The Cost of a Facelift Surgery in Sydney

A facelift repositions facial tissues and removes excess skin, and some may choose to undergo this invasive procedure to achieve specific changes in their face. If you’re one such individual considering this surgery, clearly understanding the potential costs involved, and factors which may influence them, is essential.

This guide offers general information that might help you explore what to expect in terms of costs and the actual surgery, but know that personalised advice should always come from a qualified surgeon after undergoing a thorough consultation.

How much does facelift surgery cost in Sydney?

The exact cost of your facelift will be determined during your consultation. Prices vary depending on the clients’ extent of correction needed. It is based on the client’s personal goals and assessment, including cheeks, neck area, jowls, nasolabial fold, eye area and brow.

The cost of facelift surgery can vary depending on the specific procedure and individual requirements. For example, surgical fees for a full facelift may start at approximately $25,000, while less extensive procedures, such as a ponytail facelift, may start at around $16,000. It’s important to note that these are general estimates, and the total cost will depend on the complexity of the surgery and any additional associated fees.

What makes up the total costs of a facelift?

Aside from the surgical fee, other factors such as consultation, hospital, and anaesthesia fees affect your facelift’s total cost. Depending on your goal, additional cost for a combined neck lift, eyelid surgery, and brow lift may also occur.

Hospital fees for facelift surgery can range from approximately $2,000 to $7,000 for procedures lasting 1 to 6 hours. Anaesthetic fees are typically between $500 and $650 per hour, depending on the duration of the surgery. These costs can vary based on the complexity of the procedure and the facilities used.
