure.3.Where is the surgery performeda.Is the procedure performed in an
accredited surgery center or hospital?4.Who performs the anesthesia for
the procedure?a.Is an anesthesiologist performing
the anesthesia?

Great question!
The range in pricing for facelift is perhaps the widest of any procedures performed by plastic surgeons and varies widely based on region and exact type of procedure, though even within the same region there can be significant variations in pricing structure. There are some that can charge upwards of 6 figure sums for surgery. On average, this can be from ~$5,000-$30,000.
A mini-lift, which focuses more on lifting skin than lifting the deeper tissue of the face (ie deep plane face lift) can sometimes be less expensive than a deep plane facelift. Similarly, a neck lift which is focusing solely on the neck would be less expensive than something more extensive like a whole face facelift.
Ultimately, the best way to find out the prices in your area would be to call around and schedule consultations to get a general idea. However, the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident in your surgeon and that you have shared goals and discussions. You can absolutely get great results without giving up your life savings, you may just have to search around a bit!

The average cost of a facelift (rhytidectomy) can widely depend on the type of procedure and location. There are different types of facelifts, such as: Mini-facelift, Traditional facelift, and deep plane facelift. A facelift is a major surgery that can produce incredible age-defying results. Every patient has different goals when it comes to their facial structure, pricing depends on each individual.

A facelift can average $10k to $18k depending whether you have a midface facelift that includes jowls and cheeks or a full facelift that includes the cheeks, jowls and neck. Also depends what part of the country you live in. There can be additional fees for anesthesia and surgery center facility use. The cosmetic coordinator can break down the fess for you.
Short scar or mini facelifts work well for many younger patients. This technique involves incisions within the temporal or sideburn hairline, extending along the front of the ear and ending just behind the earlobe.
Deep plane facelifts are best for people with more significant facial aging. This technique requires an incision that extends from the earlobe around the back of the ear and ending in the hairline behind the ear. The longer incision allows Dr. Olson greater ability to correct the neck.

The price range for a facelift in Paris typically goes from 9000 € to 20 000 € depending on the type of facelift (skin only, SMAS plication, High SMAS, Deep plane), the hospital, and the ancillary procedures that will be added to the facelift (blepharoplasty, temporal lift, lip lift, fat grafting, nano fat grafting...). 
Price varies greatly between surgeons, but so does the technique and attention paid to small details, just like in the US. So my advice is : "Do your home work, and don't select a surgeon solely on price".
