Is the consultation really free?

Yes. Submitting an inquiry through DEEPPLANE™ is free for patients. The surgeon decides whether to offer the first consultation at no charge — most surgeons listed here do, especially for international patients. Any consultation fees are disclosed before you book.

How much does a deep plane facelift cost?

Pricing ranges roughly $8,000–$18,000 in Türkiye and Mexico, $15,000–$35,000 in the UK and most of Europe, and $35,000–$300,000 in the United States (typically $35,000–$75,000). Use the country and budget filters above to narrow down to surgeons in your price range. Total trip cost including flights, accommodation, and recovery support varies independently of surgeon fee.

Can I contact more than one surgeon?

Yes — we recommend 2–3 consultations before choosing a surgeon so you can compare approach, price, and communication style. Your inquiry is shared with a maximum of 5 surgeons so you receive real interest rather than spam. You can always follow up directly with any surgeon who replies.

Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the USA?

The USA pioneered the deep plane technique (Dr. Sam Hamra, Dallas, 1990). Highest concentrations of dedicated specialists are in Beverly Hills, New York, Miami, Dallas, and Boston. Filter the directory above to /usa or apply the country filter to see ABFPRS- and ABPS-certified surgeons sorted by authority score, Google rating, and verified case volume. The "Verified" badge means we have independently confirmed the surgeon's board certification and a sample of their before/after work.

Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in Turkey?

Turkey hosts the world's largest pool of dedicated deep plane specialists outside the US — concentrated in Istanbul (Nişantaşı, Şişli) plus smaller hubs in Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya. Filter to /turkey or use the country selector to surface TPRECD-certified surgeons. Top-tier all-inclusive packages run $8,000–$18,000 vs $40,000+ for the same credentialing in Beverly Hills.

Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the UK?

London's Harley Street is the UK's deep plane hub, with GMC-registered consultants and CQC-regulated facilities. Filter to /uk or /london to see BAAPS and BAFPRS members ranked by tier and patient outcome data. Pricing typically lands £15,000–£35,000 for hospital-based deep plane procedures.

Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in South Korea?

Seoul's Gangnam district performs more facial cosmetic surgery per capita than any city worldwide. KSPRS-certified specialists at Asan, Samsung, and Severance teaching hospitals lead the market. Filter to /south-korea or /seoul; expect $15,000–$30,000 all-inclusive packages with K-beauty post-op skincare integration.

How are surgeons on this page ranked? Can someone pay to appear higher?

Ranking is determined by an authority score combining verification status, before/after outcome grading, Google Reviews volume and recency, clinic Domain Authority, recorded years of experience, and society membership. No surgeon can pay to rank higher — paid profile features unlock UI surface (enhanced galleries, video consultation links, direct WhatsApp routing) but carry zero weight in the ranking formula. The full formula and per-input weights are published on /methodology so any third party can audit results independently.

Who is the best deep plane facelift surgeon?

There is no single 'best' deep plane facelift surgeon — the right surgeon is the board-certified specialist who performs 50+ deep plane cases a year, has 30+ documented before-and-after results matching your anatomy, and verified patient reviews on two platforms. DEEPPLANE™ lists 1,240+ profiled deep-plane-focused surgeons across 68+ countries, each ranked by an unpaid authority score (verification status, outcome grading, review volume, society membership) so you can shortlist 2-3 by credentials rather than ad spend. Top US specialists cluster in New York, Beverly Hills, Miami, Dallas, and Boston; deep plane fees there typically run $35,000–$75,000.

How do I choose a deep plane facelift surgeon?

Prioritize in this order: board certification in facial plastic or plastic surgery; 50+ annual deep-plane cases specifically (not total facelifts); 30+ documented before-and-after cases with similar anatomy to yours; operating facility accredited by JCI or a regional equivalent. Cost is the last variable — a well-chosen $15K surgeon beats a mediocre $40K surgeon on every clinical metric.

→ Get matched with verified surgeons for your anatomy

What makes a surgeon 'verified' on DEEPPLANE™?

Verification confirms board certification status with the issuing authority, deep-plane case volume via documented before-and-after galleries, facility accreditation, and practitioner identity. Verified surgeons carry a badge on their profile; unverified profiles are based only on public data and are clearly labeled.

Expert Opinion on Patient Selection

"Not every patient needs a deep plane facelift. During consultation, we assess the degree of aging, skin quality, and patient goals. Sometimes a less invasive approach is appropriate. The key is matching the procedure to the patient's needs."
