What does a face lift cost?

In 2013, the average face-lift cost $6,556, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This does not include anesthesia or operating room fees. The price of the surgery depends in part on the surgeon's experience and geographic location.

Many charges are involved in getting a face-lift, including the surgeon’s bill, hospital expenses, medical tests, prescriptions and postsurgery garments, the ASPS states. Face-lifts deal with sagging skin, which is part of the aging process, explains Johns Hopkins Medicine. Excess skin is raised up, fat is cleared away, and muscles and connective tissue are tightened. Sometimes, volume is restored with injections of artificial fillers or fat taken from elsewhere on the patient.
