Is it right for you?

If you have loose or sagging skin, wrinkled facial areas, or your jowl and neck area are no longer taut, a face lift might be right for you. If you are considering a facelift, it's important to schedule an initial consultation with a plastic surgeon. He or she will evaluation your condition, take photos and measurements, and help you decide if a facelift is right for you. The surgeon will ask questions about your medical history, as well as your reasons for wanting a facelift. It's important to have realistic expectations in regards to the outcome of the surgery. The surgeon might also suggest other procedures that could be done in conjunction with the facelift, or in place of it.

There are different facelift procedures that can be performed, depending on your individual situation. In some cases, a facelift is combined with other procedures, such as an "eye lift" or "brow lift." Facelift prices can vary, depending on the extent of the procedure, the location and the surgeon. However, prices often average $7,000 to $9,000. Because facelifts are a cosmetic procedure, they are rarely covered by health insurance.

Although most people experience satisfactory results, occasionally there can be risks and complications. Scarring, infection or excess bleeding are all possibilities.
