What is the average cost of a lower face lift/neck lift? I'm 70 but young looking

What is the cost of a lower facelift,  necklift, lite lifThe cost will vary regionally an by the doctors experience.You can find regional costs on the Real Self website.   In our office we can do this with a local anaesthetic  for 4000-8000 dollars depending on the extent of the procedure.   it is individual patient by patientjh

Facelift costs are listed in real self, at the bottom of the questions , and will be specific to your area. Once you have doctors you like, you can further determine costs by visiting them for a consultation and some may provide you with approx pricing on the phone. 

A lower face/neck lift is safest and best results when done under local with a little iv sedation for complete comfort and is very affordable at roughly $15,000.

Despite advances in fillers, toxins, and minimally invasive treatments, a facelift remains the gold standard for facial rejuvenation.  This is likely to be the case until aging can be addressed genetically.  The  experience, results, and practice patterns of your Surgeon are critical in your choice.  Although I post my prices on my website, the cost in SWFL varies from $8,000-20,000 depending on your location and the individual Surgeon (factoring in anesthesia and facility fees).

The cost of surgery would depend of complexity of the problem and time used to fix it. Experience and reputation of the surgeon will make significant difference; looking for more experienced surgeon in this field of surgery is always a benefit and money saving regardless how expensive it may look to start with. In South Florida area that will range between $6000-15,000 including anesthesia and surgery facility fee.

Hello, 
    Thank you so much for your question! I have to give you a disclaimer, I love facelift surgery. It is hands down my favorite cosmetic proceedure. Now specifically with regards to yourself we really need some photos to give the best advice. In general if you need a facelift I would recommend going for it! A well done facelift by an experienced surgeon can be quite life changing. Not to sound corny but truly it often changes many of my patients entire outlook on life. Many many different surgeons offer facelift now days but at the end of the day the best way to protect yourself is to do the following: Meet your prospective surgeon, check out their facility, review their photo galleries either in the office or online and lastly if you feel the need speak to their prior patients. Also, your surgeon should perform facelift surgery frequently (4-8 lifts per month).  I always have patients willing to tell prospective patients about their experience in my care. Regarding cost you should expect between 6500-15,000 depending on fascities and Anesthesia fees. Location and demand always play into the cost of Aesthetic Surgery. I hope that helps and best wishes on your upcoming proceedures!

 The cost of a facelift is directly related to the amount of time it takes to perform the procedure in a formal operating room, time monitored under general anesthesia by a physician anesthesiologist, and the surgeon's professional fees for performing the procedure in addition to all of post operative follow-up appointments for one year. The operating room and anesthesia fees are based on time. More important than price is the quality of the work that is being performed.  Choose your surgeon wisely based on studying their before-and-after facelift photo gallery,Which should be extensive and reflective of their practice producing natural results. For many before-and-after facelift examples and our current price list, please see the link and the video below 

Facelift cost vary from surgeon to surgeon.  Also, you will have facility and anesthesia fees.  Consult with a highly experienced board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation.  

 Hi, I have performed many facelifts  and neck lifts for over 30 years and have performed many minimally, invasive SMAS facelifts.  Non smiling photos of your face from the front and side would helping the evaluation and in deterring the associated costs. 
 If you have "jowls” these are sagging facial tissues and the main indication for some form of a SMAS facelift.  The underlying SMAS layer, of the face, must be dissected, lifted, trimmed and re-sutured (not merely folded or suspended with threads or sutures that will not last).  The excess skin is then removed and the facelift incisions closed.
 My most popular SMAS facelift is the minimally invasive, short incision SMAS facelift that has all the benefits of more invasive facelifts (traditional, mid-face, deep plane, cheek lift and subperiosteal facelifts) but with these added benefits:
very small incisions and no incisions extend or are placed within the hair.
minimal tissue dissection = less bruising and swelling = rapid recovery ( several days instead of weeks or months with the more invasive type facelifts mentioned)
can be performed in 90 minutes or less, with or without general anesthesia
no incisions within the hair = no hair loss
excess fat can be removed from the face and neck
excess skin removed from the face and neck
cheeks, chin and jaw line can be augmented with dermal fillers (I prefer Restylane Lyft) or facial implants
most patients fly back home to parts all over the world in as little as 3 days post-op
 I combine facial shaping with every facelift procedure.  When jowls are present, these should be done in concert and not alone or separately in order to create a naturally, more attractive face. Following my facial beauty principles, women look the most feminine, youthful and attractive with heart shaped faces.  Heart shaped faces have cheeks that are full and round in the front.  If the cheeks are flat or concave in the front, Cheek augmentation with a dermal filler or using cheek implants for a permanent enhancement will create full, round cheeks that will feminize the entire face.
 If the chin is weak, this A creates an imbalance making the nose appear larger, the mid face top heavy and the lower face look short that de-emphasizes the lips and allows early formation of a double chin.  Chin augmentation using a chin implant will add projection to the chin creating harmony and balance to the lower face.  I have found placement of a silastic chin implant, through a small curved incision under the chin (also allows excess skin removal) to be very safe, quick and highly effective.
  Along with the minimally, invasive SMAS facelift described above, some of the excess skin below the chin can be removed using a small, curved incision under the chin.  This along with skin removed in front and behind the ear will tend to reduce the skin excess by around 70% or more.
 If anterior platysmal bands are present or the maximal amount of neck skin is to be removed, a "formal" neck lift can be done.  In this procedure, the face and neck tissues are elevated using a curved incision around the front (explained later) of the ear that continues in the crease behind the ear and then 3 inches into the posterior hairline.  The tissue is dissected from that point all the way across the entire neck to the same position on the other side of the head in a dissection that is as long vertically as the entire neck.  The Platysma muscles are tightened using a curved incision under the chin and each side is pulled upward and back again being tightened at a line behind each ear (under the tissues).  Since the skin flap pull is up and back, this will pick up any tissue laxity along the jaw line or "jowls" which must be dissected and flattened out using a lower facelift (incision around the front of the ears).  If this isn't done, pleats of excess skin will appear below each ear. This is an extensive surgery taking 4 1/2 to 5 hours with large incisions, possible hair loss and months of recovery.  You may or may not be a candidate for an invasive type facelift requiring 6 hours of general anesthetic at 70 years of age.  It all depends on your general health and risk factors including medical conditions and medications that you take. Finally, the reality is that there are many different ways to perform a facelift from incision length, incision placement, level of tissue dissection (skin only, SMAS, Deep Plane, Subperiosteal), different degrees of tissue undermining, how to lift and support (imbrication versus plication of the SMAS layer), how much excess skin to trim, is excess fat going to be reduced and finally will the overall shape of the face be made more feminine or masculine (while avoiding the over pulled, windswept appearance).  Price is determined by the reputation, location and experience of the Facelift Surgeon.Hope this helps.
