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
