About ABOHNS: what it means for a facelift patient

The American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS) is the ABMS member board that certifies otolaryngologists — the surgical specialty covering the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck.

Certification requires completing an accredited otolaryngology–head and neck surgery residency and passing the board's examinations, with certification maintained through continuing requirements. Facial plastic and reconstructive surgery is a recognised area of practice within otolaryngology, so many facial plastic surgeons — including deep plane facelift specialists — hold ABOHNS as their primary board.

An ABOHNS diplomate performing facelifts has surgical training centred on the head and neck. Many additionally sit the separate ABFPRS examination to certify specifically in facial plastic surgery; when comparing surgeons on this page, look at whether ABFPRS appears alongside ABOHNS on their profile.

How to verify a surgeon's ABOHNS status

  1. Verify certification through the ABOHNS website, aboto.org.
  2. Cross-check on the ABMS verification service, certificationmatters.org.
  3. Confirm an active licence with the state medical board where the surgeon practises.

Frequently asked questions

What is ABOHNS?
The American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS) is the ABMS member board that certifies otolaryngologists — the surgical specialty covering the ear, nose, throat, head, and neck. On DEEPPLANE™, ABOHNS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 176 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record ABOHNS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official ABOHNS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold ABOHNS?
176 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ABOHNS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 39), which weighs verifiable identifiers, publications, reviews, and profile completeness. The count reflects our directory at the date shown, not the certifying body's own roll, and it changes as new surgeons are added.
How do I verify a surgeon's ABOHNS status?
Treat the ABOHNS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Verify certification through the ABOHNS website, aboto.org. Cross-check on the ABMS verification service, certificationmatters.org. Confirm an active licence with the state medical board where the surgeon practises. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from ABOHNS.
Does holding ABOHNS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. ABOHNS is one signal of formal training or standing, not a guarantee of outcome, and credentialing systems differ by country. Weigh it alongside the surgeon's deep-plane case volume, before-and-after results, and independent reviews — and always confirm current status and licensure before booking, especially when travelling abroad.
Is this an official ABOHNS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list ABOHNS — not an official register maintained by American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult American Board of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at www.aboto.org directly.
Which countries have the most ABOHNS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, ABOHNS holders are concentrated in USA (169), Australia (1), Canada (1). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.
