This is a snapshot of the surgeons listed in our directory, not a census of every facelift surgeon in the world — the table on this page shows the count, board-certification share, and average Google reviews for each country.

Which country has the most deep plane facelift surgeons?

The United States has the most profiled deep plane facelift surgeons (510), followed by Turkey (172). The US is where the deep plane technique was popularised, while Turkey has become the leading international destination — together they account for a large share of the 1,252 surgeons in our directory across 67 countries.

What share of deep plane facelift surgeons are board-certified?

81% (1,011 of 1,252) of the deep plane facelift surgeons profiled on DeepPlane.com list a certifying board. Board-certification rates vary by country — the per-country column on this page shows the share in each. A listed certifying board is one signal of training; always confirm current board status and licensure directly before booking.

How many deep plane facelift surgeons are in Turkey?

DeepPlane.com profiles 172 deep plane facelift surgeons in Turkey — the largest specialist pool outside the United States, of which 67% list a certifying board. Turkey is the leading international destination for deep plane facelifts, combining lower cost with a deep specialist bench.

Is this a complete list of every deep plane facelift surgeon?

No. This is DeepPlane.com's directory snapshot — the surgeons we have profiled and verified — not a census of every facelift surgeon practising worldwide. New surgeons are added continuously and the dataset is refreshed monthly, so counts reflect our directory at the time shown, not official national registries.

What does the average Google reviews column mean?

It is the mean Google review count across the profiled surgeons in that country. It indicates how much public patient feedback is typically available, which varies sharply by market and review culture. It is a discoverability signal, not a quality score — a high or low average does not by itself indicate better or worse surgical outcomes.

How is this surgeon-by-country data collected?

Counts are compiled from DeepPlane.com surgeon profiles: each active profile is grouped by its listed country of practice. Board-certification is counted where a surgeon's certifying board is recorded, and average reviews are the mean Google review count for that country's profiled surgeons. Figures are aggregated from public profile information and refreshed monthly.

How to Read This Dataset

A larger surgeon count signals where deep-plane expertise is concentrated and where you are most likely to find a specialist — but it is not the whole picture. Read each column for what it actually measures:

Surgeons

How many deep plane facelift surgeons DeepPlane.com profiles in that country — 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 country 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 country.

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.
