By Dale Gieringer, Director, CA NORML. Like many medical marijuana users, Kristin Redeen needed additional prescription medications for her severe chronic pain.

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 cost will vary as well depending on the location in the country, and the skill and experience of the surgeon. That having been said, the range that you can expect to find for fat transfer to the face will be from $4000 to $25,000, with $8000-$9000 the average with operating room and anesthesia.
