Facelift Cost in Houston: Will I Be Able to Afford a Facelift?
Considering a facelift is as much about value as it is about results. At Boynton Plastic Surgery in Houston, we believe pricing should be clear, individualized, and explained in plain language with no surprises. Because Dr. James F. Boynton tailors every facelift to your facial anatomy, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals, your quote should reflect exactly what you need to achieve a refreshed, natural-looking outcome and not a “one-size-fits-all” package.
The vast majority of facelifts are performed comfortably in-office (and have been for 15 years) with local anesthesia and light oral sedation, a care model that can streamline costs and recovery time while maintaining the meticulous technique patients expect from a board-certified plastic surgeon. This page breaks down what influences facelift costs, what’s typically included in your fee, and how financing can make treatment more accessible for qualified applicants. You’ll also find answers to common questions, such as whether combining procedures can be more economical, so you can plan with confidence.
The best way to receive an accurate price is a one-on-one consultation with our board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston. After a thorough evaluation from Dr. Boynton, he can create a personalized treatment plan and a member of our team will produce a transparent, itemized estimate.
What Does a Facelift Cost in Houston?
At Boynton Plastic Surgery, facelift pricing reflects the customized nature of each procedure and Dr. Boynton’s focus on natural-looking, long-lasting results. For many patients, in-office facelift/neck lift procedures performed with local anesthesia and light oral sedation typically start around $15,000 and upwards based on complexity and the extent of correction desired. A full facelift with a comprehensive neck lift, which can be ideal for more advanced laxity, may be higher due to additional time and technique. Also, Dr. Boynton may recommend adjunctive procedures, such as microfat or nanofat transfer to the face, for optimal results, which can increase the value of a facelift procedure. Because everyone’s anatomy and goals are unique, the most accurate way to understand your investment is to meet with Dr. Boynton for a personal evaluation and itemized quote.
Why Facelift Prices Vary
Several elements determine the final fee for your surgery:
- Type of facelift – Mini/short-scar vs. full facelift with platysmaplasty or additional neck sculpting.
- Anatomic complexity – Degree of skin laxity, jowling, fat distribution, and muscle banding in the neck.
- Technique & time – More advanced lifting of the SMAS and neck tightening may require additional surgical time.
- Complementary procedures – Many patients combine facelift with neck lipocontouring, eyelid surgery, brow lift, fat transfer with microfat or nanofat to the midface, in-office chemical peels, or microneedling.
- Anesthesia approach – Many facelifts here are performed in-office under local anesthesia with oral sedation, which can reduce costs compared to hospital-based general anesthesia; however, some may require the procedure to be performed in another surgical setting utilizing general anesthesia.
- Aftercare needs – Specialized garments or additional follow-ups (when indicated) may modestly affect cost.
Dr. Boynton’s approach emphasizes minimally invasive methods whenever appropriate, helping many patients avoid an overnight hospital stay and benefit from a smoother, more efficient recovery.
Because your face is unique and deserves meticulous care, our facelift pricing reflects the advanced expertise, precision techniques, and natural-looking outcomes our board-certified plastic surgeon is known for. While some practices may advertise lower numbers, patients who choose us understand that investing in quality care helps maximize the potential for both safety and results that stand the test of time.

Facelift Financing & Payment Options
We believe cost should never be the reason you postpone feeling confident. Boynton Plastic Surgery accepts a range of payment options and partners with CareCredit® to offer convenient monthly payment plans for qualified applicants, often with low- or even no-interest promotional options. Many patients prefer plastic surgery financing because it:
- Spreads payments out over time
- Allows you to proceed when you’re ready
- Preserves personal savings for other priorities
You can apply online, by phone, or with help from our team. Approval decisions are typically quick, and you’ll know your spending limit and terms before scheduling.
Additional Frequently Asked Questions About Facelift Costs
Is it cheaper to combine a facelift with other treatments?
Combining procedures—such as a facelift with neck refinement, targeted fat transfer, eyelid surgery, or other plastic surgery procedures—can often be cost-efficient because certain facility and anesthesia components are shared. More importantly, it can yield a more harmonious, top-to-bottom result with a single recovery period. Dr. Boynton will let you know when combining makes sense, versus staging treatments for safety or aesthetic reasons.
When should I apply for facelift financing?
If you’re considering financing, it’s wise to apply before your consultation or shortly after. Early approval clarifies your budget, helps with scheduling, and ensures you’re prepared to place a deposit once you’re happy with the plan. Our team can walk you through the steps and timelines.
Are seasonal specials available?
Promotions may occasionally be available and are typically limited-time offers. The most reliable way to learn about current opportunities is to ask our patient care team during your consultation or to check any practice announcements. Keep in mind that surgical fees are individualized; your quote is based on your anatomy, goals, and the techniques required to achieve natural results.
