If you’ve been researching facial rejuvenation surgery and have decided that a deep plane facelift is your goal, you already know it isn’t the “standard facelift” you may be familiar with—and the pricing reflects that. Patients seeking deep plane facelifts are often surprised when they start contacting surgeons and hear price ranges that vary by tens of thousands of dollars. But why do the prices vary so widely? The answer comes down to far more than just the procedure itself. From your chosen surgeon’s level of specialization to the way the surgery is performed and what’s included before and after, there are specific reasons that the surgical price tag is different everywhere.
In this blog, we’ll go over what factors into the total cost of your deep plane facelift at Facial Plastic Surgery Associates so you can better understand and plan for your procedure.
Average Deep Plane Facelift Costs
When researching the cost of a deep plane facelift, you’ll find a wide range of pricing.
Your procedure cost depends on a variety of factors, including:
Surgeon’s Fees
When searching for a surgeon to perform your deep plane facelift, you’ll want to ensure that they’re the best. Some of the things you should look for in a deep plane facelift surgeon include:
- Board certification
- Reputation and reviews
- Experience and expertise
Dr. Sean Delaney is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who focuses solely on face and neck procedures.
Anesthesia and Facility Fees
A deep plane facelift is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation in a hospital or private surgical facility. Anesthesia must be administered and monitored by a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) or an anesthesiologist. Depending on the location of your surgery, facility fees cover the use of the surgical suite, associated equipment, and staff.
FPSA has its own fully accredited onsite surgical center.
Geographic Location
The location of your facial plastic surgeon significantly affects the cost of your deep plane facelift. Major cities and areas with a strong demand for cosmetic surgery often command higher costs. However, these regions also tend to offer access to highly skilled surgeons and top-tier care.
The average cost of a deep plane facelift in Houston ranges from $18,000 to $40,000.
Costs Associated With Deep Plane Facelift Surgery at Facial Plastic Surgery Associates
The overall cost of Dr. Delaney’s signature extended deep plane facelift at Facial Plastic Surgery Associates generally ranges from $22,000 to $24,800. Our deep plane facelift procedures include a neck lift.
The cost also covers:
- Operating room and anesthesia costs (we perform the procedure in our fully accredited operating suite at FPSA)
- Postoperative care visits, including your first hair wash
- Post-surgery care kit
- Complimentary preoperative facial
Below, we explore some of the factors that may influence the cost of your deep plane facelift at FPSA.
Complexity of the Surgery
As everyone’s facial anatomy is different, the cost of your deep plane facelift may vary according to the complexity of your surgery. Some patients may have more significant sagging or skin laxity that requires extensive surgical precision.
You may be surprised to learn that the cost of your deep plane facelift is also affected by your gender. Because male facial structures differ from those of females, male deep plane facelifts generally fall on the higher end of the cost scale.
Type of Deep Plane Facelift Performed
At Facial Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sean Delaney also offers his patients a mini deep plane facelift. This procedure addresses the lower face and neck, eliminating jowls and creating a more defined jawline. A mini deep plane facelift typically costs $16,000 to $17,000.
Additional Cosmetic Procedures
While Dr. Delaney’s extended deep plane facelift includes a neck lift, some patients may need more significant neck correction. A deep plane neck lift at FPSA releases and recontours the underlying structures of the neck, such as the ligaments and platysma muscle, to address loss of jawline definition, neck banding, and skin laxity. Deep plane neck lifts cost $10,000 to $11,000.
Some patients choose to enhance their results by pairing a deep plane facelift with other procedures to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. Popular options include:
- Eyelid surgery: Also known as blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery can address excess, sagging skin, muscle laxity, and under-eye puffiness and bags to restore a more youthful eye appearance. Upper blepharoplasty costs $5,500 to $6,000, while lower blepharoplasty costs $6,500 to $7,000.
- Facial fat transfer: As you age, facial volume naturally decreases. Facial fat transfer uses your own fat to restore volume and youthful definition to your face without synthetic fillers. Facial fat transfer at FPSA costs $2,700 to $6,000, depending on the number of areas treated.
