The Cost of a Deep Plane Facelift Surgery in Sydney

A Deep PLane Facelift may help address changes related to the facial structure by lifting deeper layers of tissue. But compared to traditional facelifts, this technique focuses on repositioning the muscle and skin layers.

If you’re considering this procedure, having an idea of the costs and factors affecting it like surgeon experience, facility fees, and additional care is essential. We provide a general overview of the considerations related to the cost of a deep plane facelift.

1. Consultation Fees

Requesting a quote for a deep plane facelift needs a proper assessment of your face, including the cheek, neck area, jowls, nasolabial fold, eye area and brow. This assessment and the goal you want to achieve for your face will help identify the facelift surgery cost. 

Having a unique and technical understanding of the anatomy of the ageing process combined with surgical finesse, Artiste’s Dr Jack Zoumaras can ensure proper assessment for the deep plane facelift.. The initial consultation fee is $350, and follow up consultations are $160.

2. Surgical Fees

The surgical fee depends on the cosmetic surgeon you choose. The difference between their fees reflects the cosmetic surgeon’s expertise in facial surgery, qualifications, experience, professional recognition and popularity.

The investment for a facelift varies between $15k – $25k for surgical feels. The upper and lower limit could be higher or lower, depending on the surgeon’s expertise, training, and the like. 

3. Hospital Fees 

Hospital fees depend on the technique, facility and the extent of work necessary for the facelift procedure. A deep plane facelift usually requires  6 hours to perform the surgery and an overnight stay at the hospital. 

Hospital fees can vary from $2000 to $7000 for 1-6 hour surgery. Again, the upper and lower limits could be higher or lower. 

4. Anaesthetic Fees 

The anaesthetist is another crucial figure for a successful surgery. They are the ones who will put you to sleep throughout the surgery and manage the pain post-operation. 

The anaesthetic fees range from $500-650 per hour of surgery. Upper and lower limits vary.

It’s essential to approach cost information as a general guideline, as actual fees can vary based on individual factors and specific requirements. At Artiste Plastic Surgery, we can provide information about our own costs and fees, but each surgeon or clinic may have different structures. For a clear and tailored understanding, consider scheduling a consultation with your chosen surgeon, where you can discuss all aspects of the procedure, including your goals, expectations, and any cost-related concerns.
