Factors Affecting the Cost of Facelift Surgery
As stated earlier, certain factors affect the cost of facelift surgery. Here’s a look at the popular reasons why you see a difference in the range of facelift costs across the world:
-
Location of the clinic
Urban or rural locations can bring a cost difference, in addition, private, high-end facilities can have higher costs in comparison to smaller or public clinics.
-
Surgeon’s fee for the surgery
This is mainly dependent on the experience and reputation of the surgeon.
-
Type of facelift
Mini facelifts are less expensive than full facelifts and deep plane facelifts can be more expensive than both due to the use of advanced techniques.
-
Pre-operative and post-operative care you experience
Medical tests, medications, follow-up appointments and other post-operative garments or supplies can increase the overall cost.
-
Anaesthesia type
General or local anaesthesia can add up to the overall cost, but this depends on the procedure and is usually included in the package.
The type of anaesthesia such as general or local can affect the overall cost - this is usually a part of an all-inclusive package.
-
Facility fees
Associated fees such as for the recovery area, operating room and other hospital services
-
Combining procedures
Such as neck lifts or brow lifts can increase the overall cost of the surgery
Pre- and Post-Surgery Medical Tests for Facelift
Medical tests are important for such surgeries as they help the surgeon know your current state and ensure your vitals are stable for the surgery.
Pre-surgery tests you can expect:
-
Medical history and physical examination
-
Blood tests to detect blood clotting issues, infections and overall health condition
-
Medication review where you inform your surgeon of all the medications you take - including vitamins, herbal supplements or over-the-counter medications.
-
Facial examination for examining the bone structure, skin quality, facial shape and fat distribution.
Post-surgery tests:
-
Follow-up appointments that include regular check-ups with your surgeon to monitor healing and address any issues
-
Imaging to assess the healing process and address complications which may develop
-
Addressing complications to diagnose and treat any potential complications such as nerve damage or skin loss.
Recovery
The recovery is easy when you follow your surgeon’s instructions. Complete recovery depends on the type of surgery you’re undergoing (minor or major) and any complications that may occur during this time.
Mild complications include:
-
Discomfort
-
Bruising
-
Swelling
Recovery can take a few weeks to up to a year for minor bruising, tightness or numbness to resolve.
