DEEPPLANE™ Review Council
Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons

Counts are aggregated from public DEEPPLANE™ surgeon profiles and represent our directory, not an official board registry. Surgeons are grouped by the certifying board listed on their profile; the full official name is shown where we are confident of the expansion, otherwise the value is shown exactly as recorded. Average Google reviews is the mean review count across that board's listed surgeons. Always confirm current board status and licensure directly with the surgeon before booking.

How to Read This Dataset
A board with more surgeons signals which credential is most common among deep-plane specialists — but it is not the whole picture. Read each column for what it actually measures:
Board
The certifying board as recorded on the profile — an abbreviation (e.g. ABPS) or a raw value where no standard abbreviation exists.
Surgeons
How many listed deep plane facelift surgeons list that board — a measure of how common the credential is, not a board's total membership.
Countries
How many distinct countries those surgeons practise in. Some boards (like ABPS) are listed by surgeons well beyond their home country.
Avg Google reviews
Mean public review volume for that board's surgeons — a discoverability signal that varies by market, not a measure of surgical quality.
Confirm before booking. A profile listing a certifying board does not replace your own due diligence. Confirm the surgeon's current board status, licensure, and case experience in the deep plane technique directly before committing — especially when travelling abroad.
