A facelift is considered a cosmetic procedure, so medical insurance will not pay for it. The costs are usually threefold: the doctor's fee, the anesthesia fee and the facility fee. The facility can either be for the doctor's office, a surgery center or a hospital. If you choose to stay over in a hospital after a facelift, which many patients do, there is obviously that included fee.
