Frequently asked questions

How much does a facelift cost?

The ASPS average surgeon's fee is $11,395 — surgeon's fee only, not your total bill. ASPS's 2024 average surgeon's fee, up from about $8,005 in 2020. RealSelf's all-in patient-reported average runs higher, around $16,000.

What's the difference between a standard facelift and a deep plane facelift?

Deep plane technique is a distinct, more technically demanding approach that repositions deeper tissue layers rather than just tightening skin. It's priced in a fundamentally different tier — $18,000–$50,000+ versus a standard facelift's $11,395–$16,000 range.

Does a facelift include neck work?

Not automatically — a facelift addresses the mid and lower face; the neck (loose skin, muscle banding, submental fat) is a separate anatomical area often, but not always, addressed in the same surgery. See our neck lift calculator to price the neck component separately or combined.

Why has the ASPS facelift figure risen so much?

ASPS's most recent published surgeon's-fee average is $11,395, up from roughly $8,005 in 2020 — a meaningful multi-year increase, directly and consistently cited across independent sources.
