Face Lift Cost
According to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the 2007 national average cost of a face lift was $6,792. This price reflects physician/surgeon fees only, and does not represent the other costs that are associated with facelift surgery. You must also take into account the pricing of surgical facility, anesthesia, location where the procedure is being performed, popularity of the surgeon, the surgical technique used, and various other factors.
Generally, because facelift surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance companies; so don't let that deter you from undergoing this procedure. There are other alternatives to help you pay for your facelift costs. One option to consider is plastic surgery financing.
With financial assistance, a patient can choose a loan and payment plan that is appropriate for him/her, and then pay for the procedure in increments, rather than in one lump sum. If you choose this type of payment plan, you may feel less frustrated and look forward to undergoing face lift surgery without having to pay for the procedure upfront.
