How Much Does an SMAS Facelift Cost?

A facelift can vary from just a necklift to a full facelift with a necklift. The cost is around $6-8000 depending on what you want done. The recovery takes about 2 weeks, but the results can last 10-15 years! Check out some before and after pictures to get an idea of what you want. Good luck!

The decision to have a facelift and selecting the right surgeon are very important considerations. There are many variations of SMAS facelifts. The cost of a facelift will vary by geographic location and the demand in that area. Ask the surgeon what you need to address your concerns. Also ask what will be addressed by the procedures and what is included in the fee. Be sure to also  include facility fees and anesthesia fees in your comparison. The surgeons experience and reputation are most important. You should also ask about the risk of complications which can vary according to the surgeon's experience,  the procedure technique, your health and other factors. Before and after photos and patient testimonials can also be helpful in your decision. Though it is important, the price should not be the primary consideration since the total cost can be difficult to calculate if the results are not satisfactory. Ranges of cost for your area may be obtained through this website as a guide. I hope this helps.

SMAS facelift costs will vary widely from one surgeon and market to another. This depends on factors such as the surgeon's experience, the local economic market conditions, the facility and anesthesia fees, and the specific techniques involved. Some patients and surgeons will factor additional procedures like eyelid surgery or brow lifts into the overall cost of the facelift. Finally, anesthesia and facility fees also come into play. 
During your consultation, the surgeon and/or their team will be able to give you specific quotes depending on all of these factors. Be sure to find a skilled surgeon that you trust and feel comfortable with.
All the best,

A great number of factors form the cost of a facelift - country, city, level of facility, surgeon's training and reputation, anesthesya fee, complexity of the surgery itself, one overnight stay at a hospital with all visits before and after surgery, possibility for revisions, etc.Finally, the total cost of a facial surgery will reflect a combination of supposed procedures. Face lift could be skin only face lift, or SMAS face lift or Deep plane face lift. In our clinic the range is anywhere 7 000 to 14 000 $. These are all inclusive prices. I will kindly remind you that looking for the lowest price is not the better approach when it comes to surgery. I hope this will help...

The #price of a #Facelift is always a concern when deciding whether or not to have a cosmetic procedure. Patients’ needs and goals vary, so there is no fixed price for a facelift. The contributing factors to the cost of a facelift include the surgeon’s fee, facility fee, medication cost and the anesthesia fee. Estimated fees may also be found here on Real Self, and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org.Secondly, your procedures should be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for a revision surgery. I suggest you view before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

This is a very difficult question to answer. There are so many factors that go into the cost of a facelift because each surgeon's training, reputation, revision rates, and geographic location is different as is each patient's face, skin elasticity, and method of aging.  Many patients assume they are getting the same type of facelift and pricing different surgeons, and in reality, there really isn't another way to do this if finances are your top priority. If results, outcomes, lack of complications, and lack of revision, is your top priority then you will most likely need to see a more experienced, qualified, and reputable surgeon so the price will be higher.Even among reputable busy plastic surgeons, the price can vary because all surgeons are trained differently an perform varying forms of facelifts. Once you select the top 3 plastic surgeons after doing your homework, visit all 3 and see who you feel comfortable with and who will be there for you if you have a problem.
