About ASAPS: what it means for a facelift patient
The Aesthetic Society (formerly the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, ASAPS) is a US-based professional society of plastic surgeons focused specifically on aesthetic (cosmetic) surgery.
Founded in 1967, The Aesthetic Society is a membership organisation, not a certifying board. Membership is selective: candidates must be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada) and demonstrate substantial experience in aesthetic surgery, with sponsorship from existing members.
Because facelifts are a core aesthetic procedure, Aesthetic Society membership signals a practice weighted toward cosmetic surgery rather than purely reconstructive work — relevant when choosing a deep plane facelift surgeon, whose results depend heavily on aesthetic case volume.
How to verify a surgeon's ASAPS status
- Confirm membership via The Aesthetic Society's surgeon directory at theaestheticsociety.org.
- Verify the underlying ABPS certification at abplasticsurgery.org.

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.
