How Much Does a Lower Face Lift Cost?

The cost of a lower facelift, as with other cosmetic surgery, will vary according to area of the country, experience and reputation of the surgeon, extent of the surgery, where it is performed (in-office surgical suite or outpatient surgery center), and type of anesthesia.  In my practice in West Palm Beach, a standard lower facelift would usually cost between $4,500 and $6,500 all-inclusive.  This includes the surgeon's fee, the facility charge for operating room personnel and supplies, and the anesthesiologist's fee.  This is a general range, and the actual fee could be slightly lower (less than $4,000) or higher depending on various factors.  Remember that a lower facelift is more than just a necklift.  It includes work on the neck and the lower half of the cheek.

The cost of lower face lift depends on the  number of procedures needed to be down for a perfect result. Some people needs only skin tightening while some others require deep SMAS lifting with  submandibular gland or digastric muscles tightening and suspending. Some others would need platysmaplasty which is a hammock procedure of the neck tissues.  Depending on exactly what is being done, this can vary.  I would consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in facelift and lower facelift procedures.  Here you will have a full evaluation and be able to discuss your goals for surgery. 

Well, that is a difficult to question to answer. It is a little like asking how much a car costs...  not such an easy answer.  But a range is certainly reasonable to quote. And it is important to appreciate that the cost will vary by the board certification of your doctor, and his or her level of experience, among other things.  In my practice these procedures can range between $8000 and $15,000, all included.  Best of luck.

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

There are many factors contributing to the costs of facial rejuvenation procedures. The surgeon's experience, the extent of the surgery, the hospital facility to be operated and combination of procedures all contribute to the costs for these procedures.
In general, a mini-facelift procedure can start from anywhere between €2500-€3000 while a full facelift, necklift, browlift, blepharoplasties and fat grafting combination can head up to €8000. A lower facelift not combined with any other procedure could range from €3500-5500. A consultation will determine your exact needs and hence the cost for your procedure.
Hope this helps,

Thank you for your question!  The cost of any procedure has several factors, which include the cost of the surgery center, anesthesia, and a professional fee of the surgeon.  Depending on exactly what is being done, this can vary.  I would consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who specializes in facelift and lower facelift procedures.  Here you will have a full evaluation and be able to discuss your goals for surgery. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
