What determines the price of a facelift?
With age, the facial skin loses its elasticity, healthy color and radiance. Fine wrinkles turn into more noticeable and deeper, facial contours ruthlessly “float”.
Many mature women quite successfully manage to delay appearance of obvious signs of aging with the help of cosmetology and anti-aging drugs. Unfortunately, their effectiveness is temporary, like our youth.
However, cardinal measures came to the aid of female beauty, the most popular of which is the facelift. Facelift helps to get rid of wrinkles, remove excess tissue and give the woman a second youth. However, any method of rejuvenation has its advantages and disadvantages.
Injecting The Patient’s Own Blood Back Into Her Face
The latter include the price. The cost of facelift is formed taking into account many components: the experience of the surgeon, the correction zone, the patient’s condition and operational indications.
The final cost can only be determined by a plastic surgeon. The price of facelift depends on the extent of the affected area – the more changes to be made, the higher the price.
End justifies the means!
The non-surgical method can not give the effect of rejuvenation comparable to plastic surgery. The main advantages of surgical facelift are:
- Visible skin rejuvenation without distortion of facial features;
- Elimination of wrinkles and return of tone to facial muscles;
- Improvement of facial contours;
- Elimination of ptosis of the lower third of the face, lifting of the cheeks.
Of course, all of these features affect the formation of price, as the volume of intervention, the degree of efficiency and technology of the operations are different in each case.
Factors that affect the price
As we have already said, the cost of a facelift depends on many aspects. It includes the qualification of the surgeon, his work, the type of anesthesia, the method of facelift, stay in the hospital.
The final cost of the operation is announced by the surgeon during the consultation. The doctor selects the optimal correction option for the patient, calculates the rehabilitation time, and prescribes postoperative treatment.
The average cost of a facelift is $7,048, according to 2016 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Despite the fact that surgical rejuvenation allows to achieve a long-term effect (up to 10-15 years), unfortunately, signs of aging will sooner or later make felt again.
The age of the patient is another factor, affecting the final cost of the operation. For example, the volume of surgical manipulation, needed by a 35-year-old woman will be different from that of a 55-year-old woman. To understand the expediency of carrying out a facelift, let us recall the indications and contraindications.
Indication for facelift:
- Soft tissue ptosis;
- Expressed wrinkles on the forehead;
- Loss of volume in the cheekbone and cheek areas;
- Flabby neck skin;
- A “double” chin.
Non Surgical Facelift To Remove Wrinkles
Contraindications to facelift:
- Oncology;
- Problems with blood coagulability;
- Presence of diabetes mellitus;
- Problems in the work of the heart;
- Chronic diseases in the stage of exacerbation.
Some patients, having spent a decent amount of money, a week after a circular facelift fall into a panic, not seeing the desired effect.
But you should take into account that the obvious result will be visible only after a few months, and the final one – in a year!
Male Lower Facelift Before And After
At the moment in the arsenal of plastic surgery specialists there are many techniques that can effectively rejuvenate the face of any patient. The methods are differents by impact zones, types of incisions, the type of affected layers and, of course, the price.
SMAS facelift
SMAS facelift allows to achieve a long-term result, and achieve the effect of natural rejuvenation. The cost is around $6-14000 depending on what you want done.
Non Invasive Facelift Results
Recent statistics published by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery indicate that the average physician fee for all types of facelifts combined is $6,607.
Endoscopic facelift
Refers to the number of low-traumatic techniques. During correction, all manipulations are performed through small punctures, so the clinic must be equipped with all the necessary expensive equipment. A facelift can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $15,000 based on the extent of treatment, the geographic location of the practice, and many other factors.
Facelift SOOF
This type of lifting of the middle zone of the face consists in the repeated placement of adipose tissue in the infraorbital zone. This method is well suited for patients with marked signs of age-related changes around the eyelids and in the zygomatic area. Sometimes this type of correction is carried out to patients unsatisfied with the results of blepharoplasty.
MACS-lift
MACS-lifting is also one of the varieties of the SMAS technique. It is aimed at correcting the lower third of the face and neck, improving the contour of the chin. The range can be anywhere from 8,000 to 25,000 dollars.
Temporal lift
Before And After Surgical Removal Of Wrinkles
Correction of the zone of the temples is indicated for patients with sagging of the outer corners of the eyes and lowering of the eyebrows, as well as with “crow’s feet”. The price for this type of surgical rejuvenation starts from 6,000 thousand, and ends at 30,000 dollars.
Such a wide range of prices is due to the fact that temporal lifting can be performed as a separate operation, and may be a component of a circular facelift.
Choosing this or that kind of facelift, to start from only the price is rather unreasonable. The choice of the optimal method of rejuvenation is chosen first of all by the surgeon, but the desires and material possibilities of the patient are certainly taken into account.
