That's an excellent question. The cost of any facelift or neck lift operation is going to vary based on many factors: surgeon experience, degree of technical difficulty, history of prior surgery, complexity of additional or adjunct procedures that may be performed at the same time, additional materials or procedures (such as fibrin glues, drain tubes, special equipment) that may be used during the procedure, among many other factors. Additionally, there may be other associated fees such as anesthesia and facility fees that are often not included in the advertised "cost" of the procedure. Furthermore, there are geographical differences in cost of procedures as well. In Ohio, patients should expect the total cost (including anesthesia, facility and any other fees) of neck lift or facelift procedure to be somewhere between $8,000 and $15,000. Keep in mind this is a range of what might be expected as a total cost. RealSelf lists the average cost for "lower facelift" as $9,700. A patient might be wary of any surgical fee quotation that falls outside of (either less than or greater than) this range. I hope you find this information helpful.Kind regards,Dr. Harmych
