I want a neck lift. What is the cost?

New York can be an expensive place to have surgery, based on the market.  I have seen prices from $8000-$20,000 in the city.  My advice is not to shop based on price however, but to find a surgeon within your price range with whom you feel comfortable and have a good relationship.  Best of Luck.

Thank you for your question, Eleanor Mary. The cost of a Necklift varies by the type of procedure and the surgeon. I suggest that you narrow your search not primarily by cost but primarily by the surgeon's experience, number/quality of testimonials, location and, of course, board certification. While cost is certainly a factor, it is important for patients to keep in mind that their cosmetic procedures are investments. Best wishes,

A necklift is a great way to improve the contour of the neck and remove extra fat. It is important to see a facial specialist to make sure you are getting everything you need with the necklift. Go in for some consultations and look at a lot photos. See who you feel comfortable with. The average cost may be between $6000 and $10,000 dollars, but don't base your decision only on cost.

Neck lifts are so easy to undergo under local and make such a wonderful improvement in one's life. Some patients only need a platysmaplasty which is a under the chin surgery for $6500 and others need a lower face/neck lift which fixes the jawline/jowls and neck together for roughly $12,000 for quality work. Incisions are hidden so nicely and the resulting look is so natural with a fast recovery time. Sincerely, David Hansen,MD

This depends on the region you live in.  In St Louis a mini-facelift and necklift can be done in the office under local anesthesia for about 5500$.  A more aggressive full facelift and necklift requires general aneshesia, but can be done for about 14-16,000$.  I would think these prices may be higher on the East and West coast. 

These are great questions you are asking. The
cost of a neck lift is dependent on a few factors in my practice. They
are:

1) Facility Fee
2) Anesthesia Fee
3) Surgeon’s Fee

I will talk about each of them.

The facility fee is cost paid to the location
where is surgery is performed. This covers all of the supplies, instruments,
and staff that will take care of you. This can be an outpatient surgery center
or hospital.

The anesthesia fee is the monies paid to cover
the cost of the medical person suppling the anesthesia and supplies.

The surgeon's fee is paid to your neck lift
surgeon. It covers all of your office visits before and after surgery and the
surgery. This fee will change based on the amount of work and difficultly of
the minilift. Revision surgery generally will be more expensive.

Generally speaking a neck lift can vary
from 7,500 to 10,500 dollars.

Costs depend upon several variables- surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee, facility fee, and frequently a private duty nurse to monitor the patient early postoperatively.  Patient safety comes with a cost, which is quite variable in New York City.Many patients benefit from a facelift for the best neck results and not necessarily an isolated Necklift.

Unfortunately this is a very difficult question to answer. This is because the fees very so widely from one surgeon to the next, and depending upon the techniques used an operative time.The best advice I can give:#1–only see a board certified plastic or facial plastic surgeon#2 do not base your decision on cost only. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This is a surgical procedure, and you don't want to be compromising the safety and result simply to save money. In the long run that will leave you unhappy or worse!Best of luck!Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA

The answer to your question depends on your plastic surgeon's fee, facility fee, and anesthesia fee. The cost can also vary significantly geographically.  On RealSelf, the average fee of reported patients is $7,850. This would be for neck lift alone and would not include lower facelift or liposuction.  Neck lift is often combined with   other facial procedures for optimal results.  I would focus on finding the best plastic surgeon you can for best results. Some bargains turn out not to be bargains in the long run. Many offices offer Care Credit financing to help make surgery more affordable.  Best of luck.  

Neck Lift if a general term.  The procedure can be performed alone or as part of a lower facelift or a full facelift.  Costs can vary depending on which procedure is being performed, what type of anesthesia is required and what type of after care is involved.  There are different fees to also consider when planning surgery, including the surgeon's fee, anesthesia fee and a facility fee or operating room fee.  Recovery is also important as nursing care may also be required or suggested or desired depending on how extensive of surgery you are undergoing.  Prices can vary depending on geographic location and the surgeon performing the procedure.  I would suggest not to bargain hunt for surgical procedures, but schedule a consultation, review your concerns and set up a surgical plan based on your budget - doing different procedures in series if needed instead of all at the same time if that is not possible.  Good Luck.
