What is a Face Lift?
A face lift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure that addresses loose skin, deep folds, and jowls in the lower face and neck by repositioning the underlying facial muscles and removing excess skin. It is the most comprehensive surgical solution for facial aging.
Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or IV sedation and takes 2 to 5 hours depending on the extent of the procedure. Most patients return to normal activities in 2 to 3 weeks, with final results visible at 3 to 6 months. A well-performed face lift can last 10 or more years.
Mini face lifts (limited incision face lifts) address early to moderate laxity with smaller incisions and shorter recovery. A full face lift is the right choice for more significant sagging. Your surgeon should assess which approach matches your anatomy and goals.
How much does a Face Lift cost in San Francisco?
A face lift in San Francisco typically starts at $25,200, with most procedures ranging from $25,200 to $45,360 all-in depending on the extent of the procedure, surgeon experience, and whether a neck lift is combined.

What to ask your provider
- Are you board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)?
- How many face lifts do you perform per year? Can I see before-and-after photos of your own patients?
- Am I a candidate for a mini face lift or do I need a full face lift — and why?
- Should I combine this with a neck lift? What would you recommend for my anatomy?
- What does the quote include — surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility?
- What is my expected recovery timeline and what restrictions will I have?
Frequently asked questions
How much does a face lift cost in San Francisco?
A face lift in San Francisco typically starts at $25,200 and ranges up to $45,360 all-in. A mini face lift falls on the lower end of that range. A full face lift combined with a neck lift sits at the higher end. The quote should include surgeon fee, anesthesia, and facility costs.
What is the difference between a mini face lift and a full face lift?
A mini face lift uses smaller incisions to address early to moderate jowling and laxity in the lower face. Recovery is shorter (7 to 14 days) and cost is lower. A full face lift addresses more significant sagging of the midface, jowls, and neck with more comprehensive repositioning of muscle and skin. Your surgeon should recommend based on your specific anatomy.
How long does a face lift last?
A well-performed face lift typically lasts 10 or more years. It does not stop the aging process, but it resets the clock significantly. Most patients in their 50s who have a face lift in their mid-40s enjoy results well into their mid-50s before considering any touch-up.
What is recovery from a face lift like?
Most patients take 2 to 3 weeks off work. Swelling and bruising are most visible in the first week and improve steadily. Sutures are typically removed at 1 to 2 weeks. Strenuous activity is restricted for 4 to 6 weeks. Final results — including scar maturation — take 3 to 6 months.
Does a face lift leave visible scars?
Incisions are placed along the hairline and in the natural creases around the ear, making them difficult to detect once healed. A skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes tension on the incision and places scars where they are most easily concealed. Scars continue to fade for 12 to 18 months.
