What is the cost of Facelift Surgery in Sydney? (Update 2024)

Facelift surgery, also known as rhytidectomy, is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures Dr Turner performs in Sydney for individuals looking to improve the signs of ageing. However, it’s important to understand the costs involved before undergoing any facelift procedure.

In this article, Dr Turner, a Specialist Plastic Surgeon in Sydney, will break down the associated costs, helping you make an informed decision if you’re considering facelift surgery in Sydney.

What Costs Are Involved in Facelift Surgery in Sydney?

When considering facelift surgery, there are several costs to account for beyond just the surgeon’s fees. These costs include private hospital fees, anaesthesia fees, surgical assistant fees and aftercare. Understanding each of these components can help you get a clearer picture of the total investment required to undergo facelift surgery in Sydney.

Here’s a breakdown of the main factors contributing to the overall cost:

• Consultation: Most plastic surgeons charge a consultation fee to discuss your aesthetic goals and educate patients on the facelift process, including recovery and potential risks and complications. A consultation with Dr Turner at one of his Sydney Clinics is $450.
• Surgeon’s Fees: This is usually the largest component of the cost, and it depends on the surgeon’s expertise and reputation. Surgeons with more experience and expertise tend to charge more.
• Hospital Fees: These cover the use of the surgical facility and can vary based on the individual hospitals and the length of the surgery. Dr Turner recommends most facelift patients stay overnight, which increases the hospital fees.
• Anaesthesia Fees: General anaesthesia is provided by a qualified anaesthetist which is required for facelift surgery.
• Post-Operative Care: After surgery, you’ll likely need follow-up appointments, medications, garments, and possibly additional treatments such as laser resurfacing to aid recovery.

The total cost of facelift surgery in Sydney typically ranges between $20,000 to $35,000 for a short scar (mini) facelift and $35,000 to $70,000 for a more comprehensive full face and neck lift.

Costs for Facelift Surgery with Dr Turner

Dr Turner offers several types of facelift procedures, each tailored to meet the unique needs of his patients. The cost of each procedure will depend on its complexity and the time required to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Short Scar Facelift

A short scar facelift, also known as a mini facelift, is ideal for patients with early signs of aging, such as sagging skin around the jawline and cheeks. This procedure involves smaller incisions and a quicker recovery time, making it a popular choice for those looking for subtle enhancements.

• Cost: $27,500 – this includes the surgeon’s fees, hospital fees, anaesthesia fees and all follow up visits.

Standard Face and Neck Lift (Deep Plane Facelift)

A deep plane facelift is the Dr Turners preference for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. It involves repositioning deeper tissues to restore the natural contour of the face and neck, providing long-lasting results.

• Cost: $32,000 – this includes the surgeon’s fees, hospital fees, anaesthesia fees and all follow up visits.

Vertical Restore Facelift

A vertical restore facelift is Dr Turners most advanced facelift procedure that lifts the face in a vertical direction, combining not only a deep plane face and neck lift but also address the brow, eyelids and upper lip. It’s a popular choice for patients looking for a more dramatic transformation.

• Cost: $40,000 – this includes the surgeon’s fees, hospital fees, anaesthesia fees and all follow up visits.

Experience Matters

One of the most critical factors in determining the cost of your facelift surgery is the surgeon’s level of experience.
