Understanding Facelift Costs: Facelift surgeries with Elena Prousskaia

We understand that considering a facelift, a cosmetic procedure aimed at facial rejuvenation, is a profoundly personal journey. It’s a step that speaks to a desire for renewed confidence and a reflection that genuinely represents how you feel inside. It’s natural, therefore, to have questions about facelift cost.

Below, we’re covering all the information you need to know to make an informed decision on your path to facial rejuvenation.

A facelift is far more than just a surgical procedure; it’s meticulously designed to achieve natural, long-lasting results. While a facelift can address visible signs of aging, it cannot stop the natural ageing process, which continues after surgery and may affect long-term results. Our approach is always holistic and uniquely tailored, recognising that each individual’s aesthetic needs and aspirations are distinct.

A full range of tailored facelift options 

Elena offers a range of facelift techniques, each designed to address specific concerns and deliver natural-looking rejuvenation. Facelift and neck lift surgery aims to improve and reduce visible signs of ageing by remodelling deep facial structures, removing excess skin, and performing fat remodelling. These procedures can target sagging skin, jowls, and marionette lines around the mouth and jawline for a smoother, more youthful look.

This procedure is uniquely designed for each patient to create a refreshed appearance.

Her surgical approach often involves lifting the skin off the deeper facial structures, gently pulling the skin in an upward and posterior direction, and meticulously removing any excess skin. Crucially, she performs tightening or remodelling of the deeper tissues of the face (SMAS lift) to ensure lasting results. To achieve a truly youthful and harmonious appearance, fat transfer can also be performed to improve areas where volume may have been lost.

Additionally, a small incision may be made under the chin to effectively tighten the skin and deeper tissue of the neck. The underlying muscle, known as platysma, is often tightened to eliminate unfavourable-looking neck bands (platysmaplasty procedure), and chin liposuction may be performed to remove excess fat, further refining the neck and jawline.

Alternative procedures such as an eyelid surgery/eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) or a brow lift can be combined with facelift surgery for a more holistic facial rejuvenation, ensuring a beautifully balanced appearance from the forehead down to the neck. Additional procedures and additional treatments, such as fat transfer or liposuction, can also be performed alongside a facelift to enhance results and may affect the overall cost.

The traditional full facelift is the most comprehensive option, involving carefully placed incisions along the hairline and around the ears. 

This method allows the surgeon to lift and tighten both the skin and the underlying tissues, resulting in a dramatic rejuvenation of the entire face. For those seeking a less invasive approach, the mini facelift targets the lower face and neck using smaller incisions, however, this procedure is short term and not as effective as a full facelift. As a result of it’s long lasting poor outcomes, Elena does not offer this type of facelift surgery.

The deep plane facelift is an advanced gold option, and as a result the cost may be higher than other techniques due to its complexity and the expertise required. The traditional facelift is a more invasive, long-lasting procedure, and the traditional full facelift cost can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the surgery, location, and surgeon’s experience, often being higher than less invasive alternatives.

During your personal consultation, Elena will discuss which technique or combination of techniques is best suited to your unique anatomy and desired outcomes, providing a precise and transparent quotation tailored to your needs.

Understanding your facelift cost

The cost of a facelift can vary depending on several factors, directly reflecting the bespoke nature of each procedure and the comprehensive care you receive throughout your journey. Facelift cost and facelift prices in the UK can vary depending on the type of procedure, the surgeon’s experience, and the location. 

When you choose Elena Prousskaia, your investment covers not just the surgery itself, but an all-encompassing experience of expert care, meticulous planning, and dedicated post-operative support. Several key factors influence the overall investment. This includes the specific facelift technique Elena decides to employ to achieve the best possible outcomes for you.

Your individualised surgical plan is precisely tailored, as Elena focuses on remodelling deep facial structures, removing excess skin, and often incorporating fat remodelling to address areas of missing volume.

Surgeon’s experience and expertise are key factors in the overall cost.

While the precise cost is determined during your private consultation, a typical guide price for facelift surgery starts from £22,000. Please note that the initial consultation fee is invoiced separately. A private consultation is essential to determine the final facelift cost and to ensure there are no hidden fees.

Preparing for your facelift procedure

Preparing for your facelift procedure is an essential step in ensuring a smooth, safe, and successful experience. The journey begins with an initial consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, where you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have. During this meeting, your surgeon will carefully assess your facial structure and skin laxity, helping to determine which facelift procedure, be it a mini facelift, full facelift, or deep plane facelift, will best achieve your desired results.

Your surgeon will explain the recommended surgical technique in detail, outlining what you can expect before, during, and after the procedure. This is also the time to review any potential risks or complications, as well as the expected recovery timeline. To optimise your outcome, you’ll receive personalised pre-operative instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications, refraining from strenuous exercise, and making adjustments to your skincare routine.
