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 $10,000–$12,000, Brazil $10,000–$11,000, Mexico $10,000–$14,000. The procedure costs more than a standard facelift due to longer surgery time (4–6 hours), and surgeon specialization.

Key Takeaway: A typical US quote falls in the $35,000–$75,000 range (midpoint $55,000), against a median country-range midpoint near $18,000. The gap is overhead and labour cost, not surgical quality — what actually predicts the result is technique-specific case volume, so verify that before you compare two quotes.

What a US Deep Plane Facelift Quote Is Made Of

At $55,000 — the midpoint of the typical US range, used here as a worked example rather than a measured median — an all-in quote typically divides like this:

Itemized breakdown of a typical US deep plane facelift quote at the midpoint of the typical US price range
Line item	Share of quote	At the range midpoint
Surgeon's professional fee	55–65%	$30,250–$35,750
Accredited facility / operating room	20–28%	$11,000–$15,400
Anesthesia (4–6 hours, board-certified provider)	8–12%	$4,400–$6,600
Post-op care, garments, follow-up visits	3–7%	$1,650–$3,850

A quote that undercuts the market usually removes one of these lines — a non-accredited facility, a lower-cost anesthesia provider, or no included aftercare. Ask for this exact itemization in writing before comparing two offers.

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.

Deep Plane Facelift Cost Per Month: Financing Options

Most US surgeons partner with CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, Cherry, PatientFi or Prosper Healthcare Lending.

Cherry, PatientFi and Prosper are closed-end loans, where the rate quoted is the rate paid.

Procedure Total	24-mo 0% Promo	60-mo @ 17.99% APR (approx.)
$12,000 (Turkey, all-inclusive)	$500/mo	≈$305/mo

0% promotional terms typically run 6, 12, 18, or 24 months. HSA/FSA funds generally can't cover the surgery itself, but pre/post-op care (medical clearance, medications, wound care) is sometimes eligible.

Why Quoted "Average Facelift Cost" Statistics Mislead Deep Plane Patients

The widely-cited "$8,005 average facelift surgeon's fee" figure (American Society of Plastic Surgeons, 2024) is real but frequently misapplied to deep plane pricing. Two things make it misleading here: (1) it is surgeon-fee-only — it excludes anesthesia (10–15% of the true total) and the surgical facility fee (15–20%); (2) it averages all facelift types — mini lifts and traditional SMAS facelifts included — not the longer, more technically demanding 4–6 hour deep plane procedure specifically.

Patient-reported totals point the same direction from the other side: the community average reported on RealSelf is about $23,697 for a facelift, with a 97% "Worth It" rating — roughly three times the ASPS fee-only statistic, because patients report the all-in bill, not the surgeon's line alone. Neither number isolates the deep plane technique; that is exactly why this page prices it separately, itemized above.

Reconciled: $8,005 (fee-only, all facelift types) vs. $35,000+ (all-in, deep plane specifically). Both figures are accurate for what they measure — they are simply answering different questions.

In the United States, Midwest and Southeast states offer the most affordable deep plane facelifts: Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee typically have surgeon fees starting around $35,000–$60,000, compared to $75,000–$150,000 in Beverly Hills or New York City. However, the least expensive state is not necessarily the best choice — the most important factor is a board-certified surgeon with specific deep plane facelift training and volume (100+ procedures/year). An underprice in a low-demand market can signal a low-volume surgeon; always verify technique-specific experience.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Chicago, Houston, Miami, or Texas?

Deep plane facelift pricing in major US cities outside New York and Beverly Hills generally runs $35,000–$85,000, close to the national board-certified average. Houston and Dallas (Texas) — two of the largest facial-plastics markets in the state — typically see $35,000–$70,000. Chicago and Miami surgeons commonly quote $38,000–$75,000. Washington DC is the most affordable major-metro option, typically $35,000–$65,000. These cities have meaningfully smaller specialist pools than New York (76+ listed deep plane facelift surgeons) or Beverly Hills (68+): Houston has 27+, Chicago 20+, Miami 17+, and Washington DC 7+ listed specialists in DEEPPLANE™'s directory, so confirming technique-specific case volume matters even more before booking outside the two largest hubs.

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: $10,000–$12,000 (top Istanbul clinics). Brazil: $10,000–$11,000. Mexico: $10,000–$14,000. South Korea: $12,000–$30,000. UK: $19,000–$44,000. 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 is available through CareCredit and Alphaeon Credit (cards whose 0% promotions are deferred interest, so an unpaid balance is billed back to the purchase date at 32.99%) and through closed-end lenders such as Cherry, PatientFi and Prosper Healthcare Lending, where no interest is ever charged retroactively.

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. There is no measured cost per year of result for any technique, because no study says how long each lasts for everyone; in one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin 2026), counting only those who returned.

How much does a mini deep plane facelift cost?

A mini deep plane facelift (limited deep plane lower face and neck lift) costs $10,000–$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. On DEEPPLANE™ every deep plane procedure, the mini included, starts at $10,000 in every country.

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. See the full Kris Jenner facelift analysis for procedure timeline and details.

Is $13,000 too much for a deep plane facelift or neck lift?

$13,000 is a reasonable, mid-range quote for a deep plane neck lift or a mini deep plane facelift, and it falls within the lower end of the medical-tourism range for a full deep plane facelift (Turkey $10,000–$12,000, Mexico $10,000–$14,000). It is well below the US board-certified average ($35,000–$75,000). Whether it is 'too much' depends on what exactly is included — ask specifically whether anesthesia, facility fees, and post-op care are itemized separately or already folded into the quote.

How long do deep plane face lifts last?

No study gives one number for everyone. In one surgeon's 30-year series, patients who came back for a second facelift after a deep plane lift did so 10.9 years later on average (Levin 2026); in another surgeon's series of 42 SMAS-flap patients the average was 11.9 years (Sundine 2010). Both count only patients who returned, and they are not a head-to-head comparison: which technique lasts longer is still debated (Khoury 2025).

How much will a facelift cost in 2026?

In 2026, a deep plane facelift in the United States typically costs $35,000–$75,000 with a board-certified specialist, with top New York and Beverly Hills surgeons charging $75,000–$150,000 and celebrity-tier procedures reaching $300,000. Internationally, the same technique costs significantly less: Turkey $10,000–$12,000, Mexico $10,000–$14,000, and South Korea $12,000–$30,000. Traditional (non-deep-plane) facelift techniques run somewhat lower but typically deliver shorter-lasting results.

Is a deep plane facelift better than a regular facelift?

A deep plane facelift generally produces more natural, longer-lasting results than a standard SMAS facelift because it releases and repositions the SMAS layer and deep facial ligaments as a single unit, rather than just tightening the skin over them. It's more technically demanding and typically costs more, but avoids the pulled or windswept look sometimes associated with skin-only techniques.

Why do deep plane facelift quotes range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more for the same procedure?

The spread reflects real differences in surgeon experience, geographic overhead, and what the quote actually includes — not just markup. A $10,000–$15,000 quote is typical for medical-tourism destinations (Turkey, Mexico, Brazil) or a mini/limited procedure; $35,000–$75,000 is the standard US board-certified range; $75,000 and up reflects premium US metro markets (New York, Beverly Hills) or celebrity-tier surgeons. The single biggest source of apparent price variation is whether anesthesia, facility fees, and revision coverage are itemized or bundled — always ask for a full breakdown before comparing two quotes.

What is the best age for a deep plane facelift?

Most deep plane facelift patients are between 45 and 65 — old enough to have moderate-to-significant jowling, midface descent, and neck laxity that justify the procedure's deeper correction, but young enough for a faster recovery and durable result. Patients outside this range can still be good candidates depending on individual anatomy and skin quality.

What are typical facelift surgery prices?

Typical facelift surgery prices in the United States range from $8,000–$20,000 for a mini or limited procedure up to $35,000–$75,000 for a full deep plane facelift, with premium New York and Beverly Hills pricing reaching $150,000 or more. Price is driven primarily by technique (deep plane vs. traditional SMAS), surgeon experience and location, and whether the procedure is combined with a neck lift. See the full country-by-country cost comparison at deepplane.com/best-country.

What does a suspiciously cheap deep plane facelift quote leave out?

A quote well below the ranges typical for its market usually leaves out one of: board-certified anesthesiologist fees (vs. a lower-cost anesthesia provider), an accredited surgical facility fee, aftercare and follow-up visits, or revision coverage if a touch-up is needed. It may also signal a surgeon with low deep-plane-specific case volume pricing aggressively to build a caseload. Before accepting a low quote, ask for an itemized breakdown, verify board certification independently, and ask specifically how many deep plane facelifts (not facelifts generally) the surgeon performs per year.

How do I find deep plane facelift cost near me?

The most reliable way to find deep plane facelift cost near you is to browse listed deep plane specialists by city or country and compare their published pricing directly — quotes vary significantly even within the same metro area based on a surgeon's experience and reputation. Browse deepplane.com/surgeons to filter by location, or see deepplane.com/deep-plane-facelift-surgeons-by-city for a city-by-city directory of verified specialists and their price ranges.

How much does a deep plane facelift normally cost?

A deep plane facelift normally costs $35,000–$75,000 with a board-certified US specialist in 2026 (a typical quoted range from DEEPPLANE™ editorial estimates, not a measured median), or $10,000–$14,000 in medical-tourism destinations like Turkey and Mexico. Premium New York and Beverly Hills pricing runs $75,000–$150,000. The final quote depends on surgeon experience, geographic market, and whether facility and anesthesia fees are itemized or bundled.

How much does a deep plane facelift typically cost?

A deep plane facelift typically costs $35,000–$75,000 in the United States with a board-certified specialist, or $10,000–$14,000 abroad in Turkey or Mexico. Typical pricing reflects surgeon fee (~60% of total), anesthesia (10–15%), facility fee (15–20%), and post-operative care — always confirm which of these are included before comparing two quotes.

How much would a deep plane facelift cost?

A deep plane facelift would cost $35,000–$75,000 with a board-certified US surgeon in most metro markets, rising to $75,000–$150,000 in New York or Beverly Hills, or falling to $10,000–$14,000 in medical-tourism destinations like Turkey and Mexico. Get a personalized estimate by browsing verified specialists and their published pricing at deepplane.com/surgeons.

What is the average cost of a good facelift?

The average cost of a good facelift from a board-certified specialist is $35,000–$75,000 for a deep plane facelift in the United States, or $8,000–$20,000 for a traditional SMAS facelift. 'Good' should be measured by board certification, documented deep-plane case volume, and verifiable before-after results — not price alone, since a suspiciously low quote often omits anesthesia, facility, or aftercare fees.

What is the cheapest way to get a facelift?

The cheapest way to get a facelift is a mini or SMAS facelift in an accredited medical-tourism destination — deep plane facelift in Turkey starts around $10,000 all-inclusive, versus $35,000+ for the equivalent surgery alone in the USA. Financing through CareCredit or Alphaeon can also make a higher-quality US procedure more affordable month-to-month — but both are deferred-interest products, so the 0% only holds if the balance clears before the promotion ends. Whichever route you choose, avoid the cheapest quote without verifying board certification and documented case volume — a suspiciously low price usually leaves out anesthesia, facility, or aftercare fees. Compare verified surgeons and their published pricing at deepplane.com/best-country and deepplane.com/financing.

How painful is a deep plane face lift?

Most patients describe deep plane facelift discomfort as moderate pressure and tightness rather than sharp pain, typically well-controlled with prescribed medication for the first 3-5 days. Swelling and bruising peak around day 2-3 and improve steadily over the following two weeks; most patients return to non-strenuous activity within 10-14 days.

What is the average price of a deep plane facelift?

DEEPPLANE™ does not publish a measured US average or median price: most prices on listed-surgeon profiles are editorial estimates, not prices those surgeons stated. What we publish is a typical quoted range — $35,000–$75,000 all-in with a board-certified US specialist, whose midpoint is $55,000 — and a midpoint of a range is not an average. Across the 43 countries we publish a range for, the median of the range midpoints is about $18,000, reflecting the much lower cost of medical-tourism destinations like Turkey and Mexico.

What country is best for a deep plane facelift?

There is no single best country: we hold no study that compares deep plane facelift results by country. Turkey's band is $10,000–$12,000 for the surgery itself and the USA has the largest listed pool on DEEPPLANE™; compare the surgeon first, then the country, and ask what each quote includes.

How much should a deep plane facelift cost?

A deep plane facelift should cost $35,000–$75,000 with a board-certified US specialist, or $10,000–$14,000 in a medical-tourism destination like Turkey or Mexico. A quote significantly below these bands for its market is a red flag — it usually signals a low deep-plane case volume or omitted anesthesia/facility fees rather than genuine savings. Always ask for an itemized breakdown before comparing two quotes.

How long do you have to take off work for a facelift?

Most deep plane facelift patients take 10–14 days off work for desk/remote jobs, since visible bruising and swelling have largely resolved by then. Physically demanding jobs or roles requiring public-facing appearance may need 2–3 weeks. Full internal healing continues for several months, but it doesn't affect the ability to return to non-strenuous work.
