9 Surgeons in Miami

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 Miami 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 9 surgeons on this page, 0 are independently verified today — the rest are listed. How we build these lists.

Verified: the surgeon claimed the page and we confirmed control of the practice domain.

Frequently Asked Questions: Deep Plane Facelift in Miami

Is Miami Safe for Deep Plane Facelift?
Miami is a very safe location for deep plane facelift. AAAASF-accredited facilities, ABFPRS-certified surgeons, and AHCA state licensing of all surgical centers ensure rigorous standards. Miami's large medical tourism industry also means local surgeons have significant experience managing international patient logistics and follow-up.
How Long Should I Stay in Miami After Facelift?
Plan 10–14 days in Miami. Sutures are removed at Day 5–7; most bruising resolves by Day 10–14. Miami's warm, sunny weather makes recovery more comfortable than northern US cities. Many surgeons partner with nearby hotels and recovery concierge services in Coral Gables and Brickell.
Do Surgeons in Miami Speak English?
Yes — English is spoken at all Miami medical facilities. Approximately half of Miami's top cosmetic surgeons are also fluent in Spanish, and several practices offer Portuguese, French, and Creole interpretation for their diverse Latin American and Caribbean patient base.
How Much Does a Deep Plane Facelift Cost in Miami?
A deep plane facelift in Miami 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.

Who Is the Best Facelift Surgeon in Miami?

A shortlist built on signals you can check is more useful: board certification and before/after photos of deep plane cases. 9 surgeons are listed for Miami, and none is independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet.

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 Miami?
DEEPPLANE™ doesn't use your location. 9 surgeons are listed for Miami, and none is independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet.

Surgeon Experience

Location in Miami
Clinics in premium areas of Miami may charge higher facility fees due to real estate costs.

Why Choose Miami for Deep Plane Facelift?

Medical Excellence

Miami is a top US destination for cosmetic surgery with a large Latin American patient base. Surgeons are experienced with diverse facial anatomies and ethnicities.

Paying for it

Most US practices offer surgical financing through providers such as CareCredit or Alphaeon. A $30,000 procedure spread over 24 months comes to roughly $1,250 a month before interest - ask each practice which plans it accepts before booking a consultation.

Expert Tip: Coral Gables and Aventura have Miami's top facial plastic surgeons. Many specialize in multicultural facial aesthetics.

Hospital & Facility Standards in Miami

Miami's top deep plane surgeons operate in AAAASF- or AAAHC-accredited outpatient surgical centers. Baptist Health South Florida and Cleveland Clinic Florida (both in the Greater Miami area) provide hospital-based OR access for complex or combined procedures. Florida state law requires all outpatient surgery centers to be licensed by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA).

Recovery Environment in Miami

Miami's warm, sunny climate (24–30°C year-round) supports comfortable recovery, but direct sun exposure must be strictly avoided for 6 weeks post-surgery to prevent hyperpigmentation and scar darkening. Indoor recovery in air-conditioned Coral Gables homes or hotels is ideal for the first 10 days; shaded park walks can begin around Day 7.

Key Facts: Deep Plane Facelift in Miami

Deep plane facelift in Miami costs $35,000–$75,000
Miami is a hub for Latin American medical tourists
Miami surgeons specialize in diverse facial anatomy
South Florida offers year-round recovery-friendly climate

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery in Miami

Recovery time for deep plane facelift in Miami follows the standard timeline. If traveling to Miami for surgery, plan your stay accordingly.3

Day 1-3
Peak swelling, rest in Miami accommodation
Day 5-7
Sutures removed at surgeon's Miami clinic
Day 10-14
Most bruising resolved, safe to travel home
Week 2-3
Return to social activities, desk work

Local Recovery Tip: Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily from Day 10 onward when outdoors — Miami's UV index is very high year-round and sun exposure to healing scars causes permanent pigmentation changes. Coral Gables's shaded Miracle Mile and Coconut Grove's tree-canopied streets offer protected morning walks suitable from Day 7.

About Deep Plane Facelift in Miami

Miami in USA is an established destination for deep plane facelift surgery, with a DEEPPLANE estimate of $35,000 to $75,000 (midpoint $55,000; 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 9 surgeons in Miami with credentials and before/after photos.

Miami, USA, stands as a distinguished global destination for advanced facial plastic surgery, particularly the deep plane facelift, supported by a robust US healthcare system regulated by entities like the state medical boards and independent accrediting bodies such as the AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities) for outpatient surgical centers. The city hosts approximately 9 highly specialized deep plane facelift surgeons, many with practices concentrated in upscale medical districts like Coral Gables and South Miami. Miami’s market is distinguished by a strong emphasis on board certification through the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery or the American Board of Plastic Surgery, often complemented by academic affiliations with institutions like the University of Miami, ensuring surgeons follow rigorous training paths and adhere to high standards of care.

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. This fee typically encompasses the surgeon's professional fee (often 60-70%), facility fees for the accredited surgical center (15-25%), and anesthesia costs (10-15%). Post-operative follow-up visits are usually included in this package, though specific durations vary. While truly "all-inclusive" packages covering flights and accommodation are less common in the US, clinics generally provide a comprehensive quote for the medical procedures.

For international patients, Miami International Airport (MIA) is the primary gateway, offering direct flights and convenient access to medical districts like Coral Gables and South Miami, typically within a 15-30 minute drive. Most visa-waiver program countries require an ESTA for entry, while others will need a B-2 tourist visa. The optimal recovery season in Miami is from November to April, when the city experiences cooler, drier weather and lower humidity, which can significantly reduce post-operative swelling and improve overall comfort. Recommended neighborhoods for recovery include the tranquil, tree-lined streets of Coral Gables or the serene, bayside community of Coconut Grove, both offering upscale, quiet accommodation options. For gentle, post-operative walks crucial for circulation, the historic streets around the Venetian Pool in Coral Gables provide a peaceful, shaded environment, or the linear park known as The Underline offers urban green space beneath the Metrorail, accessible and convenient for measured strolls.

DEEPPLANE™ Review Council

DEEPPLANE™ editorial standard

— A surgeon is named only when one signs— Per-Article Review Status— Published Standards

The DEEPPLANE™ Review Council is the name under which DEEPPLANE™ publishes its editorial standard; it is not a standing board of named surgeons. Our guides are written and edited in-house to that standard. Review is recorded per article, not claimed for the site as a whole — a guide names a surgeon as its reviewer only when that surgeon has signed it, and says so plainly when none has.
