One of the most common questions we get from clients at Visage Medspa & Facial Plastic Surgery Center is “What is the cost of a facelift in San Francisco?” As is so often true with medical questions, the answer to the question “What is the cost of a facelift in San Francisco?” is “it depends.” There is no simple answer because every patient is different.

One thing that probably will not surprise you is that the cost of a facelift is not “cheap”. This is a type of cosmetic surgery that takes years to become an expert at, and it has to be carried out so that it is as near to perfect as it can possibly be. This is why, if you are considering a facelift in San Francisco, you need to get the best possible surgeon – one with the necessary training and certification, and the years of practical experience to go with it.
The Most Important Thing Is Not The Cost But The Result
In any case, the most important thing is not the cost of a facelift in San Francisco but the result that you get. Certainly, there are some general cosmetic surgeons around who carry out facelift procedures, but as with most things today, you get what you pay for. Yes, you might find one surgeon who charges a little less than another one, but is it worth taking any risks? After all, this is your face that you are talking about, and you only have one. The last thing that you need is a botched procedure that makes you wish that you hadn’t had a facelift at all.
At Visage, our Dr Alex Rabinovich is a board certified facial cosmetic surgeon with extensive training and experience in this particular field. Indeed, so experienced is he that he has developed his own individual procedure that has several benefits over and above the traditional form of facelift surgery.
The most important factor is that his procedure goes into the deeper tissue under the muscle and slides it upwards back into its’ original position when you were younger. The fat and muscle are lifted and tightened with the incision line inside the ear. This means that there is less bruising and swelling. The result is a softer, more natural appearance with long-lasting definition along the neck and jawline without the tight appearance of other procedures. Furthermore, because there is no tension on the skin and superficial layers, the scars heal better.
The procedure usually takes about two hours and can be carried out under local anesthetic. Most patients can return to work within 2 weeks, and can wear their hair up, if wished, without any visible scar after a few weeks.
