Least Expensive Facelift Option

This is a difficult question because there are many options for facial rejuvenation and lots of cleverly named "mini" lift procedures out there. You look quite young for a true facelift and may benefit from less invasive procedures like Botox and fillers and possibly laser resurfacing with laser lipo of your neck and jowl area. Whatever you decide, seek out a board certified and well-trained surgeon and get their opinion rather than seeking out a cheap procedure that... more

Aternative to facelift

Going for the least expensive option is almost an invitation for a bad result or no results at all. From the photo you included, it does not appear as if you need a facelift. Perhaps a better option would be to consider some type of skin rejuvenation/skin tightening procedure such as fractional laser resurfacing. This in conjunction with some strategic use of Botox and fillers may postpone the need for a facelift for 5-10 years. I hope this helps.

Facelift and least expensive option

When considering facial rejuvenation, there can be a number of different treatment options. These can include surgical procedures such as a full face and neck lift, a browlift, and/or eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Along with these surgical procedures, less expensive, non-sugical treatments may also be considered such as botox injections, filler injections such as Restylane and Radiesse, and/or skin resufacing treatments such as chemical peels or laser skin... more

The cheapest alternative is to avoid having a cheap facelift!

In looking at your photos, I wonder if you might not do extremely well having services like BOTOX and fillers. The facelift is best for lower face and neck laxity. From the photo, this does not seem to be your issue. Avoid cheap facelifts. The results are a disaster. I am thinking of a TV commercial for a quickie facelift where the women look like they were videoed through a camera lens smeared with vaseline! Don't let that happen to you. more

Facial Rejuvenation Alternatives for Facelift

When it comes to plastic surgery, it is difficult to determine costs because it varies depending on each doctor’s professional fees as well as the medical center’s anesthesia and facility fees. There are also many options for facial rejuvenation including both surgical and non-surgical treatments. There are “mini facelift” procedures available to target specific areas and concerns. Non-surgical treatments such as Ultherapy® or radio frequency skin tightening technologies or Botox®... more

Inexpensive face lift

It will not be easy to get a good face lift inexpensively. Most mini face lifts are less expensive but will not last as long. You may consider facial fillers (liquid face lift) to refresh the face without a major expense

Facelift - What is the Least Expensive Option?

Well, the least expensive may not be the best choice - and that applies to you, to anyone else, and to every procedure. Those decisions may be complex but you should consider all your choices before you decide what to do. In your case, you may benefit from a combination as simple as liposuction of your chin/submental region (if you even need that - can't tell for sure from the photo) and a neurotoxin (ie, Botox or Dysport). You could also have some fillers to your... more

Cheap Facelifts

Thank you for the question. Patients frequently call and ask how much surgery is prior to knowing whether they even need it. Looking for the cheapest deal is a recipe for disaster. I see complications from these cheap plastic surgery factories every day. You may want to consider why someone is so cheap. It may be the only way they can get patients. I suggest you have an evaluation from a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Trust me, a revision can be much more expensive. more

Least expensive facelift

When it comes to surgery, you should not make your decision based on the least expensive option. By doing so, you may end up setting yourself up for less-than-optimal results and greater cost in the long run. It is difficult to tell by your photo, but you may not even need a facelift at this point. In order to make a well-informed decision, you should start by consulting with a board certified facial plastic or plastic surgeon who can answer your questions and concerns... more

Cheap facelift

I'm not convinced from your photo that you are even a candidate for a facelift. However, shopping for the cheapest facelift is a good way to get a result you won't be happy with. You should consult with a few board certified plastic surgeons to first determine what your options are. Information out there on facelifts can be very confusing and you should take the time to become better educated about the different options. It is possible to get a great... more

Least Expensive Facelift

While cost is important to all of us, don't make this the primary motivation for selecting a surgeon for a facelift. Revisions of poorly done cosmetic surgery are very expensive and will cost a lot more in the long run. First consult with an experienced surgeon(s) to share your goals and expectations so alternatives can be discussed including financial options.

Facelift Options and Pricing

Some people identify a facelift with a general pick me up of their face. While a facelift is a great procedure, its not right for every person at every time in their life. My advice is an in-depth consultation to review all of your options for rejuvenation and then start dealing with the pricing. Good luck!

I Want a Facelift, What is the Least Expensive Option?

Don't shop for your Face Lift based opon price. You may want to read my article here on How to Choose Your Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon. Your selection shhould be based upon the aesthetic judgement, experience and training of the plastic and cosmetic surgeon. The minimal incision Face Lift uses smaller incisions, less tissue dissection and as a result has a quicker recovery time. Alway keep in mind that you do get what you pay for.

Cheap face lift options; mini face lifts; quick fixes

In this day and time it saddens me to see the marketing of "cheap", "mini face lifts, and offers to get you back to work quickly as the primary focus. Make no mistake, minimal downtime and optimizing recovery is very important, but in general you get what you pay for and if something is cheap with very little downtime, then most patients are very disappointed with it long term. I have found that many patients want a "mini" downtime, and a "mini"... more

Cheap facelift options

Do not bargain shop for a cheap facelift. Do consultations with multiple surgeons, look at before and after pictures, talk with other patients, and take your time. National, corporate cosmetic surgery company's marginalize the facial rejuvination process deceiving patients with rapid recovery time, no pain, and a cheap price. Often times patients who go for the cheapest option are completely unprepared for the entire process which leads to anger and resentment towards their surgeon... more

Cost of face lifts

You'll get what you pay for. Be cautious about discounted face lifts. Additionally, I think you might get more for your time, healing, and money if you waited. I think less invasive treatments would work well for your for another 2 to 4 years. Chase Lay, MD

Facelift

Unfortunately this is one field where you get what you pay for. The face is not an area where you want to risk having a bad outcome. Seek out a board certified specialist who is dedicated to providing the highest quality and can help you achieve the goals you desire.

Best and cheapest facelift.

Best and cheapest facelift is the one that doesn't need to be revised because of a problem--if it can be "fixed". I often see patients who shopped price and got a very poor result that can't be fixed. See an experienced facelift surgeon for the best quality.

Face lift costs

There are lots of varieties of techniques to rejuvenate your face. See a well traind and experienced surgeon and listen to what he has to say. Then see at least two others and get educated in what is required to meet your goals. Remember this... if you choose your surgeon and procedure based on low bid you will get exactly what you paid for!

Facelift options - cost vs quality

The least expensive facelift option is the one you don't want to have! Remember that this is your face, the most visible part of your body. Cheap surgery has much more chance of giving you a bad result and should be strongly discouraged. Best to stay with skin care, fillers and Botox until you can save for a real facelift by a real plastic surgeon. Don't make the wrong choice here as bad results are often uncorrectable.
