Frequently asked questions

What credentials do deep plane facelift surgeons hold?
Deep plane facelift surgeons typically hold a specialty board certification (such as ABPS or ABFPRS in the US, EBOPRAS in Europe), one or more professional society memberships (ASPS, The Aesthetic Society, ISAPS), and sometimes a fellowship title (FACS, FRACS). Each credential on this page links to a hub listing the DEEPPLANE™ surgeons who record it.
Is a credential hub an official membership registry?
No. Each hub is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list that credential — not an official register maintained by the certifying body. Always confirm a surgeon's current status with the issuing organisation before booking.
How are the surgeons on each hub ranked?
DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score, which weighs verifiable identifiers, publications, reviews, and profile completeness. Both are discoverability signals, not measures of surgical skill — weigh them alongside case volume, before-and-after results, and independent reviews.
