Facelift surgery is available at cosmetic hospitals and plastic surgery clinics across Vietnam, particularly in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Prices vary considerably depending on whether you need a mini facelift, conventional facelift, deep plane procedure, neck lift or a combination of procedures.
Based on currently published Vietnamese provider prices, a facelift in Vietnam may cost from around 30,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND or more. Limited procedures tend to fall toward the lower end, while extensive deep plane face and neck surgery can cost considerably more.
For international patients, price should only be one part of the decision. A facelift is major cosmetic surgery, so surgeon qualifications, the surgical facility, anaesthesia, postoperative monitoring and access to follow-up care are particularly important.
How much does a facelift cost in Vietnam?
Current published prices suggest broad ranges such as:
- Mini facelift: approximately 30,000,000 to 65,000,000 VND
- Standard facelift: approximately 55,000,000 to 90,000,000 VND
- Deep plane facelift: approximately 65,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND
- Extensive face and neck procedures: approximately 90,000,000 to 150,000,000 VND or more
- Neck lift: approximately 35,000,000 to 70,000,000 VND
These are reference ranges rather than fixed national prices. The final quotation depends on the technique, areas treated, surgeon, hospital, anaesthesia and whether additional procedures are performed.
Current facelift price examples in Vietnam
Published Vietnamese provider prices show how widely costs can vary.
Gangwhoo Cosmetic Hospital currently publishes facelift options including a mini facelift at around 60,000,000 VND, a total facelift at around 65,000,000 VND and a more extensive facelift package at around 90,000,000 VND.
Other Vietnamese aesthetic surgery providers publish deep plane facelift estimates starting at approximately 65,000,000 to 80,000,000 VND, with more extensive face and neck procedures costing around 90,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND. Combined surgery can reach approximately 150,000,000 VND or more.
Vinmec Hai Phong's 2026 international service price list also includes facial and neck lifting procedures, illustrating that hospital-based pricing can differ from specialist cosmetic surgery clinics.
Prices and packages can change, so request a current written quotation directly from the provider before booking.
What is a facelift?
A facelift, medically known as rhytidectomy, is surgery designed to improve visible signs of ageing in the face and sometimes the neck.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, facelift surgery can address problems such as:
- Sagging facial skin
- Jowls along the jawline
- Deeper facial folds
- Changes in facial fat distribution
- Loose skin around the lower face
- Loose tissue around the neck
A facelift does not stop the ageing process and should not be confused with non-surgical treatments marketed as liquid facelifts, thread lifts or ultrasound lifting treatments.
Mini facelift cost in Vietnam
A mini facelift generally treats a smaller area than a full facelift, often focusing on the lower face and jawline.
Current Vietnamese prices commonly place mini facelift procedures at approximately 30,000,000 to 65,000,000 VND.
However, the term mini facelift is not a single standardised operation. One surgeon may use the term for a relatively limited skin and tissue lift, while another may include deeper tissue repositioning.
Ask exactly which areas and tissue layers will be treated before comparing prices between clinics.
Full facelift cost in Vietnam
A more extensive facelift typically addresses the cheeks, lower face and jawline and may also be combined with neck surgery.
Current Vietnamese published prices commonly fall around 55,000,000 to 90,000,000 VND for standard surgical facelifts.
Patients comparing providers can review the best plastic surgery clinics in Vietnam as a starting point before requesting individual quotations.
Deep plane facelift cost in Vietnam
A deep plane facelift involves surgery in deeper facial tissue layers rather than relying mainly on skin tightening.
Published Vietnamese price estimates commonly place deep plane facelift surgery at approximately:
- 65,000,000 to 80,000,000 VND for some procedures
- 90,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND for more extensive face and neck surgery
- Up to 150,000,000 VND or more when combined with additional facial procedures
The use of the term deep plane does not by itself indicate the quality of the surgery. Experience with the specific technique is important.
Neck lift cost in Vietnam
A neck lift may be performed alone or together with a facelift.
Current published Vietnamese prices generally range from approximately 35,000,000 to 70,000,000 VND, although limited procedures may cost less and more extensive surgery may cost more.
Combining a neck lift with facial surgery usually increases the total cost because of additional operating time and a larger surgical area.
What affects facelift cost in Vietnam?
Several factors can change the final price.
Surgical technique
Mini facelifts, SMAS facelifts, endoscopic procedures and deep plane facelifts are different operations. More extensive surgery generally costs more.
Areas treated
Some quoted prices cover only the lower face. Others include the cheeks, jawline and neck.
Ask exactly which anatomical areas are included.
Surgeon experience
Surgeons with extensive experience in facial plastic surgery may charge higher professional fees.
Experience with the specific technique being proposed is more important than choosing the lowest-priced provider.
Anaesthesia and surgical facility
Costs may differ according to whether surgery takes place in a cosmetic hospital, general hospital or another licensed surgical facility.
General anaesthesia and longer postoperative observation can also increase costs.
Combined procedures
A facelift may be combined with procedures such as:
- Neck lift
- Eyelid surgery
- Brow lift
- Facial fat grafting
- Neck liposuction
Combined surgery generally increases the total price.

What should a facelift quotation include?
Before paying a deposit, ask for a written quotation explaining whether the price includes:
- Surgeon fee
- Anaesthetist fee
- Operating theatre
- Hospital charges
- Preoperative tests
- Medication
- Dressings
- Hospital stay
- Follow-up consultations
- Suture removal
Also ask what additional fees may apply if a complication requires further treatment.
Facelift cost in Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City has one of Vietnam's largest cosmetic surgery markets, with both specialist aesthetic hospitals and plastic surgery departments within larger healthcare facilities.
Prices vary considerably between providers and surgical techniques.
Patients considering surgery in southern Vietnam can compare plastic surgery clinics in Ho Chi Minh City before contacting individual providers.
The popularity of a clinic for injectables or skincare does not automatically indicate equivalent experience with major facial surgery.
Facelift cost in Hanoi
Hanoi also has a large aesthetic surgery market, including private cosmetic hospitals and plastic surgery departments.
Patients considering surgery in northern Vietnam can review plastic surgery clinics in Hanoi.
Confirm which surgeon will perform the procedure, the facility where surgery will take place, current prices and available language support directly with the provider.
Facelift cost in Da Nang
Da Nang has a smaller cosmetic surgery market than Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, but facelift and other facial procedures are available.
International patients already living in central Vietnam may find local treatment more convenient, particularly for follow-up appointments.
See plastic surgery clinics in Da Nang for local options.
How long does facelift recovery take?
Recovery depends on the technique and extent of surgery.
Bruising and swelling are expected during the initial recovery period. Many patients require around two weeks before they feel comfortable returning to many social activities, although residual swelling and altered sensation can last substantially longer.
Final healing develops gradually over several months.
International patients should therefore avoid scheduling facelift surgery at the very end of a short holiday.
When can you fly after a facelift?
There is no universal number of days that is appropriate for every patient.
The surgeon should determine when you are fit to fly based on the operation, postoperative examination and individual recovery.
Leaving Vietnam too quickly can also make it difficult to attend early postoperative appointments or receive treatment if bleeding, infection or another complication develops.
What are the risks of facelift surgery?
Facelift surgery has potential complications, including:
- Bleeding
- Hematoma
- Infection
- Poor wound healing
- Facial nerve injury
- Temporary or persistent sensory changes
- Unfavourable scarring
- Hair loss around incisions
- Asymmetry
- Persistent swelling
- Anaesthesia complications
- Blood clots
Some complications may require additional treatment or further surgery.
Tell the surgeon about all medicines, supplements, medical conditions, smoking and nicotine use before the operation.
How to choose a facelift surgeon in Vietnam
Price should not be the main deciding factor for major facial surgery.
Useful questions include:
- What is your medical and surgical training?
- Are you licensed to perform facelift surgery in Vietnam?
- How often do you perform this specific facelift technique?
- Where will the operation take place?
- Who will provide anaesthesia?
- What is included in the quotation?
- How long should I remain in Vietnam after surgery?
- Who should I contact if a complication develops?
- What follow-up is included?
Be cautious when a consultation focuses primarily on promotions or discounts rather than medical assessment, risks and realistic expectations.
Is facelift surgery cheaper in Vietnam than abroad?
Facelift surgery in Vietnam can cost less than private cosmetic surgery in countries such as the United States, Australia and parts of Western Europe.
However, international patients should calculate the complete cost of medical travel, including:
- Flights
- Accommodation
- Transportation
- Preoperative testing
- Additional recovery days
- Medication
- Follow-up appointments
- Possible treatment of complications
A low surgical price may not represent a low total cost if postoperative care becomes difficult after returning home.
What is a reasonable facelift budget in Vietnam?
For 2026, a practical budget for many surgical facelift procedures in Vietnam is approximately 50,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND.
A limited mini facelift may cost closer to 30,000,000 to 65,000,000 VND, while extensive deep plane face and neck surgery or combined procedures can exceed 120,000,000 VND.
The most useful price is a personalised written quotation after a surgical consultation.
What to remember about facelift cost in Vietnam
Facelift prices in Vietnam vary considerably because the term facelift covers several different surgical techniques.
Mini facelifts may cost approximately 30,000,000 to 65,000,000 VND, conventional facelift procedures often fall around 55,000,000 to 90,000,000 VND, and extensive deep plane face and neck surgery can reach 90,000,000 to 120,000,000 VND or more.
Before comparing providers, confirm whether the quotation includes the neck, anaesthesia, operating theatre, hospital stay, medication and follow-up care.
Most importantly, choose an appropriately qualified surgeon and suitable surgical facility rather than making the decision primarily on price.
