Cost of Mini Lift for Under the Chin ?

Question

How much does a Mini Lift cost for the loose skin under my chin? I have a double chin that's not too bad; but bad enough to make me feel unhappy when I look at it.

Sam Speron, MD, FACS · Answer

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.  Is it just the neck? Also the jowls?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 Neck Lift in our office is $4000.  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 facelifts & 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.

"For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.

With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, Halo, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, PiXel8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

1. Microneedling and laser treatments for texture
2. Botox, Dysport, Xeomin or Jeuveau to help platysmal bands
3. Intensif, Fractora, PiXel8, or Morpheus8 microneedling RF for crepey skin and lifting
4. Injectable fillers like Belotero, Restylane Silk, Versa, and Juvederm Volbella to improve lines and folds
5. Face/neck lifting if sagging is prominent or premature, with or without platysmaplasty (muscle tightening)
6. Renuvion (J-Plasma), ThermiRF, and InMode FaceTite/AccuTite for internal tightening
7. Ultherapy and Thermage for external tightening
8. Regular Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra, or InMode Forma treatments with facials to maintain tightness
9. PDO NovaThreads or Silhouette InstaLift cone threads for lifting and long-term collagen production

See an expert for a formal evaluation and to develop a personalized treatment plan based on your individual situation and goals. Best, Dr. Emer"

Skin under the chin can be deceiving to many people.  Most people think they can get a mini neck lift or necklift alone for this area.  In reality, most people need a combination of a minifacelift with or without volume to address this.As we age, we lose volume in the face which causes skin to 'pool' under the chin; we also lose elasticity in the face and neck which causes the skin to sag in this area.  Depending on your age and the way you have been aging, you may need one or both to address.

Ours costs between 6000 to 8000 depending upon whether it is 1) performed in the office under local anesthesia or at a surgery center with general anesthesia, 2) performed with or without a submentoplasty.
Our lift is mini, but it is still has real results, so we expect patients to be at home for 1 week. Be wary of claims of recovery within a few days as these claims are either exaggerated or not enough surgery was performed to obtain a significant, long-lasting result.

Cost 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 can be strategically and specifically addressed to blur the lines between a mini and full lift, including addressing the neck, which is often the case. 
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.

Hi Angel in the MorningIf your skin is loose, sagging or creating the appearance of jowls you may be a good candidate for Concept™ Facelift Surgery. This type of Rhytidectomy is unique as the facelift is performed under local anaesthetic, and is less invasive than traditional methods, meaning the cosmetic surgery has a significantly faster recovery time.The cosmetic procedure is similar to a mini facelift as it is performed with a short scar that runs in front of the ear, down to the ear lobe and tucked behind the ear. There will be no dressings or drains afterwards. This is performed as a day case, walk in-walk out procedure with minimal bruising and downtime.You may however just be OK with liposuction. However this may not address the loose skin. This may require a neck lift.Make sure you find a qualified and experienced surgeon with whom you can address your concerns and subject to consult they should be able to achieve what you are after.All the best

That lose skin under the chin can usually be removed easily with a platysmaplasty or neck surgery under local anesthesia with a little liposuction included for $6500 and you are back to work in 2 days. Sincerely,
 David Hansen,MD

Visit several of your local plastic surgeons for a full evaluation and quotes. It may be you only need liposuction of your neck which would be a different price than an actual face lift.
