Global Surgeon Coverage by City
Every city with at least 3 of the 1,350 profiled deep plane facelift surgeons, sorted by the number of surgeons. “Board-certified” is the share of that city's profiled surgeons who list a certifying board.
Counts are aggregated from public DEEPPLANE™ surgeon profiles and represent our directory, not a municipal or national registry. Board-certification is counted where a certifying board is listed; average Google reviews is the mean review count across that city's profiled surgeons. Always confirm current board status and licensure directly with the surgeon before booking.

How to Read This Dataset
A larger surgeon count signals where deep-plane expertise is concentrated in a specific metro area — often a sharper signal than country-level counts, since a single city (like Istanbul) can hold the majority of a country's specialists. Read each column for what it actually measures:
Surgeons
How many deep plane facelift surgeons DEEPPLANE™ profiles in that city — a measure of specialist availability, not total demand.
Board-certified %
The share with a listed certifying board. A useful training signal, but board systems differ by country, so compare within a similar market rather than across very different systems.
Avg Google reviews
Mean public review volume — a discoverability signal that varies by market and review culture, not a measure of surgical quality.
Directory snapshot
These are the surgeons we have profiled and verified, refreshed monthly — not a census of every facelift surgeon in a city.
Confirm before booking. A profile listing a certifying board does not replace your own due diligence. Confirm the surgeon's current board status, licensure, and case experience in the deep plane technique directly before committing — especially when travelling abroad.
