Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Seattle (2026)

10 active facelift surgeons are listed in the DeepPlane registry for Seattle as of August 2026 — from facial-plastic practices on First Hill and in Bellevue to university-affiliated surgeons across Puget Sound. The 8 below all carry NPI-checkable identities, ordered by verification status first, then the public DeepPlane Score — never by payment.

Seattle's facelift market is anchored by an unusually academic bench — several of the surgeons below trained or teach in university facial plastic surgery programs — which makes the credential check straightforward: confirm the board (ABPS, ABFPRS or ABOHNS), then confirm the Washington license. Every surgeon below links to a full DeepPlane profile.

Who Are the Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Seattle?

8 surgeons shown of 10 listed in the registry. Verified surgeons are always listed first — order within each verification band comes from the public DeepPlane Score. No surgeon can pay for placement. Registry read on 2026-08-13 — the live directory may have moved since.

How This List Is Built

  • Verified first, always. Surgeons who claimed their profile and confirmed control of their practice email domain (Medical Advisor, then Verified tier) are listed before unverified registry listings — that ordering is editorial policy, not a score outcome.
  • Transparent order within each band. The public DeepPlane Score (verification & identity, credentials, academic record, patient signals, transparency — 0-100) sets the order inside each verification band, computed live from registry data.
  • No paid placement, no prices. No surgeon can pay to appear or to move up, and this page carries no price claims — cost questions belong on the sourced cost guide.
  • What takes a name off. A surgeon leaves this list the moment they leave the registry — license action, failed identity verification, practice closure or the registry blacklist. The same removals the live directory applies, applied here on the next read.

How to Vet a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Seattle

Board certification, then the board itself

The surgeons on this page certify under ABPS, ABFPRS, ABOHNS or ABOMS — ask which board, then verify the claim directly in that board's own public lookup, not on the practice's website. Then confirm the NPI: every US clinician has a public record in the NPPES registry (npiregistry.cms.hhs.gov), and every surgeon baked into this page carries one.

The Washington Medical Commission lookup

Washington publishes license status, conditions and disciplinary actions through the Medical Commission's free Provider Credential Search (wmc.wa.gov). It takes under a minute and shows you what a consultation never will: whether the license carries restrictions. Ask separately which accredited facility your surgery would take place in and who administers anesthesia there.

Questions that separate deep plane from marketing

  • How many deep plane facelifts do you perform per year, and what share of your practice is facial surgery?
  • Do you release the facial retaining ligaments and reposition the SMAS as a composite flap — and can you walk me through where your plane of dissection runs?
  • Can I see before-and-after photos of patients my age, including results at one year or later?
  • Which accredited facility is the surgery performed in?
  • Who administers anesthesia, and what is your revision policy?

For a structured walkthrough of the consultation itself, see the deep plane facelift consultation guide.
