How much does facelift surgery cost in New York?
Dr. Grossman does not post a set facelift price, because no two plans are the same. Your quote is given after he examines you and depends on whether a SMAS or deep plane facelift suits your aging pattern, whether a neck lift or fat grafting is added, and how long the operation will take. Facelift costs also vary significantly by geographic location, so a figure found online says little about your own plan; your consultation gives you an itemized quote for your face.
What factors influence facelift surgery costs?
Three things drive the cost most: the complexity of the lift itself, its specifics (SMAS tightening or a deep plane approach, and how the neck is handled), and any added treatments recommended for the best outcome, such as fat grafting, eyelid surgery or laser resurfacing. Your quote itemizes what is included. Because the same word, facelift, can describe very different operations, two patients may need quite different steps.
Does a facelift include a neck lift?
Not automatically, and the two are priced as separate parts of your plan. If loose skin and deep creases continue from the jawline into the neck, many patients, especially women, choose to treat both in one operation. Your quote then reflects the neck work involved, such as tightening the platysma muscle or ultrasound-assisted liposuction under the chin, along with the longer operating time.
Are there alternatives to facelift surgery?
Yes, and Dr. Grossman often raises them himself. He views facial aging mainly as volume loss rather than gravity, so many patients are better served by restoring volume with their own fat, a gentler procedure with a shorter recovery. Renuvion (J-Plasma) skin tightening, laser resurfacing, fillers and Botox are other options. At consultation he tells you honestly whether a lift, fat or both makes sense.
What facial procedures are offered in New York City?
Beyond facelift surgery, Dr. Grossman performs neck lifts, cheek lifts, brow lifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, lip lifts, buccal fat removal, neck and chin liposuction and facial fat grafting. Cheek volume is restored with your own fat or fillers; he no longer uses cheek implants. Injectables, laser treatments and skin care round out the options, all at his Brooklyn, NYC practice.
Where can I discuss facelift surgery costs with Dr. Grossman?
Cost questions are answered in person at Dr. Grossman’s Brooklyn practice, 3039 Emmons Avenue, NY 11235, where his surgery center is fully accredited and where the facelift itself is performed. Being an outpatient center, it keeps hospital charges out of your quote. Call 212-585-2133 or use the form on this page to request a consultation and personalized quote.
Can facial fat grafting be considered with facelift surgery?
Yes, and Dr. Grossman recommends it often, because a lift tightens but does not replace volume the face has lost. Fat is harvested from an area such as the abdomen or thighs, purified and injected during the same operation. The amount of fat and the number of areas treated add operating time, so your quote lists the fat grafting portion clearly.
How do I prepare for a facelift cost consultation?
Bring photos of yourself from your younger years; Dr. Grossman uses them to understand how your face has changed. Note any previous facial surgery (he can operate after prior facelifts), medications and smoking habits, since smoking impairs healing. Ask which lift he recommends, whether fat grafting or a neck lift is included, and what the quote covers, and ask about financing.
