Why published neck lift prices differ
Synchrony's study puts the average neck lift at $6,149, while the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reports an average surgeon's fee of $7,885 before anesthesia and the facility. The two come from different surveys and years, so treat them as a range rather than a single price. A neck lift is often done together with a facelift, which raises the total.
When you get a quote, ask for a summary of all costs: the surgeon's fee, facility fee, anesthesiologist fee, prescription medications and post-surgery aids such as compression garments (CareCredit).
Where you live
In Synchrony's state data, averages run from $5,016 in Maryland to $6,809 in Idaho.
Does insurance cover a neck lift?
Almost never. Neck lifts are rarely deemed medically necessary, so they are unlikely to be covered by health insurance or eligible for HSA reimbursement (CareCredit, IRS Publication 502).
Is a neck lift cheaper abroad?
Not necessarily. Our partner clinics in Turkey quote $6,600 to $12,000 for a neck lift, which is not lower than many U.S. prices; see the table above. If you are already planning a facelift abroad, ask for a combined price instead. Read our guide to neck lifts in Turkey.
How to compare quotes
- Ask whether the price covers the surgeon fee, anesthesia fees and the surgical facility, or the surgeon's fee alone.
- Check that you are seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon who operates in an accredited facility.
- Look at before-and-after photos of patients like you, from the same surgeon.
- Ask what follow-up visits, garments and medication are included, and what a revision would cost.
- If you travel, arrange follow-up care at home before you go, as the CDC advises.
Many U.S. practices offer financing options such as CareCredit or Cherry, subject to credit approval; read the terms of any promotional period before you sign.
