How Much Does Facial Plastic Surgery Cost?

The cost of facial plastic surgery typically weighs high in the decision-making process to get a facelift, rhinoplasty, or botox. While cost is certainly an important factor, there are other issues to consider before committing to plastic surgery as well. For example, your overall health, the estimated recovery time, and the ability and expertise of your facial plastic surgeon are all high-priority factors. Make sure you’re ready to make a big but beneficial investment toward improving your appearance.

Seven National Averages of Facial Plastic Surgery Cost Per Procedure

There’s no slowing down when it comes to plastic surgery procedures in America. In fact, there has been a 132% increase in procedures between 2000 and 2016!

If you’ve been considering facial plastic surgery, chances are you’ve looked into the fees involved. It’s important to note that the national average cost of different facial plastic surgery procedures can differ depending on several factors. The fees for facial procedures are often determined by:

• Regional location
• Skillset and experience of the surgeon
• Level of procedure involvement/difficulty

Take a look at the national average facial plastic surgery cost for some of the most common types of cosmetic surgery procedures performed in 2016/2017:

1. Nose Reshaping / Rhinoplasty — $5,000
2. Eyelid Surgery — $3,022
3. Facelift — $7,048
4. Botox — $385 per/full treatment
5. Soft Tissue Filler — $644 per/full treatment
6. Facial resurfacing chemical peel — $673
7. Microdermabrasion — $138

Again, the prices listed above are averages, and facial plastic surgery costs can fluctuate depending on where you go for treatment. Also, the cost certainly isn’t the only factor you should consider before scheduling a procedure. Let’s take a closer look at how a plastic surgeon’s level of expertise can make all the difference.
