## Caption

Find out exactly what I paid for my extended deep plane facelift and what that covered (and didn't cover). This is everything no surgeon will tell you upfront with an honest breakdown from the surgeon himself, Dr. Miguel Mascaro.

Deep plane facelift cost ranges from $50,000 to over $350,000, and most women have no idea what they're actually paying for. In this conversation, Dr. Mascaro — double board-certified, with a 2–3 year waitlist, taking patients only by referral — explains why so many women come out of surgery not looking like themselves (it almost always comes down to three predictable mistakes), what he looks for in the first five minutes of a consultation, why the "down-sell" is the biggest green flag you can get from a surgeon, and why waiting too long is one of the most common and costly decisions women make.

I walk through every procedure I had — extended deep plane face and neck lift, CO2 laser, upper blepharoplasty, hyperbaric recovery — what I chose not to do and why, and the exact total cost on screen.

If you've been researching facelift after 40, wondering how to find the right plastic surgeon, or trying to understand whether a deep plane facelift is worth it, this is the most honest, research-backed conversation I've found on the subject.
