2 Surgeons in Manila

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 paid tier, then surname. Between tier 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 Manila 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 2026-10-04. Of the 2 surgeons on this page, 1 are independently verified today — the rest are listed. How we build these lists.

Planning Your Trip: 5 Steps

Book a video consultation first

Talk directly to the surgeon (not just the coordinator) to confirm they speak your language well and understand your goals — this conversation is the single most important step.

Verify board certification independently

Confirm the surgeon's national or international board membership directly on the certifying body's official registry — do not rely on marketing claims.

Plan for 10-14 nights

Arrive a day or two before surgery for pre-op tests and consultation. Stay through suture removal and your first follow-up visit before flying home.

Purchase medical-travel insurance

Standard travel insurance excludes elective-surgery complications — a dedicated medical-tourism policy typically costs $100-$250 and covers return flights and extended hospitalization.

Bring a companion

You won't be able to navigate independently for the first 3-5 days post-surgery. A companion handles logistics and reduces stress during early recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions: Deep Plane Facelift in Manila

How Much Does a Deep Plane Facelift Cost in Manila?
Deep plane facelift pricing in Manila is set per surgeon by deep-plane experience, facility standards, and case complexity rather than a fixed local rate. Get itemized quotes — surgeon fee (40–60%), facility (20–30%), anesthesia (10–15%), and 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 Manila?
We do not publish an average of surgeons' prices for Manila. The DEEPPLANE estimate is about $7,500, 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 Manila?
Manila has 2 deep plane facelift surgeons 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 Manila?
DEEPPLANE™ lists 2 deep plane facelift surgeons in Manila. Board certifications are shown as listed in public sources or as entered by the surgeon in their own panel (2 of 902 entered by the surgeon, as of October 3, 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 Manila a Good Location for Deep Plane Facelift?
Manila is an option for deep plane facelift surgery with 2 specialists available. When choosing Manila for your procedure, consider surgeon credentials, facility accreditation, and post-operative care availability.
What is the Recovery Time for Deep Plane Facelift in Manila?
Recovery time for deep plane facelift in Manila follows the standard timeline: 7-10 days for most social activities, with bruising resolving by day 10-14. If traveling to Manila for surgery, plan to stay at least 7-10 days post-procedure for initial follow-up appointments and suture removal.
What Should I Look for in a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Manila?
When selecting a deep plane facelift surgeon in Manila, 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 Manila?
Deep plane facelift in Manila is safe when performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at an accredited facility. Complication rates at top Manila 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 Should I Stay in Manila After Deep Plane Facelift?
Plan to stay in Manila for 7-10 days after deep plane facelift. Day 1-3 requires rest, sutures are removed at day 5-7, and most bruising resolves by day 10-14. Your surgeon will schedule follow-up appointments before you travel home.
Does Insurance Cover Deep Plane Facelift in Manila?
Deep plane facelift is considered a cosmetic procedure in Manila 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 Manila 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 Manila?
A productive first consultation in Manila 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 Manila 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 Manila?
Yes, combining deep plane facelift with complementary procedures is common and often preferable in Manila — 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 Manila 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 Manila?
Our directory lists 2 deep plane facelift surgeons in Manila. 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 Manila 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 Manila, look for consistent lighting and angles and ask each surgeon for cases matching your age and anatomy.

Top-ranked surgeons currently include Aicee Bernal, Claudine Roura. 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.
Who Is the Best Facelift Surgeon in Manila?
No single surgeon is objectively "best" — the honest answer is a shortlist built on verifiable signals: board certification, documented deep-plane case volume (50+ per year), verified Google review history, and depth of deep-plane-specific before/after photos. The ranked roster on this page applies exactly these criteria to Manila's verified deep plane facelift surgeons so you can compare candidates side by side instead of relying on any one clinic's marketing.
Is There a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon Near Me in Manila?

About Deep Plane Facelift in Manila

Manila in Philippines is an option for deep plane facelift surgery, with a DEEPPLANE estimate of $5,000 to $10,000 (midpoint $7,500; our estimate, not a surgeon's quote). The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial structures beneath the SMAS layer for natural-looking, long-lasting results.1 Our directory lists 2 surgeons in Manila with credentials and before/after photos.

Manila, Philippines, is emerging as a compelling destination for deep plane facelift procedures, supported by its growing private healthcare sector. While individual clinics may not hold international accreditations like JCI, many of the major hospitals where procedures are performed do. Facial plastic surgery practices are notably concentrated in upscale districts like Makati City, particularly around Ayala Avenue and Salcedo Village, and the modern Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in Taguig. Surgeons in the Philippines typically undergo rigorous training, often completing residencies in general surgery followed by specialized fellowships in plastic and reconstructive surgery, culminating in board certification from the Philippine Board of Plastic Surgery. Many hold affiliations with prominent academic institutions or medical centers, ensuring a high standard of care.

This pricing typically includes the surgeon's fee (often the largest component), facility charges, anesthesia costs, and essential post-operative follow-up appointments. All-inclusive packages, covering initial consultations, the surgical procedure, and several post-operative checks over a 7-14 day stay, are common for international patients seeking a comprehensive experience.

Travel to Manila is facilitated by Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL), which offers direct connections to numerous global hubs. Transfer times to medical districts like Makati or Bonifacio Global City can vary from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on Manila’s notorious traffic. Many nationalities, including those from the US, UK, Canada, and EU, enjoy visa-free entry for up to 30 days. The ideal recovery season is during the cool, dry 'Amihan' period, from December to February, when lower humidity minimizes discomfort and may aid in reducing post-operative swelling. Recommended accommodation in Makati, near the Greenbelt and Glorietta malls, provides access to safe, covered walkways, allowing for discreet, gentle walks vital for recovery. The Ayala Triangle Gardens offers a serene green space for quiet contemplation and light exercise.
