Facelift procedures remain the gold standard for men and women that want to restore their youthful appearance. Before deciding if the procedure is right for you, you will need to consider all of the factors involved. With careful consideration and the help of a skilled surgeon, a facelift can be a long-lasting and worthwhile procedure for many.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the national average physician fee for a facelift procedure in 2018 was about $7,655. It is important to note, this number represents a national average that consists of surgeries performed by surgeons of varying skill sets. Your procedure may cost much more or much less, depending on your specific concerns and goals.Â
What’s Included in a Facelift?
The sole purpose of a facelift is to address the mid-to-lower portion of the face as well as the jawline. Age-related concerns such as facial volume loss, skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and nasolabial folds are targeted. Dr. Craig meticulously works to make a patient look years-younger by lifting and tightening deep facial tissue while also removing excess skin and re-draping it to match his patient’s specific bone structure.Â
A person undergoing a facelift may also want to consider complementary procedures for an additional cost. You might also be interested in other procedures like blepharoplasty, fat injections, or a brow lift in order to achieve total facial rejuvenation. Combination procedures are often performed together in order to produce enhanced anti-aging results. Dr. Mark Craig will speak with you about your goals and options in-depth at the time of your consultation.
What Goes Into the Cost of a Facelift?
There are many factors that can play a role in the price you will pay. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to:Â
- Your Unique Aging Pattern – A facelift can consist of many different procedures on the mid to lower face and even the neck. Addressing mild or moderate concerns early on can be a cost-effective option for some men and women.
- Surgeon’s Experience – A surgeon who routinely performs facelift procedures and is board-certified will charge more for his or her services.
- Anesthesia Costs – Anesthesiologists price their services on a per-hour basis. Choosing a skilled surgeon can prevent complications and also minimize the time your surgery takes.
- Hospital & Facility Fees – Most surgical facilities are priced hourly. Overnight stays will generally be more expensive than outpatient procedures.
- Additional Complementary Procedures – If you and your surgeon agree that the addition of a blepharoplasty, brow lift, or other cosmetic procedure would enhance your final results, this could increase the cost.
At Accent Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, a team of specialists, including Dr. Craig, anesthesiologists, and nurses are committed to making the surgical experience comfortable and individualized for you.

- Compression Garments
