Mid facelift is an elective cosmetic surgery procedure designed to create a youthful and smooth appearance of the cheeks and mid face. The costs of a mid facelift are not likely to be covered by insurance in most cases. Therefore, it is important for a patient to consider the costs involved while planning for a mid facelift surgery.
During the pre-op consultation, the surgeon will discuss the mid facelift techniques and any additional facial procedures, and apprise the patient of the costs involved. The first goal of a committed surgeon will be to educate the patient about all aspects, including the costs, in order to help the patient make a well-considered choice.
Outstanding and board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides mid facelift and other innovative and advanced procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations in The Silver State.
Financial Factors
The costs of mid facelift can vary from one practice to another and even from one patient to another at a particular practice. Several factors are responsible for this:
Type of Surgical Technique
Mid facelift plastic surgery can usually be performed using the traditional surgical technique or the endoscopic technique. The endoscopic technique is more advanced and may produce more targeted results in a less invasive manner. The sticker price of the two techniques can marginally vary, depending on the pricing policy of a particular practice.
Extent of Surgery
Mid facelift will typically involve subtle elevation of the muscle tissue in the cheek area and the area below lower eyelids. However, depending on the patient’s condition, additional procedures such as cheek implants, facial fat transfer, facial liposuction or dermal filler injections may be combined with the surgery.
Some cases may be complicated, requiring a longer time to perform the procedure. The actual price of the procedure can vary from one patient to another depending on the extent and length of surgery to be performed.
Surgeon’s Expertise
The fee of a fully trained and experienced surgeon may be higher than that of a less qualified or new surgeon working under the supervision of a senior surgeon. Patients should select the surgeon after evaluating their professional credentials and board certification.
Board certified plastic surgeons typically invest in high quality standards and best practices, adopt cutting edge surgical techniques and technology, pursue continuing education, and follow the latest safety protocols in order to deliver the best outcomes in every case.
Key Financial Components
The patient should be aware of the various cost components that will go into determining the final cost of mid facelift surgery. They should consider all the financial ramifications, including the seemingly minor post-surgical expenses:
- Costs of anesthesia
- Surgical room costs
- Surgeon’s fee
- Pre- and post-op medical tests
- Compression garment
- Prescription medications
- Post-operative visits to the surgeon’s office
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients should choose the best surgeon for their needs, and elements such as the surgeon’s fee should only be secondary considerations.
