Chiang Mai · Cosmetic surgery
Facelift is performed in Chiang Mai by private hospitals and licensed day-surgery clinics. This page sets out the indicative price, what changes it, how long the trip takes, and what to establish with a clinic before you pay anything.
The same procedure name covers different operations. Technique, materials, whether anything is done alongside it, and whether you are treated in a hospital with an overnight bed all change what you are quoted.

Quoted by the clinic
What a starting price means. It is the published figure for the simplest configuration of this procedure — the standard implant, technique or materials. Yours may cost more depending on what you need. Thai hospitals quote a fixed package that states the hospital stay it includes.
Matched on procedure, budget, language and availability. They come back to you with real quotes. You decide who — if anyone — you talk to.
A facelift repositions the deeper tissue of the mid and lower face and removes the skin that becomes surplus once it is lifted. It addresses jowls, the jawline and the neck rather than skin texture.
The name covers a wide range of operations, from a short-scar procedure under sedation to a full deep-plane lift under general anaesthetic taking several hours.
The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Face, neck, and brow are separate territories. A lower-face lift will not change the brow or the eyes.
A lift repositions tissue; it does not resurface skin. Texture and pigment need separate treatment.
Some short-scar procedures are done under local with sedation. A deep-plane lift is normally general anaesthetic.
Volume loss and tissue descent are different problems. Many plans combine a lift with fat grafting.

In writing, in English, before money moves.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.
Everything worth settling before you book, before you fly, while you are in Chiang Mai, and once you are home — including how this goes wrong and how to avoid it. Tick it here, or take it with you.
All of this is settled on paper, before money moves.
Avoidable problems, mostly caused by booking in the wrong order.

No. It is a starting price — the published figure for the simplest version of this procedure. Only a clinic can quote you, and only after examining you and agreeing a plan.
Lower facility and staffing costs, and high procedure volume. It is the same operation, and the major implant and device manufacturers are the same ones used at home.
Around 14 days for most people. The final review and clearance to fly sets the length, not the surgery.
No. Your surgeon sets the date you are fit to fly. Book a flexible return if you can.
No. Clinics working with international patients operate in English. Ask which language your aftercare contact works in.
