American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) Board-Certified Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons

279 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ABPS (American Board of Plastic Surgery), a USA board certification. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 38), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official ABPS registry.

What ABPS means & how to verify it

American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is a USA board certification; a surgeon described as certified by ABPS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows ABPS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 279 such deep plane facelift surgeons here, ranked by the DEEPPLANE™ Score. To verify a specific surgeon, confirm their current standing directly with American Board of Plastic Surgery and cross-check their licence with the national medical regulator where they practise. This page reflects the DEEPPLANE™ directory, not an official ABPS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

About ABPS: what it means for a facelift patient

The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the specialty board that certifies plastic surgeons in the United States, and one of the member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).

Founded in 1937, the ABPS examines and certifies surgeons in plastic surgery of the entire body. Candidates must graduate from an accredited medical school, complete an accredited plastic surgery residency, and pass the board's written and oral examinations before they can call themselves ABPS diplomates.

ABPS certification is maintained through the board's continuing-certification requirements rather than held as a one-time lifetime title. For a facelift patient, ABPS certification confirms the surgeon completed formal plastic-surgery training and examination within the US system — it does not, by itself, indicate deep-plane-specific case volume, which you should assess separately through before-and-after results and consultation questions.

How to verify a surgeon's ABPS status

  1. Search the surgeon's name in the ABPS certification lookup at abplasticsurgery.org.
  2. Cross-check certification on the ABMS public verification service, certificationmatters.org.
  3. Confirm the surgeon holds an active licence with the medical board of the US state where they practise.

Frequently asked questions

What is ABPS?
The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) is the specialty board that certifies plastic surgeons in the United States, and one of the member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). On DEEPPLANE™, ABPS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 279 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record ABPS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official ABPS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold ABPS?
279 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ABPS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 38), 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 ABPS status?
Treat the ABPS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Search the surgeon's name in the ABPS certification lookup at abplasticsurgery.org. Cross-check certification on the ABMS public verification service, certificationmatters.org. Confirm the surgeon holds an active licence with the medical board of the US state where they practise. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from ABPS.
Does holding ABPS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. ABPS 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 ABPS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list ABPS — not an official register maintained by American Board of Plastic Surgery. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult American Board of Plastic Surgery at www.abplasticsurgery.org directly.
Which countries have the most ABPS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, ABPS holders are concentrated in USA (234), Colombia (5), Canada (5). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.

Çdo kirurg i listuar këtu është shtuar nga ne, jo duke aplikuar: kirurgët e verifikuar listohen të parët. Asnjë kirurg nuk mund të paguajë për vendosje. Një emër largohet nga kjo listë kur kirurgu na kërkon ta heqim — ne verifikojmë atë kërkesë me email ose telefon para se të veprojmë — ose kur një profil futet në listën e zezë, gjë që e bllokon përgjithmonë nga çdo listim i automatizuar. Heqja nuk është gjithashtu për shitje. Lista e lexuar më 2026-09-19. Si i ndërtojmë këto lista.
