Best deep plane facelift surgeons in the world

There is no single best deep plane facelift surgeon, and DEEPPLANE™ does not rank them on results. What we can show is a register kept by neither the surgeon nor us: 304 listed surgeons outside Turkey are on one; those shown below link each entry to its register. 1229 listed deep plane specialists across 68 countries.

Who is the best deep plane facelift surgeon in the world?

There is no single best deep plane facelift surgeon. The right surgeon depends on your face, your goals, your health and where you can travel, and we hold no outcome data that could rank surgeons on results. What can be checked independently is whether a register kept by neither the surgeon nor DEEPPLANE™ lists them. The surgeons below are on at least one.

Shown: 10 of the 304 listed surgeons with at least one entry we read on a third-party register, at most three per country, those on two registers first, then by surname; listed here alphabetically. This list is not a ranking. Placement is never sold. The full directory is below.

3 listed surgeons in Turkey are entered under their own name in the Turkish Ministry of Health register (read Oct 12, 2026), which authorizes a facility, not a surgeon. Surgeons in Turkey are listed above on the same terms as every other country. See the Turkey page.

On a register means a register's keeper lists the surgeon. DEEPPLANE™-verified means the surgeon claimed the profile and the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on their own website. They are different checks, and neither is a ranking. A register entry means the register's keeper listed the surgeon on the date shown. It is not a credential check by us, not a statement about skill or results, and not an endorsement by DEEPPLANE™; a surgeon absent here may simply be on a register we do not read, and no listing here is not a finding against anyone. The registers we read today: the ABFPRS register, NPPES (the US federal register), the public directories of ISAPS, BAAPS, and IBCFPRS, and the Turkish Ministry of Health register.

A DEEPPLANE™-verified profile means the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website (or a dated reprieve stands in for it) and the profile is verified as the surgeon’s: they claimed it and we approved the claim on proof such as a code sent to the practice email on file or a licence we reviewed, or, for an unclaimed profile, DEEPPLANE™ verified it on evidence that ties that website to the surgeon or on public signals such as Google reviews. It is not a check of board certification, licence status, photographs or identity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the best deep plane facelift surgeon?
There is no single best deep plane facelift surgeon. The right surgeon depends on your face, your goals, your health and where you can travel, and we hold no outcome data that could rank surgeons on results. DEEPPLANE™ lists 1,229 deep-plane-focused surgeons across 68 countries, and we do not rank them by quality: there is no outcome score and no clinical grading here. The default order is: a surgeon we can find an independent record for (an NPI, a Google Business Profile or a clinic website) comes before one we cannot; then the public verification level, verified first; then, if you set a budget, whether the published fee fits it; then how useful the surgeon’s link to DEEPPLANE™ is, and a profile-strength score. If you type a name, the name match comes first. Verified means we approved the surgeon’s claim and the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website, so that key is partly a function of linking to us; it cannot be bought, and no surgeon can pay for a position. Ratings and review counts are shown on each card and are only a last tie-break. So shortlist 2-3 on the evidence you can check yourself, not on the sequence: before-and-after photographs of the surgeon’s own patients, how many deep plane facelifts the surgeon performs in a year (ask), and a board or register entry you can open yourself. Top US specialists cluster in New York, Beverly Hills, Miami, Dallas, and Boston; deep plane fees there typically run $35,000–$75,000. If you are weighing geography alongside the surgeon, compare the best country for a deep plane facelift.
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 $10,000–$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.
How do I choose a deep plane facelift surgeon?
Check these four things yourself: results (before-and-after photographs of the surgeon’s own patients, of the same operation, in consistent light and angles); safety (where the operation happens, who gives the anaesthetic, and the plan if something goes wrong); case volume (how many deep plane facelifts the surgeon performs in a year — ask); and a certification you can check (a board or register entry you can open yourself). Cost is the last variable: a higher fee is not evidence of a better surgeon.
What makes a surgeon 'verified' on DEEPPLANE™?
It means the DEEPPLANE™ badge is live on the surgeon’s own website and the profile is claimed (we approved the claim on proof such as a code sent to the practice email on file or a licence we reviewed) or, if unclaimed, evidenced as the surgeon’s. The public registers we read include the ABFPRS register, NPPES (the US federal register), the public directories of ISAPS, BAAPS, and IBCFPRS, and the Turkish Ministry of Health register, and we screen US surgeons who carry an NPI against the HHS OIG exclusion list every week. We do not query any board of certification (ABPS, EBOPRAS), any national licensing body or any adverse-event register, we do not check identity documents, we do not authenticate photographs, and we do not monitor licence status. The badge marks a tie between the page and the surgeon, not vetting of the surgeon.
Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the USA?
We do not name a best surgeon, and listings are not ranked by quality. The deep plane technique was first described in the USA (Dr. Sam Hamra, Dallas, 1990). Filter the directory above to /usa or apply the country filter to see surgeons listed in the United States, ordered first by whether we can find an independent record of the surgeon, then by public verification level (every key is on our methodology page). The "Verified" badge means the surgeon claimed the profile and we approved the claim on proof such as a code sent to the practice email on file or a licence we reviewed — it is not a check of their board certification or their before/after work.
Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in Turkey?
We do not name a best surgeon, and listings are not ranked by quality. Filter to /turkey or use the country selector to see surgeons listed in Turkey, ordered first by whether we can find an independent record of the surgeon, then by public verification level (every key is on our methodology page). For prices, see the cost question above.
Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in the UK?
We do not name a best surgeon, and listings are not ranked by quality. Filter to /uk or /london to see surgeons listed in the United Kingdom, ordered first by whether we can find an independent record of the surgeon, then by public verification level (every key is on our methodology page). Doctors practising in the UK must be registered with the GMC, and clinics in England are regulated by the CQC. For prices, see the cost question above.
Who are the best deep plane facelift surgeons in South Korea?
We do not name a best surgeon, and listings are not ranked by quality. Filter to /south-korea or /seoul to see surgeons listed in South Korea, ordered first by whether we can find an independent record of the surgeon, then by public verification level (every key is on our methodology page). Use the budget filter above to compare prices.
How are surgeons on this page ranked? Can someone pay to appear higher?
No surgeon can pay for a position, and wallet activity does not affect placement. But the ordering is simpler than a score: listings are sorted by verification tier first, then by subscription start date, then alphabetically by surname. Review volume, Google rating and our authority score are shown on profiles but do not enter the sort. From 1 September 2026 a verified tier requires a live DEEPPLANE™ badge on the surgeon's own site, so the first sort key is partly a function of linking to us. See /methodology.

Every surgeon listed here was added by us, not by applying: verified surgeons are listed first. No surgeon can pay for placement. A name leaves this list when the surgeon asks us to remove it — we verify that request by email or phone before acting — or when a profile is blacklisted, which permanently blocks it from every automated listing. Removal is not for sale either. Roster read on 2026-10-15. How we build these lists.
