The advanced techniques I use during a deep plane facelift rejuvenate the deeper facial layers, creating more dramatic and longer-lasting results than a traditional facelift. Does that mean it will cost more than a typical facelift? Although the cost of any cosmetic surgery procedure depends on several factors, the price range of a deep plane facelift can be especially wide because I customize each surgery.
How Much Does a Deep Plane Facelift Cost?
The aesthetic review site RealSelf reports that the cost of a deep plane facelift ranges from $8,900 to $50,000, averaging about $22,600. However, as I’ll discuss in detail later in this post, a host of factors affect the cost of a deep plane facelift, so your price will likely differ.
What Is a Deep Plane Facelift?
The deep plane facelift is the gold standard for facelift surgery. I specialize in this procedure, which tightens skin and tissue around the jawline and chin and improves the mid-face area. What sets the deep plane approach apart from a traditional (SMAS) facelift is two-fold:
- The release of ligaments that anchor the deep layers of connective tissue and fat
- The lifting and repositioning of the skin and SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer together
This technique avoids putting tension on the overlying skin to create more natural-looking results.
Factors Influencing the Cost of a Deep Plane Facelift
Surgeon’s Expertise
Your surgeon’s skill and experience play a crucial role in determining the cost of a deep plane facelift. As a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in the Boston area since 2009, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My specialized training in aesthetic surgery and position as a former clinical instructor at Harvard’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital have helped establish my reputation for excellent facelift results.
Complexity of the Procedure
A deep plane facelift requires advanced facelifting techniques, producing longer-lasting and more natural-looking results. This advanced procedure requires a high level of surgical skill and precision, and its complexity is reflected in its cost.
Geographical Location
The cost of a deep plane facelift can vary depending on where you have the procedure done. In a major metropolitan area like Boston, prices may be higher than in smaller cities or rural areas.
Facility and Anesthesia Fees
The cost of a deep plane facelift typically includes not just the surgeon’s fee but also the fees for the surgical facility and anesthesia. Our Hingham location on Boston’s South Shore includes a surgical suite staffed by board-certified anesthesia providers and accredited by QUAD A (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities), the exemplar for safety.
Additional Procedures
Many patients combine their deep plane facelift with other procedures, such as eyelid surgery or brow lift, which can affect the overall cost. I tailor the treatment plan to meet your individual aesthetic goals.
Choosing a Plastic Surgeon
While the cost of a deep plane facelift is an important consideration, it’s crucial to prioritize the quality and safety of your procedure. You should consider the extent of the surgeon’s training, board certification, and how much experience they have performing deep plane facelifts before making your decision.
Long-Term Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift
When considering the cost of a deep plane facelift, it’s important to think about the long-term value. This advanced technique produces results that last 10 years or more, making it a worthwhile investment in your appearance and self-confidence.
