American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) Board-Certified Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons

174 active deep plane facelift surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ABFPRS (American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery), a USA board certification. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group, surgeons are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 44), with the full country distribution. This is a directory snapshot of what each surgeon lists on their profile — not an official ABFPRS registry.

What ABFPRS means & how to verify it

American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) is a USA board certification; a surgeon described as certified by ABFPRS has met that body's requirements at the time of listing. DEEPPLANE™ shows ABFPRS on a profile exactly as the surgeon records it, then groups all 174 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 Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and cross-check their licence with the national medical regulator where they practise. This page reflects the DEEPPLANE™ directory, not an official ABFPRS register, and credential status can lapse — always confirm before booking.

About ABFPRS: what it means for a facelift patient

The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) is an independent US certifying board dedicated exclusively to facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Established in 1986, the ABFPRS certifies surgeons whose training and practice concentrate on the face, head, and neck. Candidates must already be certified by a qualifying primary board (typically otolaryngology–head and neck surgery or plastic surgery), document their operative experience in facial plastic surgery for peer review, pass a written and oral examination, and meet the board's ethical standards.

Because the deep plane facelift is a facial procedure, ABFPRS certification is one of the most directly relevant credentials in this directory: it layers a face-specific examination on top of an existing primary specialty certification. Note that the ABFPRS is not a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialties — an administrative distinction that affects how the credential may be advertised in some US states, and one more reason to verify status at the source.

How to verify a surgeon's ABFPRS status

  1. Use the surgeon search on abfprs.org to confirm current ABFPRS certification.
  2. Check the surgeon's primary board (ABOHNS or ABPS) as well — ABFPRS certification is built on top of it.
  3. Confirm an active licence with the state medical board where the surgeon practises.

Frequently asked questions

What is ABFPRS?
The American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS) is an independent US certifying board dedicated exclusively to facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. On DEEPPLANE™, ABFPRS appears on a surgeon's profile when they list it as a credential they hold. This page groups the 174 active deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory who record ABFPRS, so you can see how common the credential is and who holds it — it is not an official ABFPRS membership register.
How many deep plane facelift surgeons hold ABFPRS?
174 active surgeons in the DEEPPLANE™ directory list ABFPRS as of 2026-09-19. DEEPPLANE™-verified surgeons are listed first; within each group they are ordered by the DEEPPLANE™ Score (median 44), 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 ABFPRS status?
Treat the ABFPRS shown on a DEEPPLANE™ profile as a starting point, not proof. Use the surgeon search on abfprs.org to confirm current ABFPRS certification. Check the surgeon's primary board (ABOHNS or ABPS) as well — ABFPRS certification is built on top of it. Confirm an active licence with the state medical board where the surgeon practises. Credentials can lapse, and this directory reflects what each surgeon lists on their own profile rather than a live feed from ABFPRS.
Does holding ABFPRS guarantee a good deep plane facelift?
No. ABFPRS 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 ABFPRS registry?
No. This is a DEEPPLANE™ directory snapshot — the deep plane facelift surgeons we have listed who list ABFPRS — not an official register maintained by American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. For authoritative membership or certification status, consult American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at www.abfprs.org directly.
Which countries have the most ABFPRS deep plane facelift surgeons?
Across the DEEPPLANE™ directory, ABFPRS holders are concentrated in USA (157), Canada (5), Australia (2). The full country distribution is shown on this page. Concentration reflects where our listed surgeons practise, not the certifying body's global membership.
