I am probably going to get my panni covered by insurance and since a very wrinkled face runs in my family and I am already experiencing some...does anyone know the approx cost of a face lift? Or details on the best kind to have..if there are different kinds?
Thanks!

There's a lot that goes into a "facelift" - I had the following done:

Coronal Brow lift (forehead)
lower eyes (you can also get the upper eyelid done but I didn't)
mid face (the cheeks)
neck with muscle tightening - (the neck, obviously)

It's like a Chinese menu however, I would get a few consults and listen to what which procedures board certified plastic surgeons recommend.  Costs vary depending on where you are in the country.  I'm in a high cost area so my work was around $18,000.

I had a lower lift only-- was $4k
Upper bleph was $2500, lower bleph was also $2500.

If it's the fleshiness in your lower face that bothers you, a lower face lift takes care of the landslide.
