Comparing cost of Macs Facelift.In UK -£6000, in Wellnesskliniek, Belgium €4000 but at Dr Patrick Tonnard's,Belgium its €20,000(Costs inclusive of all medical expenses).Dr Tonnard has pioneered the technique&is an excellent Dr but am confused why for same proceedure cost is 5 times more. Please explain what is reason for such a big difference, is it that Surgeons use different techniques for Macs facelift?Pls also recommend some names of reputed Surgeons in Europe who do the Macs face lift.Thanks,Nita

Answer: MACS Facelift cost factors
As others have explained, it is the experience and skill of the surgeon together with what the market will bear. Dr Tonnard has written a book on the subject and responsible for popularizing the technique by lecturing all over the world. Priceless.
On the other hand, I personally charge less than half of his charge and perform approximately 100 MAC facelifts a year, without drains making it quite affordable for most.
Other factors influencing cost include:
1. Location - Will it be performed in a hospital with an overnight stay, an independent out- patient facility or a doctors office?
2. Type of Anesthesia - local, IV sedation or General Anesthesia? Will a board certified anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist be used, or an RN?
