Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) Fellow Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons

276 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list FACS (Fellow of the American College of Surgeons), a USA fellowship. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 42), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official FACS registry.

What FACS means & how to verify it

Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) is a USA fellowship; a surgeon described as a fellow of FACS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows FACS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 276 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 FACS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

About FACS: what it means for a facelift patient

FACS — Fellow of the American College of Surgeons — indicates that a surgeon's education, training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct have been evaluated and found consistent with the standards of the American College of Surgeons.

The American College of Surgeons, founded in 1913, is a scientific and educational association of surgeons spanning all surgical specialties. Fellowship is applied for after training: candidates must generally hold the appropriate specialty board certification, have an established practice, and pass the College's peer evaluation of their practice and ethics.

The FACS letters are therefore a cross-specialty marker of professional standing — a facelift surgeon with FACS may hold their primary certification in plastic surgery or in otolaryngology. For the specialty signal, read FACS together with the board certifications shown on the surgeon's profile.

How to verify a surgeon's FACS status

  1. Confirm fellowship through the American College of Surgeons at facs.org.
  2. Check the surgeon's primary specialty board certification separately — FACS complements it, it does not replace it.

Frequently asked questions

What is FACS?
FACS — Fellow of the American College of Surgeons — indicates that a surgeon's education, training, professional qualifications, surgical competence, and ethical conduct have been evaluated and found consistent with the standards of the American College of Surgeons. On DEEPPLANE™, FACS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 276 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record FACS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official FACS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold FACS?
276 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list FACS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 42), 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 FACS status?
Treat the FACS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Confirm fellowship through the American College of Surgeons at facs.org. Check the surgeon's primary specialty board certification separately — FACS complements it, it does not replace it. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from FACS.
Does holding FACS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. FACS 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 FACS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list FACS — not an official register maintained by Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult the certifying body directly.
Which countries have the most FACS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, FACS holders are concentrated in USA (243), UK (3), Australia (3). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.

Svaki hirurg naveden ovde je dodat od strane nas, a ne prijavom: verifikovani hirurzi su navedeni prvi. Nijedan hirurg ne može platiti za plasman. Ime napušta ovu listu kada hirurg zatraži od nas da ga uklonimo — mi proveravamo taj zahtev putem e-pošte ili telefona pre nego što postupimo — ili kada je profil na crnoj listi, što ga trajno blokira sa svake automatske liste. Uklanjanje takođe nije na prodaju. Spisak pročitan na 2026-09-19. Kako pravimo ove liste.
