How Much Does a Mini Lift Cost?

Mini facelifts will range in cost from about $5000 and up. Costs will vary with geography, surgeon characteristics (fellowship trained in cosmetics vs residency training only) and the specific type of lift you need (there are many). 
The key issue here is selecting the proper procedure for your needs though, and even though one may desire a mini lift, that may not be the exact correct procedure for them. Specific aspects beyond a mini lift (the neck) can be strategically and specifically addressed to blur the lines between a mini and full lift, which is often the case. 
Traditional facelifts are usually in the $15,000 range for what most consider a "full facelift." 
Where I trained in Los Angeles, one of the surgeons charged over $100,000 for some lifts, but I came to find out those lifts were no different than the others I saw in fellowship, they just took much longer. That was an excellent example of a perceived value, patients thought it was better because it cost more. 
The cost of the lift should be based on the amount of procedure necessary to meet your individual needs. 
You should be able to see lots of before and after photos from your surgeon, you should be able to call other patients who have had the procedure, and your surgeon should have a good reputation with his or her physician colleagues and patients. 
Fellowship training is important, surgeons simply do not perform enough cases in residency. A plastic surgeon may have seen (not performed) 5 facelifts in residency training and be board certified, as there is no minimum on that individual procedure, but a fellowship trained surgeon will likely have added 40-50 or more facelifts to that baseline training. There is no substitute for the focused fellowship training. 
Fellowship training for me means that I trained on a large number of procedures and learned to approach rejuvenation in many different ways. That means each lift I perform is different and individualized. It also means each is proficient and efficient, allowing the use of local anesthesia only when appropriate. 
Facelifts utilizing mainly local anesthesia, often with some mild to moderate sedation, mean safer procedures and faster recovery at home versus staying in the hospital, but they take a skilled surgeon to perform. 
To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties.

Thank you for your
question. Prices vary depending on surgeon and location. Roughly around $6,000. I would advise you to
schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed
examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your
expectations are. 

A mini lift under local anesthesia with oral sedation can cost $5k.  Make sure it's a procedure that involves SMAS manipulation for long lasting effect. 

This is a great question and a lot of surgeons hate answering this question because there are a wide variety of surgical and nonsurgical options and combination procedures. Additionally, it really depends on which areas are bothering you specifically.  The prices also vary widely depending on what part of the country you're from. The usual range is anywhere from a few thousand dollars for non-board-certified plastic surgeons to up to $50,000.
A Mini Facelift in our office starts at $5000.  Our price includes all surgical fees, private transportation, 3 scar laser treatments after surgery, and post op massage therapies to help you heal quicker and optimally .
More definitive pricing can be provided after a private consultation in our office.  I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of mini facelifts and neck lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. 
I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.  

We offer a couple different options for a mini-lift. The first option is to be done in our office under local anesthesia, this procedure typically takes about 3.5 hours and can be done in combination with a blepharoplasty or by itself, the cost for that is right around $6,000. The second option is to be done at an out patient surgical center under general anesthesia and again can be combined with another procedure or done by itself.  Because of the cost of the room and anesthesiologist, the price for this option is right around $8,750. We also offer another option that produces amazing results similar to a mini-lift called J-Plasma. This is a fairly new technique that we are excited to bring to the Grand Valley.
