Anesthesiologist fees will vary, as will the costs of the facility's surgical equipment and staff. The length and complexity of the neck lift will determine the overall cost. You can combine a neck lift and a facelift to lower the overall cost.
General anesthesia is expensive, but it is vital for any surgical procedure. The number of anesthesia doses administered can have an impact on the cost of the entire procedure. A general anesthetic can often be more expensive that a local. Anesthesia is used for the entire procedure, so you need to make sure you have enough money for the procedure.
