Deep Plane Facelift Cost

A Deep Plane Facelift offers dramatic, long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Patients frequently ask about cost, considering it an investment that will last many years. We will delve into the various factors that impact the price of a Deep Plane Facelift, including local averages and the variables that determine the final cost of your surgery.

What Is the Average Cost of a Deep Plane Facelift in Newport Beach, CA? 

The cost of a facelift in Newport Beach varies from $20,000 to $65,000 or more. Deep Plane Facelifts tend to run higher than other facelift surgeries, due to the complexity and added benefits of this technique. However, a Deep Plane Facelift also provides the most dramatic, natural, and long-lasting results compared to other facelift techniques, giving patients the best value for their plastic surgery dollar. 

A few surgeons purportedly charge in excess of $150,000 for a facelift, due to their notoriety from celebrity clientele or success on social media. Their results are not different from what some other elite surgeons can deliver (while charging much more reasonable fees).  

Breakdown of Individual Facelift Costs 

Any plastic surgery procedure includes these three basic fees: 

Surgical Fee 

The surgical fee covers the services provided by the surgeon. This includes the actual surgery and all the follow-up care and follow-up visits during the six months after the surgery. The surgeon’s fee will vary, based on factors such as: 

• Surgeon’s training and experience
• Surgery complexity 
• Surgeon reputation 
• Adjunct procedures (neck lift, brow lift, or other procedures)

A Deep Plane Facelift is a technically challenging procedure that is not offered by all plastic surgeons, which increases the cost for those who seek it. Dr. Boris Ackerman is renowned for his “Systematic Approach to Deep Facelifts,” and demonstrates his techniques in his Newport Beach operating room to surgeons from around the country. He also invented his proprietary Ackerman Facelift Retractor, which he uses during surgeries to improve outcomes for his patients. 

Anesthesia Fee 

Dr. Ackerman performs Deep Plane Facelifts under MAC anesthesia or mild general anesthesia, not unlike what many patients experience during a colonoscopy. The board-certified anesthesiologist present during the procedure also charges a fee for their services, which may vary based on the specifics of the surgery, length of the procedure, and the anesthesia used. Modern anesthesia techniques are quite safe when performed in a certified surgical facility and under the expertise of a trained anesthesiologist, who monitors the patient and mitigates possible risks throughout the procedure. 

Facility Fee 

The facility where the procedure is performed also charges a fee for the surgeon’s use of an operating room. Dr. Ackerman performs surgery in his own fully certified, state-of-the-art facility, which typically means a slightly lower cost for his patients than undergoing surgery at a nearby hospital. Facility fees also vary based on the complexity of the procedure and the length of the patient’s stay. Dr. Ackerman performs Deep Plane Facelifts on an outpatient basis. The patients may return home if they have a responsible person to monitor them for the first 24 hours. However, Dr. Ackerman encourages his patients to avail themselves of a professional facility for the first night. Dr. Ackerman’s office coordinates and helps with all the necessary preoperative and postoperative arrangements. 

Benefits of a Deep Plane Facelift 

While the cost of a Deep Plane Facelift may be higher than other types of facial surgery, the benefits are also far-reaching. This technique takes facial rejuvenation to the next level by repositioning the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) and underlying muscles with the skin to create a naturally more youthful appearance. The Deep Plane Facelift does not produce the windswept look that other facelift approaches might. Instead, patients look like much younger versions of themselves, with improvements that can last 15 years or more.
