Anyone enquiring about the cost of a facelift usually gets the same answer: it depends on the individual case. The reason is that a facelift is not a single procedure, but a combination of techniques tailored to each person\u2019s anatomy. At Dr Richard Fakin\u2019s clinic, the face and neck lift<\/a> It is drawn up on the basis of an individual assessment. This article explains what elements make up the quote and what you should ask during the initial consultation.<\/p>\n\n

What is a facelift and what determines its cost? A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that repositions the skin and deep tissues of the face and, if necessary, the neck, to correct sagging. The cost depends on the areas treated, the technique used, the type of anaesthesia and any additional procedures carried out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Why is there no standard price for a facelift?<\/h2>\n\n

Every facelift is tailor-made, and the quote is calculated based on that design. Two people with sagging skin may require very different procedures.<\/p>\n\n

Before each procedure, Dr Fakin\u2019s team carries out an assessment of the patient\u2019s anatomy and bone structure. This assessment takes into account the patient\u2019s age, skin type and individual anatomical characteristics. Based on this information, a personalised surgical plan is drawn up, and the quote reflects what is included in that plan.<\/p>\n\n

What factors determine the cost of a facelift?<\/h2>\n\n

The cost depends on five main factors: the areas treated, the type of facelift, the anaesthesia, any additional procedures, and any other operations carried out as part of the same procedure.<\/p>\n\n

The areas being treated<\/h3>\n\n

The procedure may focus on the face or also include the neck. When both areas are treated, the procedure is known as a cervicofacial lift. Including the neck broadens the scope of the procedure, as this area is directly linked to the jaw and the contour of the lower third of the face.<\/p>\n\n

The type of facelift<\/h3>\n\n

During the consultation, we assess which type of facelift is most suitable: an open facelift with minimal scarring, a mini facelift or a more extensive facelift. A mini facelift treats more limited areas. A more extensive facelift addresses more widespread changes to the face and neck.<\/p>\n\n

In the technique described by the clinic, the surgeon works beneath the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system), a layer of tissue that supports the skin and facial muscles. This allows the skin and facial muscles to be repositioned to redefine the contours, rather than simply tightening the skin. This approach is also known as a deep-plane facelift.<\/p>\n\n
