92 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list AAFPRS (American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), a USA society membership. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 45), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official AAFPRS registry.

What AAFPRS means & how to verify it

American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) is a USA society membership; a surgeon described as a member of AAFPRS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows AAFPRS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 92 such deep plane facelift surgeons here, ranked by the DEEPPLANE™ Score. To verify a specific surgeon, confirm their current standing directly with American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and cross-check their licence with the national medical regulator where they practise. This page reflects the DEEPPLANE™ directory, not an official AAFPRS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

About AAFPRS: what it means for a facelift patient

The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) is the world's largest professional association dedicated to facial plastic surgery.

Founded in 1964, the AAFPRS represents surgeons whose work concentrates on the face, head, and neck; most members trained in otolaryngology or plastic surgery. It is a membership and education body, not a certifying board — the corresponding face-specific certification is issued by the ABFPRS.

AAFPRS fellowship programmes are a common route for surgeons to obtain dedicated post-residency training in facial plastic surgery, including facelift techniques. On a deep plane facelift shortlist, AAFPRS membership signals a face-focused practice; pair it with the surgeon's board certifications when comparing profiles below.

How to verify a surgeon's AAFPRS status

  1. Confirm membership via the AAFPRS surgeon directory at aafprs.org.
  2. Check the surgeon's certifying boards (commonly ABOHNS, ABFPRS, or ABPS) with those boards directly.

Frequently asked questions

What is AAFPRS?
The American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) is the world's largest professional association dedicated to facial plastic surgery. On DEEPPLANE™, AAFPRS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 92 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record AAFPRS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official AAFPRS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold AAFPRS?
92 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list AAFPRS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 45), 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 AAFPRS status?
Treat the AAFPRS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Confirm membership via the AAFPRS surgeon directory at aafprs.org. Check the surgeon's certifying boards (commonly ABOHNS, ABFPRS, or ABPS) with those boards directly. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from AAFPRS.
Does holding AAFPRS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. AAFPRS 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 AAFPRS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list AAFPRS — not an official register maintained by American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at www.aafprs.org directly.
Which countries have the most AAFPRS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, AAFPRS holders are concentrated in USA (80), Lebanon (2), Australia (2). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.

Cada cirujano listado aquí fue añadido por nosotros, no por solicitud: los cirujanos verificados se listan primero. Ningún cirujano puede pagar por su posición. Un nombre sale de esta lista cuando el cirujano nos pide que lo eliminemos —verificamos esa solicitud por correo electrónico o teléfono antes de actuar— o cuando un perfil es incluido en la lista negra, lo que lo bloquea permanentemente de todas las listas automatizadas. La eliminación tampoco está a la venta. Lista leída el 2026-09-19. Cómo elaboramos estas listas.
