What Actually Drives the Cost of a Facelift
Facelift pricing understandably causes hesitation, in part because it's rarely explained clearly. The number below reflects the surgeon's fee only — the portion Dr. Eggerstedt charges for the operative work itself. Anesthesia and facility fees are separate, billed by the anesthesia provider and hospital, and vary by case length and complexity.
Cost also varies with the extent of surgery — a facelift alone is priced differently than a facelift combined with a neck lift, blepharoplasty, or fat transfer. An accurate, itemized number requires an actual evaluation, not a phone estimate.

Common Questions
How much does a deep plane facelift cost in Chicago?
Starts at $10,000 for the surgeon's fee. Reflects the surgeon's fee only. Anesthesia and facility fees are billed separately and are not included in the amount shown. Your exact quote is provided after an in-person evaluation.
What's included in the surgeon's fee, and what isn't?
The surgeon's fee covers Dr. Eggerstedt's operative work. Anesthesia and facility (operating room) fees are billed separately by the anesthesia provider and hospital, and are not included in the starting price shown here. Your full, itemized quote is provided after an in-person evaluation.
Why isn't there one flat price for every facelift?
The extent of surgery varies by anatomy — some patients need facelift alone, others benefit from combining a neck lift, blepharoplasty, or fat transfer. Final pricing reflects the actual plan built for your face, not a one-size number.
How does deep plane facelift cost compare to a mini lift or thread lift?
Mini lifts and thread lifts typically cost less upfront, but address the skin surface rather than the deeper structural layer — results are generally shorter-lived and more limited. Deep plane facelift costs more initially but is intended as a durable, one-time structural correction rather than a temporary measure.
Is a deep plane facelift ever covered by insurance?
No — facelift is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance under any circumstance.
Are payment plans or financing available?
Payment and financing options are discussed individually during your consultation.
I don't have full jowling yet — is there a lower-cost option?
For patients with earlier midface descent rather than significant jowling, an endoscopic hairline-hidden midface lift is available starting at $4,000 — a smaller, lower-cost procedure than a full deep plane facelift. Which approach fits is determined at consultation.
Can I discuss cost on a virtual consultation before committing to an in-person visit?
Yes. A virtual initial consultation is available to review your anatomy, discuss realistic pricing for your specific case, and answer preliminary questions. An in-person exam is required before any surgery is scheduled.
