How much does facelift cost in Charlotte, NC?

The complexity of the facelift impacts the cost, including additional procedures like facial liposuction, platysmaplasty, buccal fat excision, brow lift, eyelift, and facial fat grafting.
How can I prepare for a facelift?
Preparation begins weeks before your surgery. We advise patients to stop taking certain medications and supplements that may increase bruising after the surgery. We will also provide a list of instructions to make your recovery process as smooth as possible. You may contact our Charlotte office if you have any questions before your surgery.
How long will my facelift last?
A facelift can be expected to last 10 years or more, but results depend on the patient’s skin care routine and lifestyle.
Are there any age restrictions for undergoing a facelift?
There is no age restriction to receive a facelift, but the surgery is most effective for those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s because those are the age ranges in which the signs of aging become more apparent.
Does insurance ever cover facelift in Charlotte?
Cosmetic surgeries like a facelift are not typically covered by insurance.
How long will I need to plan on staying for my facelift if I'm traveling from out of town?
If traveling from out of town, plan to spend at least one week in Charlotte so we can monitor your initial recovery process. Our concierge services will assist you with any booking and transportation arrangements to make your stay as stress-free as possible. You may also spend your first night post-surgery in our Fairview Recovery Retreat, where you will receive round-the-clock care in a luxurious setting.
What happens if I have problems after my surgery?
Our patient care continues long after your surgery is complete. We are always available to answer your questions, or you may schedule a follow-up visit for any issues or complications you might have.
What happens if I have problems after my facelift if I live in another state?
We advise our patients coming from another town or state to plan a week’s stay in Charlotte since potential problems are most likely to arise during this time. If you encounter an issue once you return home, you may contact us via phone so we can assist you.
Are there non-surgical offers before I commit to a surgical facelift procedure?
For patients looking to optimize their facelift surgery before and after results, there are non-surgical procedures that can be combined with a facelift or even delay the need for a facelift.
Filler injections, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, or medical-grade skin care products can help rejuvenate the skin and correct signs of aging.
Does a facelift leave scars?
Any incision or cut can leave a scar but facelift scars should be inconspicuous. Dr. Kulbersh is especially skilled in precisely making incisions along the hairline and ears and closing them with no tension, allowing the scars to heal to the point of being nearly invisible.
Watch this video of Dr. Kulbersh explaining how he hides scars during a facelift procedure and ensures natural-looking results.
Should I delay my facelift if I'm planning to lose weight?
Yes. Weight loss can change the shape of your face, which may affect your results and how long they last. Patients should reach their desired weight loss goal or achieve a stable weight before proceeding with their facelift. Patients need to be within 20 pounds of the desired weight.
