American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) (ASAPS) Member Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons

82 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ASAPS (American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society)), a USA society membership. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 42), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official ASAPS registry.

What ASAPS means & how to verify it

American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) (ASAPS) is a USA society membership; a surgeon described as a member of ASAPS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows ASAPS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 82 such deep plane facelift surgeons here, ranked by the DEEPPLANE™ Score. To verify a specific surgeon, confirm their current standing directly with American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) and cross-check their licence with the national medical regulator where they practise. This page reflects the DEEPPLANE™ directory, not an official ASAPS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

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

  1. Confirm membership via The Aesthetic Society's surgeon directory at theaestheticsociety.org.
  2. Verify the underlying ABPS certification at abplasticsurgery.org.

Frequently asked questions

What is ASAPS?
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. On DEEPPLANE™, ASAPS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 82 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record ASAPS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official ASAPS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold ASAPS?
82 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ASAPS as of 2026-08-05. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 42), 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 ASAPS status?
Treat the ASAPS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Confirm membership via The Aesthetic Society's surgeon directory at theaestheticsociety.org. Verify the underlying ABPS certification at abplasticsurgery.org. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from ASAPS.
Does holding ASAPS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. ASAPS 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 ASAPS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list ASAPS — not an official register maintained by American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society). For authoritative membership or certification status, consult American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (The Aesthetic Society) at www.theaestheticsociety.org directly.
Which countries have the most ASAPS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, ASAPS holders are concentrated in USA (66), Canada (4), Brazil (2). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.
