The cost of facelift surgery in the UK can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of face lift you choose, the surgeon's experience, the clinic's location, and the complexity of the procedure. Understanding what’s included in the cost and potential extra fees is essential for making an informed decision.
As per the NHS website, facelift costs in the UK can range from a few thousand pounds for a Mini Facelift to £10,000 or more for a combined Face and Neck Lift. On average, most patients can expect to pay between £6,000 and £12,000 for a traditional facelift. However, the price can go higher if additional treatments or surgeries, such as eyelid surgery or liposuction, are included as part of a bespoke rejuvenation package.
At Bella Vou, we offer a transparent pricing structure with no hidden fees. Our facelift costs start from £25,795, including everything from initial consultations to follow-up care, ensuring you receive comprehensive care throughout the process.
Factors That Affect Facelift Cost
Type of Facelift Procedure
The specific type of facelift you opt for will directly impact the price. Common options include:
- Mini Facelift – A less invasive option focused on the lower face and neck, ideal for patients in their 40s or 50s. Typically more affordable, mini facelift prices in the UK range from £4,000 to £7,000.
- Traditional Full Facelift – A more extensive procedure that targets both the upper and lower face, restoring youthful contours to the cheeks, jawline and neck. Full facelift costs in the UK typically range from £7,000 to £12,000.
- Deep Plane Facelift – Bella Vou offers an innovative new type of facelift that is less invasive than a traditional facelift. It can be performed under local anaesthetic to ensure less bruising, a faster recovery, reduced downtime and fewer complications. This combined procedure lifts the face in a way that looks natural and refreshed. The Concept™ Facelift is ‘result driven’, meaning we will use every technique, device and technology to get you the best possible outcome. You can expect to pay between £28,795 and £32,500 for this procedure.
- Face and Neck Lift – A combination surgery that addresses both the face and neck area for a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Expect to pay between £25,795 and £32,500 for a combined face and neck lift.
Additional Treatments and Procedures
Many patients combine their facelift with other cosmetic treatments to enhance results. For example:
- Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty) – Can be added to a facelift for a more youthful appearance, especially if drooping eyelids are a concern. This can add £4,500 to £10,962 to the overall cost.
- Vaser Liposculpture and Renuvion Skin Tightening – These treatments can tighten the skin and contour the face and neck. They may be included in more comprehensive facelift packages, raising the total cost to £20,000 or more.
- Fat Transfer (Re-volumizing) – Restoring volume to areas such as the cheeks or under the eyes can add between £2,000 and £3,000.
Surgeon Expertise and Clinic Location
The experience and skill of the surgeon play a significant role in the cost. Renowned cosmetic surgeons with extensive expertise may charge higher fees, but their results are often worth the investment. Additionally, clinics in metropolitan areas like London or Manchester may have higher overhead costs, influencing the price.
Inclusion of Aftercare
Some clinics may quote a lower price but then add extra costs for follow-up consultations, medications, or nursing care. At Bella Vou, we include comprehensive aftercare in our facelift prices, ensuring you have the support you need throughout your entire recovery journey. This includes follow-up appointments, manual lymphatic drainage and any necessary revision treatments.

Additional Considerations When Looking at Facelift Prices
- Is a Mini Facelift Enough? A mini facelift may offer a more affordable option, but it may not provide the long-lasting results of a full facelift. Consider whether the mini facelift will give you the rejuvenation you desire or if combining it with a neck lift or eyelid surgery is necessary for optimal results.
- Recovery Time and Invasiveness A full facelift generally involves more extensive surgery, which means a longer recovery time. Traditional facelifts may require up to 6-8 weeks of recovery time, while minimally invasive procedures like the Concept™ Facelift offer faster recovery and less downtime.
- Payment Plans and Financing At Bella Vou, we offer flexible payment plans, including 0% APR financing, to make your facelift more affordable. Our payment options allow you to spread the cost of surgery over time, giving you access to world-class cosmetic care without financial stress.
