A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to address loose, sagging skin, deep wrinkles, sagging cheeks and a less defined jawline caused by ageing. With in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and modern cosmetic surgery techniques, Dr David Cong develops surgical plans tailored to each patient’s signs of ageing and aesthetic needs, aiming to restore facial firmness and overall balance. This article helps Australian patients understand the factors that affect facelift costs in Vietnam, providing more information to help them choose a suitable facelift procedure and plan their treatment.
How Much Does a Facelift Cost in Vietnam?
The cost of a facelift in Vietnam depends on the surgical technique, the degree of ageing, the extent of the procedure and each patient’s individual condition. For facelift procedures with Dr David Cong, the indicative costs are divided into two main categories:
| Surgical scope | Indicative cost |
| Facelift targeting specific areas | From USD 2,316.87 |
| Full facelift | Approximately USD 3,831–5,747 |
Please note: These are estimated indicative prices. The cost for each individual case must be confirmed directly with the clinic after the surgical plan has been determined.
- For patients who wish to address ageing in specific areas, the doctor will assess skin condition, soft tissue and the degree of sagging to determine an appropriate surgical scope.
- A full facelift aims to address multiple signs of ageing across the face as part of an overall surgical plan. Depending on the patient’s condition, the areas considered may include the cheeks, lower face, jawline and neck.
- In addition to the main surgical cost, patients should confirm any related fees, such as consultations, pre-operative tests, anaesthesia, facility fees, medication, follow-up appointments and post-operative care. These items may be charged separately or included in the service package.
- For Australian patients travelling to Vietnam for a facelift, the overall budget should also account for flights, accommodation, local transport and the time required to remain in Vietnam for post-operative monitoring and recovery.

BOOK YOUR CONSULTATIONFactors That Affect the Cost of Facelift Surgery
Below are the factors affecting facelift surgery costs, as explained by Dr David Cong, to help patients better understand why prices can vary from person to person.
The Facelift Technique Selected
Depending on the signs of ageing, the doctor will consider a suitable facelift technique. Each technique involves a different approach and extent of surgical intervention, so the costs also vary.
For example, a patient with sagging mainly around the lower cheeks and jawline may require a different approach from someone who also has sagging in the midface or neck. An examination is therefore necessary to determine the appropriate technique before the specific cost can be established.
The Degree of Ageing and Extent of Surgery
Everyone experiences different degrees of facial ageing. Some people have only mild skin laxity, while others develop deep wrinkles, sagging cheeks, a less defined jawline or excess skin around the neck.
The more complex the condition or the larger the area requiring treatment, the more complex the surgical plan may be. This also affects the cost of the procedure.
Health Condition and Facial Features
Before surgery, the doctor needs to assess the patient’s facial structure, skin quality, soft tissue condition, previous surgical history and overall health. These factors help determine an appropriate surgical approach and identify any issues that need to be considered to support safety during the procedure.
Each patient also has different aesthetic goals. Therefore, the surgical plan needs to be tailored to the individual. At Dr David Cong’s clinic, patients can discuss the areas they wish to address and receive advice based on their actual condition.
Additional Cosmetic Procedures
Some patients may need to combine a facelift with other cosmetic procedures to address additional areas of concern, where clinically appropriate.
Adding other procedures may increase the overall cost. However, not every patient needs multiple procedures. The doctor will assess the patient’s condition and recommend the necessary interventions based on their individual needs.
Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up
A facelift requires a post-operative monitoring plan. Patients should enquire about follow-up appointments, aftercare instructions, how to contact the medical team if unusual symptoms occur, and any related fees. This is an important factor when assessing the total cost, particularly for international patients who need to arrange accommodation in Vietnam
BOOK YOUR CONSULTATIONWhat Is Included in a Facelift Surgery Package in Vietnam?
Depending on the clinic, facelift surgery may be priced as an all-inclusive package or calculated according to the patient’s skin condition and surgical technique. Before making a decision, you should check exactly what the service package includes and whether any additional fees may apply.
The items you should generally ask about include:
- Consultation and pre-operative assessment fees.
- The surgeon’s fee and the cost of using the medical facility.
- Anaesthesia and related medical services.
- Medication and post-operative care instructions.
- Follow-up appointments and recovery monitoring.
- Fees for additional procedures, if required.
- Accommodation, transfers and interpreting services, if available.
Not every surgical package includes all of these items. You should clarify each cost, the services provided and the circumstances in which additional fees may apply so that you can prepare your budget accordingly.
