Lower facelift

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... more

Depends on setting

Facelifts do vary by experience, degree of lift and the cost of a home in your area. In SC as a boarded surgeon, my office based lifts with limited anesthesia begin at $5400 and at a surgery center with MD anesthesia at over $8300.

Prices vary widely

Depending on the area you live and on the reputation of the surgeon you go to, the prices for a cheek and neck lift will vary widely. For high quality surgery you could spend between $8,000 and $25,000. Don't base your final decision on whom to go to on price alone. You don't need to go to the very highest priced surgeon to get great results but you certainly won't get the best surgery from the lowest priced doctors.

Average cost of lower facelift

The complexity of the surgery and the included components, the credentials of your board certified plastic surgeon, the use of local or general anesthetic, and finally the geographical location of your surgeon. Our average lower facelift can range from mid $5000 to mid $10,000. Cost should never be the first factor in your choice. You must consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in order to... more

Facelift cost

The expected range will be from $7000 - $20,000 This will vary greatly depending on the complexity, experience and training of the surgeon, and geographical location. For example are we talking about a American Board of Plastic Surgery certified doctor who has done hundreds of these procedures or a dermatologist or oral surgeon who has not undergone a formal residency/fellowship. Is just a simple skin re-draping being done or neck muscle tightening, platysmaplasty,... more

Lower face lift cost

There are a number of variables that may effect the complexity and cost of a lower face lift. For example: Is there significant muscle laxity and banding? Is there deep neck fat? Does the chin need to be augmented? Do the submandibular glands need to be trimmed? Is there a need for fat grafting to the face?

Cost of a Lower Face Lift

Hi There, The cost of a lower face lift varies depending on your geographical location. It is best to get several quotes from well qualified surgeons in your area. Don't use the cost alone to determine your choice. I have seen some less than pleasing face lift results when money alone was the deciding factor. Face lift fees can range from $9,000 to $35,000. Thank you for the question, Dr. David Alessi

Lower facelift pricing

The thing about facelift procedures is that they are individualized to patient need so the prices can vary, unlike breast augmentation, for example, which has a consistent price. In my practice in New York, a lower facelift would start at $7000 including anesthesia and facility fees. I would caution patients against fly-in/fly-out doctors at corporate practices with heavy marketing exposure. Many of these physicians are not board certified, not plastic surgeons and are... more

How much does a lower facelift cost?

Surgical treatment of facial aging changes must therefore be carefully individualized to match each patient's aesthetic needs and desires. No two 'facelifts', by necessity, are the same. In helping a patient to make decisions about plastic surgery for facial rejuvenation, I always examine and assess how each aesthetic area or 'unit' of the face contributes to an individual's overall appearance: the brows and eyelids, the cheeks or 'midface', the lower face and... more
