How much does a facelift cost: price and factors

There is no single price. As an approximate sector reference in Spain, a mini facelift costs around 3.500-7.000 € and a full facelift 7.000-15.000 €; a neck lift, around 4.000-9.000 €. The price depends on the technique, the extent, the anesthesia and the team, and is only settled after a personalised consultation.

Before undergoing a facelift in Girona, the first thing you usually want to know is how much it costs. And the honest answer is that the price varies a lot: a mini facelift is not the same as a full facelift with neck, and the cost also differs depending on the technique and the anesthesia.

In this guide we give you guide ranges, explain which factors move the price, what the quote usually includes and why the only reliable figure is the one from a personalised consultation. None of this replaces that consultation.

In summary: what you need to know about the price

  • Mini facelift: approximately 3.500-7.000 €.
  • Full facelift (SMAS): approximately 7.000-15.000 €.
  • Neck lift: approximately 4.000-9.000 €.
  • What drives the price: technique, extent of the area, type of anaesthesia, operating theatre and experience of the team.
  • Non-surgical lift (threads): cheaper, but it is a different treatment with a temporary result.
  • The important thing: these are indicative industry figures; your actual price is set after the consultation.

A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the face and neck to reduce the visible effects of ageing, such as sagging and wrinkles.

A facelift (or rhytidectomy) is surgery that repositions the tissues of the face and neck to correct sagging and the signs of ageing: drooping cheeks, deep folds, a "double chin" and loss of the facial oval. It is not a filler or superficial skin treatment: it works on the deep muscle layer (the SMAS). You can see the details of the procedure on the facelift service page.

How much does a facelift cost?

For reference, these are the indicative ranges seen in Spain depending on the type of facelift. We insist: these are market figures to give you an idea, not a quote, which always depends on each case.

Tipo de liftingApproximate priceWhen it arises
Mini lifting facial3.500-7.000 €Mild-to-moderate sagging, more limited area
Lifting facial completo (SMAS)7.000-15.000 €Flacidez moderada-avanzada de tercio medio e inferior
Neck lift4.000-9.000 €Sagging and bands of the neck, «double chin»
Lift without surgery (tightening threads)Lower cost, temporary resultMild cases; it does not replace surgery

*Indicative ranges for the sector in Spain (not the clinic's prices). The final price is determined at the consultation.

Factors that influence the price

Two «identical» liftings can cost different amounts. These are the factors that weigh the most:

  • The technique: a mini facelift is more limited than a SMAS or deep plane facelift, which are technically more demanding.
  • The extent: middle third, lower third, neck or the whole face; the more areas, the higher the cost.
  • The type of anesthesia: local with sedation or general, with its anesthesia team.
  • The operating room and the centre: operating room time and facilities.
  • The experience of the team and the city.
  • The postoperative period: check-ups, dressings and garments included in the quote.

What does the price usually include?

A serious facelift quote usually includes the surgeon's fees, the anaesthesia and the anaesthetist team, the use of the operating theatre and the postoperative check-ups. Always ask what is and is not included (preoperative tests, compression garments, touch-ups) so that you can compare quotes fairly.

Facelift without surgery: a cheaper alternative?

A non-surgical facelift (tightening threads, radiofrequency, HIFU-type ultrasound) is cheaper and does not require an operating theatre, but it is worth being honest: it does not give the same result as a surgical lift nor does it correct advanced sagging, and its effect is temporary. It may make sense in mild cases or to delay surgery, but it is not a cheap substitute for a facelift. What suits you depends on your degree of sagging and is assessed by the medical team.

How we calculate your quote at Medics Integral Salut

We don’t give fixed prices over the phone because every face is different. Our approach:

  • Consultation: we assess your degree of sagging and which technique suits you.
  • Clear quote: we detail what is included and what is not, with no surprises.
  • Financing: options to spread the cost into instalments.

Facelift financing

A facelift is a private cosmetic surgery. To make it more accessible, you can look into the funding options and spread the cost in instalments; this is assessed together with the quote after the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a facelift cost?
As a guide, in Spain a full facelift costs around 7.000-15.000 € and a mini facelift 3.500-7.000 €. These are reference figures for the sector: the actual price depends on the technique, the extent, the anesthesia and the team, and is agreed after a consultation.
How much does a facial mini lift cost?
A mini facelift typically falls roughly between 3.500 and 7.000 €. As it is a more limited technique than the full lift, it tends to be cheaper, but it is also indicated only for mild or moderate sagging.
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes excess skin from the face and neck to reduce the visible effects of ageing, such as sagging and wrinkles.
It is the surgery that repositions the tissues of the face and neck to correct sagging and the signs of age, acting on the deep muscular layer (SMAS). It is not a filler treatment nor a superficial one.
Does a facelift include the neck?
Not always. A facelift can focus on the middle and lower third of the face, and the neck is treated with a cervical lift that can be done at the same time or separately. Including the neck increases the scope of the surgery and therefore the price.
How long does a facelift last?
Two different things: the surgery takes roughly 2 to 4 hours depending on the technique; and the result, with proper care, usually lasts many years (typically around 10), although the face continues to age naturally.
How much does a non-surgical or thread facelift cost?
It is cheaper than surgery and does not require an operating theatre, but it is a different treatment with a temporary result, indicated for mild sagging. It does not replace a surgical facelift. The price depends on the number of threads or sessions and is assessed at the consultation.
Does a facelift leave a scar?
Yes, but the incisions are designed to be hidden around the ear and in the scalp, so that over time they become barely noticeable.
What is the recovery after a facelift like?
In the first few days there is swelling and bruising that gradually go down; a bandage or garment is used and exertion is avoided. Returning to social life usually happens within 2-3 weeks and the result settles over the months.
Does insurance cover a facelift?
As it is an aesthetic surgery, it is not usually covered by public healthcare or private insurance. It is considered a private treatment, which is why financing options exist.
Is a facelift also performed on men?
Yes. More and more men are having a facelift; the technique is adapted to masculine facial features and the beard pattern so that the result looks natural.
