An expertly done facelift is the gold standard for restoring a youthful facial appearance, smoothing facial creases, and taking years off your appearance. However, when considering a facelift, the cost of the procedure is often a concern. In this blog, we’ll go over what factors influence the price of an expert facelift at Aesthetic Surgery Centre so that you can go into the procedure knowing exactly what to expect.

What Goes Into the Cost of a Facelift Procedure?

The facelift is one of the most popular procedures performed at Aesthetic Surgery Centre—and for good reason. Our surgeons offer several customized facelift approaches to address a variety of patient needs and aesthetic goals. With this wide selection comes a range of prices tailored to each patient’s treatment plan. The total cost of a facelift can vary depending on the following factors:

Surgeon’s Fee

Seasoned and board-certified plastic surgeons, such as those at the Aesthetic Surgery Centre, command higher fees for facial plastic surgery due to their expertise, extensive training, and impressive portfolios.

To be frank, a facelift procedure is not the time to be shopping around for a deal. A higher fee usually indicates that a particular surgeon can command such a price. The skill and training required to become a board-certified plastic surgeon help ensure that your facelift procedure will be performed safely and offer the results you desire. The experienced surgeons at Aesthetic Centre are board-certified and highly attuned to the nuances of facial plastic surgery.

Anesthesia Fees

The anesthesia fees for your facelift surgery cover the cost of anesthesia administered during your procedure, as well as the services of the anesthesiologist. Most plastic surgeons perform facelift surgery using general anesthesia administered and monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist, which ensures a safer procedure but also increases the cost. The total cost of your anesthesia fees will depend on the anesthesia provider and the amount of anesthesia required for your facelift.

Surgical Facility Cost

Operating room fees and facility fees vary between hospitals and private surgical centers. Operating room fees cover equipment, staff, and the time you occupy the hospital or surgical center during your procedure. In some cases, your surgeon may have a state-of-the-art surgery center located inside their office, which means the facility costs might already be built into the facelift fee. If so, be sure to confirm that the center is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), which means it meets the highest safety and quality standards.

Medical Tests

Pre-surgical evaluations ensure you’re healthy enough to undergo a surgical facelift. Medical tests prior to a facelift generally include blood work or other screenings that may add to your overall cost.

Medications and Recovery Supplies

Post-surgery prescriptions and other necessary recovery aids will also contribute to your overall facelift costs. A facelift may require fewer supplies than other cosmetic procedures, but be aware of the costs of any specific skincare products recommended by your surgeon, as well as pain medication and incision care.

Additional Cosmetic Procedures

You may wish to add cosmetic procedures to your facelift to enhance your results and achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. Common additions to facelift surgery include an eyelid lift, brow lift, or neck lift, all of which will add to the total cost of your procedure. We also offer a variety of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options, such as Hydrafacial™ treatments and lymphatic massage, at our MedSpa to further enhance your facelift results.

Your Facelift Consultation at Aesthetic Surgery Centre

The only way to get an accurate price for your facelift surgery is to schedule an appointment with one of our plastic surgeons to evaluate your specific needs and talk about your goals for your treatment. During your initial consultation at Aesthetic Surgery Centre, one of our highly trained surgeons will take the time to thoroughly listen to your concerns and aesthetic goals. They will then assess your facial structure and skin condition, and discuss which facelift technique will work best for your needs and desired results.

After a complete evaluation by your plastic surgeon, you will receive a personalized price quote that reflects your customized treatment plan. To give you a general idea, our facelift prices range from a starting point of $12,500 to $17,500, with the final cost dependent on the facelift technique and whether you choose to add other procedures to your surgery.

Options for Financing Your Facelift Surgery

A facelift can come with a significant price tag, but that shouldn’t be a barrier to achieving the refreshed look you truly want. Some plastic surgery patients seek personal loans for their facelift. Many surgeons offer financing options for cosmetic surgery. The Aesthetic Surgery Centre offers Cherry Financing, CareCredit®, and Alphaeon® Credit to help make the facial rejuvenation of your dreams more accessible. Don’t hesitate to ask which financing option might be best for you during your facelift consultation.
