Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) Fellow Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons

15 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list FRCS (Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons), a UK fellowship. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 47), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official FRCS registry.

What FRCS means & how to verify it

Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) is a UK fellowship; a surgeon described as a fellow of FRCS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows FRCS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 15 such deep plane facelift surgeons here, ranked by the DEEPPLANE™ Score. To verify a specific surgeon, confirm their current standing directly with the certifying body and cross-check their licence with the national medical regulator where they practise. This page reflects the DEEPPLANE™ directory, not an official FRCS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

About FRCS: what it means for a facelift patient

FRCS — Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons — is a postgraduate surgical qualification awarded by the royal surgical colleges of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The modern intercollegiate FRCS is the exit examination of UK higher specialist surgical training, awarded through the colleges of England, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Ireland. Specialty variants exist — for facelift patients the most relevant is FRCS (Plast), taken in plastic surgery.

DEEPPLANE™ tracks FRCS, FRCS (Plast), FRCSC (Canada), and FRCSI (Ireland) as separate credentials, so this hub lists surgeons who record the general FRCS. For any UK surgeon, the authoritative check is not the fellowship itself but the General Medical Council register, which shows licence status and specialist-register entry.

How to verify a surgeon's FRCS status

  1. Check the surgeon's licence and specialist-register entry on the General Medical Council's online register at gmc-uk.org.
  2. Confirm the fellowship with the awarding college (for example, the Royal College of Surgeons of England at rcseng.ac.uk).

Frequently asked questions

What is FRCS?
FRCS — Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons — is a postgraduate surgical qualification awarded by the royal surgical colleges of the United Kingdom and Ireland. On DEEPPLANE™, FRCS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 15 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record FRCS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official FRCS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold FRCS?
15 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list FRCS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 47), 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 FRCS status?
Treat the FRCS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Check the surgeon's licence and specialist-register entry on the General Medical Council's online register at gmc-uk.org. Confirm the fellowship with the awarding college (for example, the Royal College of Surgeons of England at rcseng.ac.uk). Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from FRCS.
Does holding FRCS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. FRCS 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 FRCS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list FRCS — not an official register maintained by Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult the certifying body directly.
Which countries have the most FRCS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, FRCS holders are concentrated in UK (8), Australia (2), Turkey (1). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.

Elke hier vermelde chirurg is door ons toegevoegd, niet door aanmelding: geverifieerde chirurgen worden als eerste vermeld. Geen enkele chirurg kan betalen voor plaatsing. Een naam verlaat deze lijst wanneer de chirurg ons vraagt deze te verwijderen — wij verifiëren dat verzoek per e-mail of telefoon voordat we actie ondernemen — of wanneer een profiel op de zwarte lijst wordt gezet, wat het permanent blokkeert van elke geautomatiseerde vermelding. Verwijdering is ook niet te koop. Lijst gelezen op 2026-09-19. Hoe we deze lijsten samenstellen.
