Typical costs: Costs for a facelift usually range from $6,000 to $15,000, including an anesthesia fee of $1,000 to $1,300, a hospital fee of $500 to $2,000 and a surgeon's fee. A face lift will take more time, and cost more, for a patient with whose skin is less pliable or has been subjected to years of too much sun exposure.
The average cost of a brow lift is about $3,000, but can go as low as $2,000 and as high as $8,000. Less experienced doctors may charge less for a brow lift, so ask your surgeon how many he or she has performed to get a proper estimate.
