The guide includes pricing estimates for most facial and neck procedures, not exact prices.

No — the guide is obligation‑free.

Facelift and neck lift procedures can vary in price because every patient’s anatomy, goals, and treatment plan are different.

Several factors may influence the overall cost, including:

• The type of procedure recommended

• Whether the face, neck, or both areas are addressed

• Surgical complexity and duration

• Anaesthesia and hospital facility fees

• Post-operative care and follow-up appointments

The price guide provides general estimates to help patients understand typical costs. However, an exact quote can only be provided after a consultation where your individual circumstances are assessed.

Suitability varies from person to person.

During a consultation, Dr Vlad ILLIE will assess factors such as:

• Skin condition and elasticity

• Facial and neck structure

• Medical history

• Lifestyle factors that may influence healing

The consultation is designed to determine whether a procedure may be appropriate for your circumstances, and to discuss alternative options if needed. Individual results and experiences can vary.

A consultation is an opportunity to discuss your concerns and receive personalised medical advice.

During the appointment, Dr Vlad ILLIE may:

• Review your medical history

• Examine facial and neck anatomy

• Discuss possible procedure options

• Explain potential benefits, limitations, and risks

• Provide an estimated cost based on your treatment plan

You are encouraged to ask questions so you can make an informed decision about your care.

All surgical procedures carry risks and potential complications.

Possible risks may include:

• Bleeding or haematoma

• Infection

• Delayed wound healing

• Temporary or permanent nerve changes

• Scarring

• Reactions to anaesthesia

Dr Vlad ILLIE will explain these risks during your consultation and discuss steps taken to manage them. Following post-operative instructions is important for recovery.

Recovery timelines vary depending on the type of procedure performed and the individual patient.

In general:

• Initial swelling and bruising may occur in the first few weeks

• Many patients gradually return to normal activities over several weeks

• Full healing and final outcomes may take several months

Dr Vlad ILLIE will provide detailed recovery guidance tailored to your procedure and health profile.

After surgery, patients are monitored as they recover from anaesthesia and are given detailed post-operative instructions.

These instructions may include guidance on:

• Caring for surgical dressings and incisions

• Managing swelling and bruising

• Activity restrictions during the early recovery period

• Attending scheduled follow-up appointments

Follow-up visits with Dr Vlad ILLIE allow healing to be monitored and provide an opportunity to address questions during recovery. Individual experiences and healing timelines can vary.

• Anaesthesia Risks
  Reactions to anaesthesia, whether local or general, are possible. It is important to discuss your full medical history with your surgeon and anaesthetist beforehand.
• Bleeding and Haematoma
  Bleeding during or after surgery can lead to a haematoma—an accumulation of blood beneath the skin—which may require prompt medical attention.
• Blood Clots
  Clot formation near surgical sites can occur and may pose serious health risks.
• Infection
  Infections are rare but can occur at incision sites or within deeper tissues, and may require antibiotics or further treatment.
• Scarring
  While incisions are placed along natural skin creases, some patients may develop more visible or raised scars.
• Nerve Injury
  Temporary or, in rare cases, permanent nerve damage may result in numbness, weakness, or altered facial movement, occasionally leading to asymmetry.
• Temporary Numbness
  Changes in sensation around the surgical area are common and typically improve over time.
• Hair Loss
  Temporary or permanent thinning or hair loss may occur near incision sites.
• Facial Asymmetry
  Despite careful planning, some degree of asymmetry may occur and could require revision.
• Skin Loss
  In rare cases, reduced blood supply may lead to skin tissue loss requiring specialised care.

The full range of risks and possible complications associated with facelift surgery will be discussed in detail during your consultation, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and you will also receive written information to review at home; throughout the process, Dr Vlad ILLIE takes every appropriate measure to minimise potential risks and support a safe surgical experience.
