What is a Facelift?
Rhytidectomy or
facelift surgery is designed to restore a more youthful appearance to the face by tightening the facial skin and underlying loose muscles and tissue. With facelift surgery, it is possible take several years off the patient’s face and reduce major wrinkles and sagging facial skin. Many times a facelift
plastic surgery procedure is combined with a neck lift to achieve more consistent looking appearance.
Incisions are made along the hairline to keep them discreet, and the surgeon removes excess skin and fat through the incisions, as well as tightens the underlying muscles and tissue. The tightened skin is then re-draped over the face smoothly to provide a younger looking facial profile. Patients in and around Newport Beach and Orange County, CA may consult with Dr. Seify to learn more about facelift

Cost Components
The cost of any surgical procedure, including a facelift, is a combination of several cost components that may vary from one location to another and even from one practice to another in the same location. Geographical factors can influence the overall cost of procedure to an extent. For instance the cost of a facelift in Newport Beach and Orange County, CA is likely to be different from the cost of the same procedure in Pennsylvania.
This occurs because the cost of living index varies from state to state and even from city to city in some cases. The costs of all goods and services, including surgical services are impacted by this index in a particular area.
The key cost components to be considered in a facelift procedure are as follows:
Surgeon’s Fee
The fee of the
plastic surgeon who performs a facelift procedure will constitute an important part of the overall cost of procedure. The fee charged by the surgeon may depend on his or her skills, experience and reputation in the area of facelift surgery. More demand from patients may mean that the surgeon has limited time, and may charge a higher fee per patient. However, the American Society for Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) recommends that patients should choose the most appropriate surgeon for their needs, and the surgeon’s fee should only be a secondary consideration.
Operating Facility Costs
The costs of the surgical facility where the facelift procedure is performed form a key component of overall costs. A state of the art operating room facility with experienced support staff, having advanced equipment and technology, and providing high quality comforts and services may cost more, which will add to the overall costs of the facelift procedure.
Costs of Anesthesia
The facial
cosmetic surgeon will usually perform the facelift procedure under general anesthesia. The fee of the anesthesiologist and their team is another significant cost component to be considered. For the safety and success of the procedure, the anesthesia team also plays a key role. Therefore, it is advisable to have an experienced operating and anesthesia team in place for this surgery.
Other Costs
When preparing the total cost estimate for the facelift procedure, a patient should also account for costs of any medical tests, prescription medications, and any additional expenses that may be involved.
