Facts about DEEPPLANE™

DeepPlane.com is an independent, non-commission directory and reference for deep plane facelift surgery. It takes no advertising and no sponsored listings. Its revenue is a fixed per-inquiry fee that surgeons pay to open a matched patient's contact details; that fee is never a percentage of the surgery price, and it never buys a ranking or a badge.

What verified means

A DEEPPLANE™-verified profile means the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website (or a dated reprieve stands in for it) and the profile is verified as the surgeon’s: they claimed it and we approved the claim on proof of control, such as a code sent to the practice email on file or our link on the surgeon’s own site, or, for an unclaimed profile, DEEPPLANE™ verified it on evidence that ties that website to the surgeon or on public signals such as Google reviews. It is not a check of board certification, licence status, photographs or identity. What we do and do not check.

The mechanism is the link: a surgeon verifies a profile by placing a link to it on the practice's own website, and our verifier reads that site. There are no documents to send and nothing to buy. The surgeons verified today are listed here.

Questions

What is DeepPlane.com?

DeepPlane.com is an independent, non-commission directory and reference for deep plane facelift surgery. It lists surgeons compiled from public sources, publishes cost comparisons by country, and marks the profiles whose owners have verified them. It takes no advertising and no sponsored listings.

What does a DEEPPLANE™ verified badge mean?

A DEEPPLANE™-verified profile means two things: the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website, and the profile has reached the verified tier. The tier is reached in one of three ways: the surgeon claimed the profile and we approved the claim on proof of control — a one-time code received at the practice email address already on the profile (if that address was given to us by the person claiming or by an earlier claimant, a second proof is needed), a code received at another address on the practice’s own web domain backed by a second signal, the badge on their own site carrying that mailbox’s invitation token, the DEEPPLANE™ link live on their own website, our link or the claim code in the bio of the Instagram account on file together with a second proof, or an uploaded document whose printed name an AI reading matched, together with other matching signals (a person decides only the claims these checks do not settle); or nobody claimed it and evidence we did not type ties the website carrying the badge to the surgeon (a public register or Google Business Profile naming the same website, the phone number on file printed on the page, or two weaker signs); or an administrator promoted it on public signals (30 or more Google reviews rated 4.3 or higher, a matched Google place, and a board, hospital or website signal). A dated reprieve can stand in for the live badge while our checker cannot read a surgeon’s site or we have given the surgeon time to add it; such a profile also needs one approved before-and-after case the surgeon has spoken for, and the verified roster marks it “Link not confirmed”. We read public registers kept by neither the surgeon nor us (the US NPPES registry, the ABFPRS physician finder, the public member directories of ISAPS, BAAPS and IBCFPRS, and the Turkish Ministry of Health register, which authorizes a facility, not a surgeon; a society directory shows membership, not a board certification) and match surgeons to them where we can. For some surgeons in France we also match by name, specialty and city to the national RPPS open directory; that shows a name is listed with the specialty, not that the licence is current. We screen US surgeons who carry an NPI against the HHS OIG exclusion list every week; a match is reviewed by the founder before anything on the profile changes. We do not query any board of certification (ABPS, EBOPRAS), any national licensing body (GMC and equivalents), any other society roster (AAFPRS, ASAPS), or any adverse-event register. We do not check identity documents, authenticate photographs, or monitor licence status. Board certifications shown are as listed in public sources or as entered by the surgeon in their own panel, and are not confirmed with the issuing board.

How does DEEPPLANE™ make money?

Surgeons fund a prepaid wallet and pay a fixed per-inquiry fee when they choose to open a matched patient's contact details. The fee is never a percentage of the surgery price, badges and rankings are never sold, and wallet activity does not affect ranking.
