That will be the likes of Dr. Jacono, who charges in the range of $250,000.[/quote]

Too much hype about Dr. Jacono. Yes he did some great facelifts but he is also rumored to have a high complication rate.
$250K for a facelift is in the vicinity of what he charges apparently and it's crazy.

You can get an equally great result from a deep plane facelift done by someone in the DMV like Drs. Rad, Bitar or Cohen who charge significantly less.

Np. Any tips or things we should look out for? What do you think is the most important thing when choosing a surgeon?[/quote]

A few tips to choose the right surgeon:

- Look for a "Board Certified Plastic Surgeon " who is also a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.  If seeking Facial work only, you can see someone who is certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery . Make sure that whoever you choose does mostly cosmetic work: You do not want an ENT who is mostly doing sinus surgery to do your facelift or a plastic surgeon who mostly does hand surgery doing your breast augmentation. Please be ware of similar sounding board certifications or societies such as "the American Society of  Cosmetic Surgery" who any doctor who took some weekend class in injecting Botox can join.

- Look at the before and after photos on their website.

- A few other considerations: 
Who provides anesthesia for the surgery? Is it an anesthesiologist or a nurse anesthetist ?  Do they operate in their own surgery center? This is an advantage as the surgeon usually would have the same team with them and thus more consistency/ better outcomes for you. What is the recovery phase after surgery like? How many times will your surgeon see you after your procedure? Some will only see you for 2 months after the surgery, some will keep seeing you until a year after to make sure your healing is going on as planned.

- How frequently does the surgeon perform the procedure you are interested in? Also big plus if they are someone who is invited to conferences to lecture about that procedure to other surgeons.

-Ask if they can give you names of patients who have had that procedure that you can reach out to and ask about how their experience was like (some surgeons will provide this)

That's a good starting point. Best of luck finding the right plastic surgeon for you.

Great advice, but isn’t it safer to have the surgery in a hospital rather than a surgery center?[/quote]
