Is There a Residency Program at UCSF (San Francisco) for Facelifts?

      Depending upon what you need, you may be able to find a plastic surgeon with very reasonable prices on a facelift.  In addition, some residents or fellows by the end of their training have done dozens of facelifts.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

There are options available to have facial aesthetic surgery performed by trainees at a lower price. There are also board certified surgeons who offer cheap facial plastic surgery. In both cases, there is a reason why the procedure is cheaper and that is typically a lack of experience. If you choose to have surgery by a resident or fellow, the question you need to ask is who will be supervising the surgery and is it worth the risk? An "affordable" plastic surgery can become very expensive if you need a revision procedure down the line. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSWeber Facial Plastic Surgery
