Today, my dentist recommended a local plastic surgeon who charges $60,000 for a facelift (presumably including ASC fees and anesthesia). He said some of his patients have used this surgeon and gotten fabulous results.The only other quote I have gotten so far for a facelift is $30,000 all inclusive.While I have no doubt that the surgeon that my dentist recommended is good, can the $60,000 guy really be that much better than others with prices slightly less stratospheric? (And yes, people in this town have way too much money, although I am not one of them).

Answer: Surgery in LA LA land If you have the money and will not miss it then fine, go for it! As the other posts have said you can find top notch quality for much less! Review several doctors pictures and credentials and ask about their complications and how often they occur and who pays if they do occur. Bleeding is the number one complication. You want to ask about it so if it does happen you are not stuck with a big bill. Good Luck!

Answer: Cost of a Facelift I have been in Beverly Hills for several years and that price seems to be on the most expensive side. That being said is the price just for the facelift or are other things included like the eyelids, brow, laser, fat injections as well as the OR/anesthesia fees. The best thing to do is get more than one consult and see who you are comfortable with. Additionally pictures don't lie, ask to see before and after pictures and you can make up your mind to see if there is any real difference. Hope this helpsRitu Chopra MD
