1 Surgeon in Fort Lauderdale

Ordered by whether the surgeon can be identified independently of us, then whether that identity is disputed, then the verification level shown on the card, then how early the profile was claimed, then surname. Payment does not enter the order. Between claim date and surname, the better-known surgeon comes first: patient reviews, how often the name is searched, public following, an encyclopedia entry and published research. Being better known is not being better. How we verify every surgeon

Verification is not a filter. Every surgeon we list in Fort Lauderdale with an active listing appears here, verified or not: verification changes the label on the card and the position in this order, never whether someone is on the page. Nobody can pay to appear, and nobody is removed for not paying. A surgeon can remove their own listing at any time after confirming a one-time code. It takes effect immediately, is reversible for 48 hours, and after that the profile is blocked from being listed again. We also deactivate a listing when a consent is rejected, when a correction ticket resolves that way, or on an editorial decision.

Request Quotes

Every surgeon listed here was added by us, not by applying: verified surgeons are listed first. No surgeon can pay for placement. A name leaves this list when the surgeon asks us to remove it — we verify that request by email or phone before acting — or when a profile is blacklisted, which permanently blocks it from every automated listing. Removal is not for sale either. Roster read on 2026-10-12. Of the 1 surgeons on this page, 0 are independently verified today — the rest are listed. How we build these lists.

Frequently Asked Questions: Deep Plane Facelift in Fort Lauderdale

How Much Does a Deep Plane Facelift Cost in Fort Lauderdale?
A deep plane facelift in Fort Lauderdale generally starts around $35,000, with published United States ranges of $35,000–$75,000 for most board-certified specialists (celebrity-tier surgeons charge more) covering surgeon, facility, and anesthesia fees. The exact figure depends on the surgeon's deep-plane case volume and your anatomy — get itemized quotes (surgeon fee 40–60%, facility 20–30%, anesthesia 10–15%, follow-up care) from 2–3 of the surgeons listed on this page and compare like for like.
What Is the Average Deep Plane Facelift Price in Fort Lauderdale?
We do not publish an average of surgeons' prices for Fort Lauderdale. The DEEPPLANE estimate is about $55,000, the midpoint of our editorial band for the country: not a surgeon's quote, and your price is set in a written quote after consultation. A full quote should cover the surgeon's fee, anesthesia and facility fees. Confirm what each quote includes before comparing, and treat a price far below the local range as a reason to double-check credentials rather than a bargain.
How Many Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons Are in Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale has 1 deep plane facelift surgeon listed in our directory. These facial plastic surgery specialists offer varying levels of experience and pricing. We recommend consulting with multiple surgeons to compare credentials, before/after photos, and experience.
How Many Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons Does DEEPPLANE™ List in Fort Lauderdale?
DEEPPLANE™ lists 1 deep plane facelift surgeon in Fort Lauderdale. Board certifications are shown as listed in public sources or as entered by the surgeon in their own panel (1 of 909 entered by the surgeon, as of October 12, 2026); none of them has been confirmed with the issuing board by DEEPPLANE, which does not query it. We hold no case-volume data. Unlike clinic-booking marketplaces, DEEPPLANE™ takes no commission from surgeons, so the ranking reflects credentials and published before/after results, not who paid most. Compare profiles, then request a consultation; surgeons are never contacted directly by patients.
Is Fort Lauderdale a Good Location for Deep Plane Facelift?
Fort Lauderdale is an option for deep plane facelift surgery with 1 specialist available. When choosing Fort Lauderdale for your procedure, consider surgeon credentials, facility accreditation, and post-operative care availability.
What is the Recovery Time for Deep Plane Facelift in Fort Lauderdale?
Recovery after a deep plane facelift in Fort Lauderdale follows the standard timeline: most patients are socially presentable in 10-14 days as bruising settles, desk work resumes around two weeks, strenuous exercise waits 4-6 weeks, and residual swelling fades over 3-6 months.
What Should I Look for in a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Fort Lauderdale?
When selecting a deep plane facelift surgeon in Fort Lauderdale, verify board certification in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery, review before/after photos of deep plane procedures specifically, confirm their professional qualifications, and ensure the surgeon performs at least 50+ deep plane facelifts annually.
Is It Safe to Get a Deep Plane Facelift in Fort Lauderdale?
Deep plane facelift in Fort Lauderdale is safe when performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at an accredited facility. Complication rates at top Fort Lauderdale clinics are comparable to international standards at 1-3%. Always verify the surgeon's credentials, facility accreditation (JCI or equivalent), and ask to see at least 50 before/after cases.
How Long Will I Need Off Work After a Deep Plane Facelift?
Plan for roughly two weeks away from a desk job: sutures come out at day 5-7 and most bruising settles by day 10-14. Physically demanding work needs 4-6 weeks. Many patients schedule surgery ahead of a quiet fortnight and return to the office, with makeup, at two weeks.
Does Insurance Cover Deep Plane Facelift in Fort Lauderdale?
Deep plane facelift is considered a cosmetic procedure in Fort Lauderdale and is not covered by public health insurance (public health plans) or by most private insurance policies. Medical-necessity exceptions are extremely rare and typically require post-traumatic reconstruction with documented functional impairment — a pure aesthetic facelift never qualifies. Many Fort Lauderdale surgeons offer interest-free monthly financing plans (CareCredit-equivalent in markets that have local options) with 12-36 month terms. Expect to pay out-of-pocket or through a third-party medical financing provider; ask the surgeon's scheduler for a line-item cost estimate early so you can plan accordingly rather than discovering surprise fees after booking.
What Questions Should I Ask a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Fort Lauderdale?
A productive first consultation in Fort Lauderdale covers six specific topics: (1) How many deep plane facelifts specifically has the surgeon performed — 200+ is the threshold where the technique becomes consistent; years of general facelift experience is not equivalent. (2) Show 3-5 before/after cases of patients similar to you in age, gender, skin type, and bone structure, taken in matched lighting and angles. (3) Their specific complication rate with numbers — hematoma, facial nerve injury, hypertrophic scarring, revision rate — and exactly how they would handle each. (4) Who administers anesthesia (board-certified anesthesiologist vs CRNA) and whether the facility is accredited (JCI internationally, AAAASF/AAAHC in US). (5) Total out-the-door cost in writing: surgeon fee, facility, anesthesia, garments, medications, 12-month follow-up. (6) Exactly who performs the surgery from start to finish — will a trainee or another surgeon do any portion? Top Fort Lauderdale surgeons expect and welcome all six questions; evasive answers on any one of them is a meaningful signal.
Can I Combine Deep Plane Facelift with Other Procedures in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, combining deep plane facelift with complementary procedures is common and often preferable in Fort Lauderdale — one anesthesia, one recovery period, one consolidated cost. The most frequent combinations (in order of clinical fit): (a) neck lift / platysmaplasty — performed as a single contiguous dissection in most modern protocols; rarely billed as a separate procedure. (b) upper and/or lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) — adds 30-60 minutes of operating time and addresses the hollowed under-eye or hooded upper lid that facelift alone cannot reach. (c) fat transfer from abdomen/thighs to midface or temples, for volume restoration in a deflated face. (d) brow lift for upper-third aging. (e) skin resurfacing (laser, chemical peel) — usually staged to the 3-6 month mark after the facelift heals rather than done same-day. Combinations that are not recommended same-day: rhinoplasty (airway swelling risk), breast or body surgery (operating-time and blood-loss limits), dental surgery (mouth bacteria exposure). Ask your Fort Lauderdale surgeon for their combined-procedure protocol and total operating-time limit — most experienced surgeons cap a single session at 6-7 hours.
Which Clinics Offer Deep Plane Facelift in Fort Lauderdale?
Our directory lists 1 deep plane facelift surgeons in Fort Lauderdale. We do not hold facility-accreditation data. Rather than choosing a clinic first, verify the individual surgeon's board certification and deep plane case volume — the operating surgeon, not the clinic brand, determines the result. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments before you travel home.
Where Can I See Deep Plane Facelift Before and After Photos From Fort Lauderdale Surgeons?
Surgeon profiles linked on this page include before and after photos collected from public clinic sources where the surgeon has published them, and our before and after gallery shows deep plane results by age group and technique. When reviewing before and after photos from Fort Lauderdale, look for consistent lighting and angles and ask each surgeon for cases matching your age and anatomy.
Who Are the Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Fort Lauderdale?
Fort Lauderdale has 1 listed deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory, ranked by our transparent DEEPPLANE™ Score (credentials, board certification, patient outcomes, and verification depth). Top-ranked surgeons currently include John Michael Thomassen. Compare full profiles, before/after galleries, and pricing on this page, and see our guide on how to choose a deep plane facelift surgeon for what to verify in your first consultation.
Is Fort Lauderdale Safe for Deep Plane Facelift?
Fort Lauderdale is one of the safer US cities for facial plastic surgery. AAAASF facility accreditation, ABFPRS or ABPS certification, AHCA oversight, and Holy Cross/Broward Health hospital backup ensure rigorous safety. Top Las Olas practices have sub-1% complication rates with multi-decade experience.
Should I Choose Fort Lauderdale or Miami for Florida Facelift?
Fort Lauderdale offers similar pricing to Miami with a quieter, more relaxed Atlantic coastal recovery environment — particularly favored by yacht-owner clientele and snowbirds. Miami has larger specialist pool, more international flight access via MIA, and bilingual surgical teams for Hispanic patients. Choose Fort Lauderdale for quieter recovery, Miami for surgeon choice.
How Long Should I Stay in Fort Lauderdale After Facelift?
Plan 10–14 days in Fort Lauderdale. Sutures come out at Day 5–7; most bruising resolves by Day 10–14. Las Olas Blvd hotels (Riverside Hotel) and Atlantic beachfront resorts (Ritz-Carlton, Conrad) are within 5–15 minutes of major surgeons' offices. Florida's warm winter weather (December–March) makes recovery walks comfortable from Day 7 onward.
Who Is the Best Facelift Surgeon in Fort Lauderdale?
No single surgeon is objectively "best". A shortlist built on signals you can check is more useful: board certification and before/after photos of deep plane cases. One surgeon is listed for Fort Lauderdale, and that surgeon is not independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet. Listed means we added a public profile; it is not an endorsement. Check a surgeon yourself: look them up in their board's public registry, read their own before/after cases, and ask how many deep plane facelifts they do each year. Our methodology page explains how we verify.
Is There a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon Near Me in Fort Lauderdale?
DEEPPLANE™ doesn't use your location. One surgeon is listed for Fort Lauderdale, and that surgeon is not independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet. Compare them by where they practise, then check a surgeon yourself before you contact anyone: look them up in their board's public registry, read their own before/after cases, and ask how many deep plane facelifts they do each year.

Fort Lauderdale, USA, offers a compelling environment for deep plane facelift patients, operating within the robust American healthcare system, where surgical facilities are often accredited by stringent bodies like the AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities). Facial plastic surgery practices frequently concentrate around vibrant areas such as the Las Olas Boulevard corridor and the quieter, upscale neighborhood of Victoria Park, providing both accessibility and discretion. Surgeons in this market typically hold certifications from reputable boards like the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) or the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), signifying extensive training and adherence to high standards.

The DEEPPLANE estimate for the all-in cost (surgeon, facility and anesthesia) is $35,000–$75,000: our editorial estimate, not a surgeon's quote. Unlike some international markets, all-inclusive packages are less common for deep plane facelifts in the US; instead, costs are typically itemized. Patients can expect to pay for the surgeon’s fee (often 50-70% of the total), facility fee (20-30% for the accredited surgical center), and anesthesia services (10-15%).

Travel to Fort Lauderdale is facilitated by Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), offering convenient access just a 15-20 minute drive to central medical districts and recovery accommodations. For international patients, most visitors from Visa Waiver Program countries require an ESTA prior to travel, while others will need a B-2 tourist visa. The optimal recovery season aligns with Fort Lauderdale's dry season, from November to April, presenting cooler temperatures averaging in the 70s F (20s C) and lower humidity, which can significantly reduce post-operative swelling and enhance overall comfort. Quiet, upscale neighborhoods like Las Olas Isles or Rio Vista provide ideal discreet lodging. Patients can enjoy gentle, restorative walks along the serene Fort Lauderdale Riverwalk, perfect for light activity during the initial recovery phase, benefiting from the city's flat terrain and scenic waterfront.
