HOW MUCH DOES A NECK LIFT COST IN ATLANTA?
Sagging of the skin, increased neck fullness, and a loss of the normal jawline contour are common complaints as the signs of aging become noticeable. These changes result in one’s appearance looking older than their stated age. Luckily, neck lift procedures are available to help reverse the signs of aging, enhancing the youthful appearance of the face and improving the natural contours of the neck.
Average Cost/Expected Cost Range of a Neck lift
On average, the neck lift cost in Atlanta is between $5,000 to $9,000 but can exceed $9000 in some instances. Many factors are involved when determining the overall cost of a neck lift. These include the expertise and experience of the surgeon, the geographic region, and any additional procedures.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Fletcher will provide you with a customized care plan and the total costs of the procedure. This upfront pricing helps to eliminate any confusion and reduce the financial stress of the surgery.
What is Included in the Cost?
The neck lift price in Atlanta includes all fees associated with the surgery and not just the amount for the procedure. This all-inclusive approach provides one price that includes the surgeon fee, post-operative appointments, and any post-surgical garments needed after the procedure. This fee may also include the cost of support staff needed before, during, and after the surgery has been completed.
A neck lift requires general anesthesia and is performed in a surgical facility capable of providing this service. Therefore, the costs of using these facilities and the anesthesiologist fees will be included in the total price.
Factors That Determine the Cost of the Procedure
When determining the cost of a neck lift in Atlanta, several factors affect the price of the procedure. A few of the major factors impacting the total costs are described below.
Surgeon Experience and Expertise
Board-certified facial plastic surgeons have received extensive training in performing cosmetic surgeries and stay informed on the most advanced surgical techniques. Experienced surgeons are invaluable as their experience can reduce the number of complications and provide improved results. This places them in high demand to perform these procedures and thus their costs are often higher than less experienced providers.
While the upfront costs may be higher, a botched neck lift can result in additional procedures costing more of your time and money. Obtaining an exceptional result with the first surgery is important to reducing future mental and financial stress.
Surgical Location
Procedures performed in outpatient surgical facilities or hospitals are associated with higher costs as they must include the surgical fees charged by that facility. Additionally, general anesthesia requires the presence of an anesthesiologist which further contributes to the expenses of the procedure.
Geographic Location
Larger cities, such as Atlanta, are associated with higher operational costs and higher demand for cosmetic procedures. This results in higher costs of procedures compared to other regions within the state of Georgia.
Are Neck Lifts Covered by Insurance?
Insurance companies generally classify deep plane and mini neck lifts as cosmetic procedures, and as a result, these procedures are generally not covered by your insurance plan. However, during the initial consultation, Dr. Fletcher will go over expected costs to help you make a more informed decision.
Are Financing Options Available?
At Georgia Center for Ear, Nose, Throat, and Facial Plastic Surgery, we are committed to providing access to transformative cosmetic surgeries for everyone. We offer a wide range of financing options, allowing patients to achieve a healthier, more youthful appearance.
Benefits of a Neck Lift
The appearance of the neck and jawline is significantly improved with a neck lift surgery. A neck lift surgery helps patients achieve a more youthful, vibrant appearance. Additional benefits include:
- Removes excess loose skin. Excess loose skin is addressed during a neck lift, which helps to reduce sagging caused by aging along the neckline.
- Tightens remaining skin. By tightening the remaining skin, a neck lift can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and give the neck a more toned appearance.
- Enhancement of chin and jawline. The improved contouring of the skin and muscle accomplished with a neck lift enhances the definition of the chin and jawline.
- Improved facial profile. The reduction in neck folds and loose skin creates a smoother, slimmer look to the neck that dramatically improves one’s facial profile and overall appearance.
- Short recovery. Compared to some cosmetic procedures, the recovery time needed after a neck lift is often shorter and does not require prolonged time off work.
Customizable procedure. A neck lift can be combined with other procedures to maximize the degree of rejuvenation from a single surgery.
Who is a Candidate for a Neck Lift?
Deep plane and mini neck lifts are ideal for patients with unwanted neck fullness, jowls, and sagging skin within the neck region. A mini neck lift is ideal for patients with mild skin and soft tissue laxity. For those requiring a more aggressive correction, a deep plane neck lift is a better choice to provide the best results.
The ideal candidate should be in good mental and physical health with no significant medical conditions that can increase the risks of complications. Non-smokers and patients not on blood thinning medications are great candidates for a neck lift procedure. Having realistic expectations for the procedure is essential for the overall success of this procedure.
