If you’re considering facelift surgery, cost is naturally an important part of your decision. The average price of a facelift in the Boston area is about $16,500, although costs can range from $10,000 to more than $40,000 depending on the technique and surgeon.
As a Harvard-trained, board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 15 years of facelift experience, I believe your procedure should be tailored to you rather than determined by a standard approach or price.
What Affects the Cost of a Facelift?
Facelift pricing can vary significantly from one patient to another. Some of the primary factors include:
| Cost Factor | Why It Matters |
| Extent of surgery | A mini facelift and a more comprehensive facelift involve different levels of correction and surgical time. |
| Combined procedures | Adding a neck lift, extended neck lift, brow lift, or eyelid surgery changes the scope of your surgical plan. |
| Surgeon’s experience | Advanced training and extensive facelift experience may be reflected in the surgeon’s fee. |
| Anesthesia and facility | Costs vary based on anesthesia needs, surgical time, and the facility where your procedure is performed. |
I customize each facelift based on the patient’s facial anatomy and aging pattern, carefully repositioning the underlying tissues to create a natural-looking result. When choosing a plastic surgeon, consider training, experience, safety, and the quality of results rather than price alone.
What’s Included in a Facelift Quote?
Facelift costs may include:
- Surgeon’s fee
- Anesthesia fees
- Hospital or surgical facility costs
- Medical tests
- Prescription medications
- Postsurgical garments
What’s included varies, so be sure you understand exactly what your estimate covers when comparing facelift costs.
How Do People Afford a Facelift?
Because a facelift performed for cosmetic reasons is generally not covered by health insurance, patients typically pay for surgery themselves. Financing can make the expense more manageable by allowing qualified patients to divide the cost into monthly payments.
Our practice accepts CareCredit®, a healthcare credit card that offers financing options for eligible patients. Depending on the plan and your eligibility, CareCredit may allow you to pay for your procedure over time rather than all at once.
