How much is a deep plane facelift per month with financing?

Financed over 24 months at a 0% introductory APR, a $50,000 US deep plane facelift costs roughly $2,083/month; a $12,000 medical-tourism option is about $500/month. Most US surgeons partner with CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, or Prosper Healthcare Lending, which offer 6–24 month 0%-interest plans for qualified applicants and longer fixed-APR terms (typically 9.99–17.99%) beyond that. Always confirm whether the quote includes anesthesia and facility fees before financing.

How much cheaper is a deep plane facelift abroad?

A deep plane facelift can cost 50–80% less outside the United States while maintaining equivalent surgical quality when performed by a board-certified surgeon. Turkey: $8,000–$12,000 (top Istanbul clinics). Colombia: $6,000–$9,000. Thailand: $7,000–$10,500. Brazil: $8,000–$11,000. Mexico: $6,500–$9,500. South Korea: $8,000–$18,000. UK: $15,000–$28,000. The cost savings reflect lower overhead and labor costs — not lower quality — when the surgeon's credentials are verified. Additional costs for medical travel: flights ($500–$2,000), accommodation ($2,000–$5,000 for 2–3 weeks), and recovery support.

What is included in a deep plane facelift price quote?

A complete deep plane facelift quote should include: (1) Surgeon's fee (usually 50–65% of total — this is the primary quality indicator); (2) Anesthesiologist fee (10–15%); (3) Surgical facility/hospital fee (15–20%); (4) Pre-operative blood work and medical clearance; (5) Post-operative follow-up visits (usually 2–3 visits at 1 week, 1 month, 6 months). Not always included but often necessary: overnight stay if general anesthesia is used ($500–$2,000/night), medical-grade compression garments ($100–$300), lymphatic drainage massages (5–10 sessions at $80–$200/session), prescription medications. Always ask for an itemized quote to compare total costs fairly.

Does insurance cover a deep plane facelift?

No. A deep plane facelift is an elective cosmetic procedure and is not covered by health insurance in the United States or most other countries. Insurance only covers facelift procedures when deemed medically necessary — which essentially never applies to cosmetic facelifts. Some patients use HSA/FSA funds for pre/post-op care (medications, medical clearance, wound care), but the surgery itself is an out-of-pocket expense. Medical financing options are available through providers like CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, and Prosper Healthcare Lending, typically offering 0% interest for 12–24 months.

Why does a deep plane facelift cost more than a traditional facelift?

A deep plane facelift costs 30–50% more than a standard SMAS facelift because: (1) Longer surgery time — deep plane procedures take 4–6 hours vs. 2–3 hours for a standard lift, increasing anesthesia costs; (2) Surgeon specialization — not all plastic surgeons perform deep plane; those who do have subspecialty training and charge accordingly; (3) Higher facility complexity — deeper dissection near facial nerves requires specialized monitoring equipment; (4) Lower revision rates — the 10–15 year longevity means fewer revision surgeries over a lifetime, making the higher upfront cost cost-effective. Per year of results: deep plane ($50,000 ÷ 15 = $3,333/year) vs SMAS ($10,000 ÷ 6 years = $1,667/year) vs mini-lift ($7,000 ÷ 3 years = $2,333/year).

How much does a mini deep plane facelift cost?

A mini deep plane facelift (limited deep plane lower face and neck lift) costs $8,000–$20,000 in the United States, compared to $35,000–$75,000 for a full deep plane facelift. The lower cost reflects shorter surgery time (2–3 hours vs. 4–6 hours), smaller incision pattern, and more limited dissection. Best suited for patients in their late 40s–early 50s with early-to-moderate jowling and neck laxity who do not yet need full midface repositioning. Internationally: Turkey $5,000–$8,000, Colombia $4,000–$6,000, Brazil $5,500–$8,000.

How much did Kris Jenner's deep plane facelift cost?

Kris Jenner's 2025 deep plane facelift by Dr. Steven Levine in New York City reportedly cost $150,000–$300,000 according to tabloid reports (RadarOnline, The Telegraph). This celebrity-tier pricing reflects Dr. Levine's premium positioning, private hospital stay, around-the-clock nursing, laser resurfacing add-ons, and a privacy/availability surcharge. For context, Dr. Levine's base deep plane facelift fee is approximately $80,000–$120,000 — still among the highest in New York. Standard deep plane facelifts by board-certified surgeons in the same city start at $75,000–$150,000.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost?

A deep plane facelift in the United States costs $35,000–$300,000. Most board-certified specialists charge $35,000–$75,000; top New York and Beverly Hills surgeons charge $75,000–$150,000; celebrity-tier procedures reach $300,000. Internationally: Turkey $8,000–$12,000, Colombia $6,000–$9,000, Thailand $7,000–$10,500, Brazil $8,000–$11,000. The procedure costs more than a standard facelift due to longer surgery time (4–6 hours), surgeon specialization, and the 10–15 year longevity of results.

Quick Answer

What is the cheapest state to get a deep plane facelift?

In the United States, Midwest and Southeast states (Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee) offer deep plane facelifts starting at $35,000–$60,000 — vs. $75,000–$150,000 in Beverly Hills and New York City. However, low price often signals lower volume; always verify the surgeon performs 100+ facelifts/year using the deep plane technique specifically.

Cost Per Year: Is Deep Plane Worth It?

Because a deep plane facelift lasts 10–15 years vs. 5–7 years for a standard SMAS facelift, the annual cost of results is often lower despite the higher upfront price:

Technique	Upfront	Longevity	Cost / Year
Deep Plane	$50,000	15 years	$3,333
SMAS Facelift	$10,000	6 years	$1,667
Skin-only Lift	$6,000	3 years	$2,000
Thread Lift	$3,500	1–2 years	$2,333

Based on US national average pricing (~$50,000 deep plane). The 15-year longevity keeps deep plane cost/year competitive despite the higher upfront investment.
