How much does a deep plane facelift cost?

Pricing for a good deep plane facelift is usually $65,000 and more. People are often surprised by this, but they haven’t realized many surgeons advertise a “deep plane,” when in reality they’re operating much more superficially. And when they don’t get the real results, it costs more in time, healing and money to fix it.

In this patient’s case, Jessica, 60 years young, wasn’t chasing a dramatic transformation. She didn’t have the degree of laxity or hollowing that many patients experience, even those younger than her — genetics and a healthy lifestyle had kept her looking youthful. What she wanted instead was something subtle, particularly in her lower face. She knew the value of a well performed surgery by doing lots of research to find Dr. Sadati with vast before and after photos resonating with her desires regardless of the cost. Since she had friends who had poor results by choosing less expensive surgeons.

Together with Dr. Sadati, she decided to have a deep plane facelift, fat grafting and CO2 laser resurfacing, all under IV sedation. Instead of tightening up her skin, this approach involved releasing the ligaments holding the SMAS and moving the underlying tissue as a whole. In effect, she got a vertical facelift along the path of gravity rather than against it.

Six months later, she looks refreshed and vibrant, and there’s no backsliding. That’s the difference between a deep plane facelift and a fake one. And more than price, it’s the skill of the surgeon that matters here. A surgeon who has performed a surgery thousands of times has encountered many issues that need to figure out and that is called expertise and priceless.
