The cost of a facial can vary depending upon the extent of your concern. An experienced cosmetic surgeon should be consulted when choosing a doctor to perform your facelift. A facelift can also help improve the appearance of sagging skin. These are some tips that will help you figure out how much it will cost. You can read on to find out about the process and what you can expect. And remember, the more you know about the facelift procedure, the less expensive it will be.
SMAS lifts eliminate jowls
A SMAS facelift, also known as an SMAS rhytidectomy, is a surgical procedure that tightens the skin and repositions the underlying muscles to address the sagging of the lower two-thirds of the face. The SMAS membrane causes cheek volume loss. The procedure removes jowls and can also reduce the signs of aging.

Mini facelifts target sagging skin
Some patients may not be able to undergo a full facelift, even though it can reduce years off your appearance. A mini-facelift is designed to address the wrinkles and sagging skin of the lower face and is usually less invasive that a full one. You can expect shorter recovery times, fewer scarring and less downtime. A standard facelift is more expensive than this one.
Facelift complications
While there are some potential complications to a facelift surgery, they are usually minor and will resolve themselves in a few days. Although they are quite common, swelling andbruising can be minimal. You should rest for the first four to six days following surgery. Avoid heavy lifting, exercise, and sex. Your head might need to be elevated for a few nights after surgery. Your pain medication will be prescribed to manage any swelling or pain. Your face will likely feel red and bruised. If you need to conceal scarring, make sure you have enough makeup.
The out-of-pocket cost of a facelift
The cost of a facelift can be significant. The surgeon and facility may charge you a fee for the gown and gloves, as well as the use of scalpels and needles. You might need to pay for prescription drugs and bandages while you recover. There may also be additional charges for anesthesia monitoring. There are ways to reduce these costs.
