How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?

Some people tend to feel uncomfortable with their facial appearance after the visible signs of aging emerge. To reverse the effects of aging, such as sagging skin or droop eyelids, patients often undergo surgical procedures that will make them look younger for longer. 

What is Facial Plastic Surgery?

Facial plastic surgery refers to several cosmetic facial procedures that can enhance the appearance of the face. At Cornerstone Plastic Surgery, facial plastic surgeries include facelifts, neck lifts, lip lifts, brow lifts, eyelid lifts, rhinoplasty (nose surgery), and ear surgery. 

Dr. Fred Coville can perform each of these plastic surgeries alone or perform more than one at the same time, depending on the patient’s preferences and cosmetic goals. Most of these facial procedures are performed using local anesthesia, and patients may go home the same day as the procedure(s).

How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?

Medical insurance does not usually cover the costs of cosmetic surgeries. The cost of facial plastic surgery depends on several factors. Most patients can expect to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket. Costs vary depending on the following factors:

• Your surgeon’s geographical location
• Your surgeon’s expertise
• Anesthesia costs
• The extent of treatment areas
• Type of procedure(s) 
• Operating room expenses
• Prescription medications 

There are several ways you can reduce the total cost of your facial plastic surgery. If you need facial plastic surgery for medical reasons, your health insurance may help cover some of the costs of your procedure. For example, if droopy eyelids significantly impair your vision, your insurance provider may cover your blepharoplasty (eyelid lift). If you have breathing problems, your insurance provider may also cover some of your nose surgery expenses. 

Another way to finance your face surgery includes asking for a loan from your bank or other financial institutions. Additionally, you may want to ask if your provider offers discounts for facial plastic surgery. Getting multiple facial procedures at the same time may also help you save money as opposed to getting each procedure done individually. Dr. Coville’s Patient Care Coordinator at Cornerstone Plastic Surgery will be able to give you an official quote of your facial plastic surgery expenses during your consultation. 

What is Recovery Like After Facial Plastic Surgery?

After facial plastic surgery, you can expect some downtime. You will need plenty of time to recover and wear a surgical head wrap for as long as your doctor recommends. With most cosmetic surgeries, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Dr. Coville at Cornerstone Plastic Surgery may recommend taking pain relievers to deal with these symptoms. 

During this time, you should avoid strenuous activities until your doctor clears you for these physical exercises. It is important to follow your doctor’s post-care instructions to ensure you heal properly. Moreover, you should attend your follow-up appointments to ensure your wounds are healing properly.

Who is a Candidate for Facial Plastic Surgery?

Candidates for facial plastic surgery should be healthy non-smokers who wish to improve one or more areas of their face. Most facial plastic surgery candidates are older patients who have visible signs of aging that make them look older than they really feel. However, some younger patients who are starting to show early signs of aging may also benefit from some facial plastic surgeries. 

The best way to determine if facial plastic surgery is right for you is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Coville at Cornerstone Plastic Surgery. He will examine your areas of concern, review your medical history, listen to your cosmetic goals, and recommend the best treatment to improve the overall appearance of your face.
