Curators of the deep plane discipline.
A compilation of public information on deep plane facelift surgeons in 71 countries. Most of it we gathered; very little of it we confirmed — and we publish which is which.
The deep plane facelift is a technique few surgeons do well, and almost nothing a patient is told about a surgeon can be checked. DEEPPLANE™ compiles what is public — credentials as published, before/after work from clinic sources, typical costs by country — and says which parts we confirmed.
Our content is written and edited in-house to an editorial standard set by our medical reviewer; five of our learn pages carry a separately recorded review signature. We never accept paid rankings — profiles are labelled with their verification tier.
What we check — and what we don't
Nothing is checked before a profile is listed. Here is what each of the four states actually means.
Identity & License
Nothing is confirmed here. The profile is built from clinic websites, professional-society directories, Google Business listings and, where available, NPI records. No document is requested and none is checked.
Credentials Review
Board certifications, fellowships, hospital affiliations, and deep plane facelift experience verified.
3 · Badged
From 1 September 2026, keeping a badge requires a DEEPPLANE™ link live on the surgeon's own website. We do not authenticate before/after photographs — no EXIF check, no reverse-image search — and images are collected from public clinic sites, Instagram and YouTube.
4 · Corrected
Anyone — surgeon, patient or reader — can ask us to change or remove something. We do not monitor licence status, disciplinary actions or professional standing, so if one changes, the only way we learn is if someone tells us.
Surgeons who have signed a guide
DEEPPLANE™ has no standing board of named reviewers. Our guides are written and edited in-house to the DEEPPLANE™ editorial standard; a surgeon listed here has signed at least one guide through the surgeon panel, and that guide names them. A signature is independent of the surgeon's directory listing.
