March 31, 2025 | Extended Deep Plane Facelift
5 minute read
Over time, your skin loses its bounce and firmness, causing dreaded sagging and wrinkles around your cheeks, jawline, and neck. To fix these concerns, some people opt for a traditional facelift, while others find an Extended Deep Plane Facelift appealing. Irrespective of the type of procedure, the biggest question patients ask about these two options is, “How much will it cost me?”
In this blog, we’ll break down the prices of an Extended Deep Plane Facelift and a Multi-Vector Plane Facelift, explaining what factors influence the final cost for each procedure.
How Much Is an Extended Deep Plane Facelift?
The Extended Deep Plane Facelift costs between $20,000 and $25,000 at Facial Plastic Surgery Associates. This price reflects the advanced technique Dr. Sean Delaney uses, similar to Dr. Russell Kridel’s approach, which gives you a naturally younger look without that “pulled” appearance. Unlike standard facelifts that only address surface issues, this method works on deeper tissues for natural-looking results that last.
The fee covers both the complex procedure and the personal care you’ll receive throughout your journey. Your surgery will also include platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), where Dr. Delaney uses platelets from your own blood drawn right before your procedure. This helps your face heal faster and often improves your final results.
How Much Is a Multi-Vector Plane Facelift?
The Multi-Vector Plane Facelift, also coined the “MVP” Lift, runs between $30,000 and $35,000 at FPSA. This procedure does way more than standard SMAS facelift options. It tackles all the saggy areas from just under your eyes down through your lower neck. This approach also includes platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP). Most people love that it’s basically two treatments in one—a facelift and a neck lift combined.
Dr. Kridel has perfected and refined this multi-vector, multi-plane surgery technique himself after thousands of happy patients and proven results. You’ll still be you—just a refreshed, younger-looking version without that obvious “I got work done” appearance.
With his “invisible incision” method, Dr. Kridel hides the incisions so well along your natural skin lines that even your hairdresser won’t spot them. Many of our patients love that they can go back to their lives without anyone knowing they’ve had a procedure unless they choose to share it themselves.
What Is Included in the Cost of a Facelift?
Both the MVP Lift and Extended Deep Plane Facelift are complete packages that cover everything you need to get your desired results. Your procedure payment includes all these services with no surprise fees later:
- Operating room and anesthesia costs at Facial Plastic Surgery Associates
- Surgical fees for Dr. Kridel or Dr. Delaney
- PRP processing using your own blood to enhance healing
- Post-operative care visits, including your first hair wash
- Post-surgery care kit with all necessary supplies
- Around-the-clock access to your surgical team
- Pre-operative facial by our Medical Aesthetician
What makes these procedures worth the investment is that they’re comprehensive facial rejuvenation treatments. This means that each procedure combines a facelift, neck lift, platysmaplasty (tightening of neck muscles), and PRP treatment into one seamless approach. These components work together to create natural, lasting results that address aging throughout your face and neck, not just one isolated area.
What Influences the Cost of a Facelift?
Not all facelifts are created equal, and you can expect to pay different prices depending on several factors. Here’s what influences the final cost of your procedure:
Surgeon’s Expertise
More experienced surgeons with specialized training and extensive experience can command higher fees, reflecting their advanced skills and consistent results. Dr. Delaney and Dr. Kridel are board-certified facial plastic surgery specialists recognized throughout Houston and beyond for their expertise focused exclusively on facial procedures. They have published extensively in scientific medical journals and presented at medical conferences on facial rejuvenation and facial aesthetic procedures.
Operating Room Fees
Basic surgical settings cost less than advanced facilities with the latest technology. FPSA’s AAAHC-certified, state-of-the-art surgical center adds to the total investment but significantly improves safety and results for each patient’s specific case.
Anesthesia Services
Anesthesia costs vary based on provider qualifications and procedure length. We only work with certified anesthesia specialists who focus on facial procedures, which significantly reduces risks for our patients.
Pre and Post-Operative Care
Comprehensive care before and after surgery affects overall pricing. This includes consultation visits, follow-up appointments, medications, and recovery supplies. Our goal is to make everything run smoothly to reduce stress on your part. Patients tell us they love how we handle all the details, allowing them to focus solely on healing while we manage the rest for both their comfort and exceptional long-term results. No other cosmetic surgery practice in Houston delivers the level of pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care as Facial Plastic Surgery Associates. We treat patients as members of our own families.
Combined Aesthetic Procedures
Patients often combine other procedures with a facelift, such as a brow lift, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), CO2 laser skin resurfacing, and facial fat transfer. Having one recovery period can be a great benefit. During your consultation, you will discuss your aesthetic goals with Dr. Delaney or Dr. Kridel, and a treatment plan will be designed specifically for you.
