1. What is the average cost of face lift surgery?

Every patient is different and once we have had an opportunity to evaluate them in the office a specific individualized treatment plan is devised. The surgical fee is based on the number of procedures planned, and the length of time anticipated for the surgery. As a rule, the fees for a face lift can range from $4,500 to $8,500.


2. Do you tighten the drooping muscles?

Yes, we address laxity in all layers.


3. Will a face lift help the dark circles and bags under my eyes?

No, but a blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) may help to correct the fat pads. A proper skin care regimen can help lighten dark circles.


4. Why is a revision face lift more difficult than a first-time face lift?

Because there is scar tissue that has developed that may result in a more difficult dissection and more bleeding.


5. Do I go home after plastic surgery?

Yes. You can go home after plastic surgery.


6. When can I "work out"?

For most major facial surgical procedures we recommend a one month hiatus from strenuous activity such as jogging or other cardio work outs. Light weight training is usually okay within two weeks.
