Who Are the Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Vietnam?

Sorted by DEEPPLANE™ authority score, Google rating × review count, and board credentials on file. Names link to each surgeon's full profile.

Ordered by DEEPPLANE™ Score — a public, verifiable methodology (see deepplane.com/score) weighing board certification, patient signals, and professional transparency. Full breakdown on each surgeon's profile.

  1. Dr. Phung Manh Cuong — Listed in our directory, in Ho Chi Minh City.
  2. Dr. Tran Thanh Toan — Listed in our directory, in Vietnam.
  3. Dr. Cái Hữu Ngọc Thảo Trang — 20+ years of practice, in Vietnam.

3 Surgeons in Vietnam

Ordered by whether the surgeon can be identified independently of us, then whether that identity is disputed, then the verification level shown on the card, then how early the profile was claimed, then surname. Payment does not enter the order. Between claim date and surname, the better-known surgeon comes first: patient reviews, how often the name is searched, public following, an encyclopedia entry and published research. Being better known is not being better. How we verify every surgeon

Verification is not a filter. Every surgeon we list in Vietnam with an active listing appears here, verified or not: verification changes the label on the card and the position in this order, never whether someone is on the page. Nobody can pay to appear, and nobody is removed for not paying. A surgeon can remove their own listing at any time after confirming a one-time code. It takes effect immediately, is reversible for 48 hours, and after that the profile is blocked from being listed again. We also deactivate a listing when a consent is rejected, when a correction ticket resolves that way, or on an editorial decision.

Request Quotes

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 2026-09-15. Of the 3 surgeons on this page, 0 are independently verified today — the rest are listed. How we build these lists.

As of 2026-09-15, DEEPPLANE™ lists 3 deep plane facelift surgeons in Vietnam; none yet clears DEEPPLANE™ verification (what verified means is on /methodology). We hold no study that compares results by country.

Frequently Asked Questions: Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam

How Many Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons Are in Vietnam?
Vietnam has 3 deep plane facelift surgeons listed in our directory. These facial plastic surgery specialists offer varying levels of experience and pricing. We recommend consulting with multiple surgeons to compare credentials, before/after photos, and experience.
How Many Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons Does DEEPPLANE™ List in Vietnam?
DEEPPLANE™ lists 3 deep plane facelift surgeons in Vietnam. Board certifications are shown as listed in public sources or as entered by the surgeon in their own panel (1 of 984 entered by the surgeon, as of October 14, 2026); none of them has been confirmed with the issuing board by DEEPPLANE, which does not query it. We hold no case-volume data. Unlike clinic-booking marketplaces, DEEPPLANE™ takes no commission from surgeons, so the ranking reflects credentials and published before/after results, not who paid most. Compare profiles, then request a consultation; surgeons are never contacted directly by patients.
Is Vietnam a Good Country for Deep Plane Facelift?
Vietnam is an option for deep plane facelift surgery with 3 specialists available. When choosing Vietnam for your procedure, consider surgeon credentials, facility accreditation, and post-operative care availability.
What is the Recovery Time for Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam?
Recovery time for deep plane facelift in Vietnam follows the standard timeline: 7-10 days for most social activities, with bruising resolving by day 10-14. If traveling to Vietnam for surgery, plan to stay at least 7-10 days post-procedure for initial follow-up appointments and suture removal.
What Should I Look for in a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Vietnam?
When selecting a deep plane facelift surgeon in Vietnam, verify board certification in plastic surgery or facial plastic surgery, review before/after photos of deep plane procedures specifically, confirm their professional qualifications, and ask how many deep plane facelifts the surgeon performs a year (no published threshold exists).
Is It Safe to Get a Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam?
Deep plane facelift in Vietnam is safe when performed by a board-certified facial plastic surgeon at an accredited facility. Complication rates at top Vietnam clinics are comparable to international standards at 1-3%. Always verify the surgeon's credentials, facility accreditation (JCI or equivalent), and ask to see at least 50 before/after cases.
How Long Should I Stay in Vietnam After Deep Plane Facelift?
Plan to stay in Vietnam for 7-10 days after deep plane facelift. Day 1-3 requires rest, sutures are removed at day 5-7, and most bruising resolves by day 10-14. Many clinics in Vietnam offer all-inclusive packages including hotel accommodation and airport transfers.
Does Insurance Cover Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam?
Deep plane facelift is considered a cosmetic procedure in Vietnam and is not covered by public health insurance (national health plans) or by most private insurance policies. Medical-necessity exceptions are extremely rare and typically require post-traumatic reconstruction with documented functional impairment — a pure aesthetic facelift never qualifies. Many Vietnam surgeons offer interest-free monthly financing plans (CareCredit-equivalent in markets that have local options) with 12-36 month terms. Expect to pay out-of-pocket or through a third-party medical financing provider; ask the surgeon's scheduler for a line-item cost estimate early so you can plan accordingly rather than discovering surprise fees after booking.
What Questions Should I Ask a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon in Vietnam?
A productive first consultation in Vietnam covers six specific topics: (1) How many deep plane facelifts specifically has the surgeon performed — 200+ is the threshold where the technique becomes consistent; years of general facelift experience is not equivalent. (2) Show 3-5 before/after cases of patients similar to you in age, gender, skin type, and bone structure, taken in matched lighting and angles. (3) Their specific complication rate with numbers — hematoma, facial nerve injury, hypertrophic scarring, revision rate — and exactly how they would handle each. (4) Who administers anesthesia (board-certified anesthesiologist vs CRNA) and whether the facility is accredited (JCI internationally, AAAASF/AAAHC in US). (5) Total out-the-door cost in writing: surgeon fee, facility, anesthesia, garments, medications, 12-month follow-up. (6) Exactly who performs the surgery from start to finish — will a trainee or another surgeon do any portion? Top Vietnam surgeons expect and welcome all six questions; evasive answers on any one of them is a meaningful signal.
Can I Combine Deep Plane Facelift with Other Procedures in Vietnam?
Yes, combining deep plane facelift with complementary procedures is common and often preferable in Vietnam — one anesthesia, one recovery period, one consolidated cost. The most frequent combinations (in order of clinical fit): (a) neck lift / platysmaplasty — performed as a single contiguous dissection in most modern protocols; rarely billed as a separate procedure. (b) upper and/or lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) — adds 30-60 minutes of operating time and addresses the hollowed under-eye or hooded upper lid that facelift alone cannot reach. (c) fat transfer from abdomen/thighs to midface or temples, for volume restoration in a deflated face. (d) brow lift for upper-third aging. (e) skin resurfacing (laser, chemical peel) — usually staged to the 3-6 month mark after the facelift heals rather than done same-day. Combinations that are not recommended same-day: rhinoplasty (airway swelling risk), breast or body surgery (operating-time and blood-loss limits), dental surgery (mouth bacteria exposure). Ask your Vietnam surgeon for their combined-procedure protocol and total operating-time limit — most experienced surgeons cap a single session at 6-7 hours.
Which Clinics Offer Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam?
Our directory lists 3 deep plane facelift surgeons in Vietnam. We do not hold facility-accreditation data. Rather than choosing a clinic first, verify the individual surgeon's board certification and deep plane case volume — the operating surgeon, not the clinic brand, determines the result. Many clinics in Vietnam offer all-inclusive packages including hotel accommodation and airport transfers.
Where Can I See Deep Plane Facelift Before and After Photos From Vietnam Surgeons?
Surgeon profiles linked on this page include before and after photos collected from public clinic sources where the surgeon has published them, and our before and after gallery shows deep plane results by age group and technique. When reviewing before and after photos from Vietnam, look for consistent lighting and angles and ask each surgeon for cases matching your age and anatomy.
Who Are the Best Deep Plane Facelift Surgeons in Vietnam?
Vietnam has 3 listed deep plane facelift surgeons in our directory, ranked by our transparent DEEPPLANE™ Score (credentials, board certification, patient outcomes, and verification depth). Top-ranked surgeons currently include Phung Manh Cuong, Tran Thanh Toan, Cái Hữu Ngọc Thảo Trang. Compare full profiles, before/after galleries, and pricing on this page, and see our guide on how to choose a deep plane facelift surgeon for what to verify in your first consultation.
Are Vietnamese Surgeons Qualified for Deep Plane Facelift?
Yes — Vietnamese plastic surgeons hold the 5-year Bác sĩ Chuyên khoa II Phẫu thuật Tạo hình Thẩm mỹ certification regulated by the Ministry of Health. VSAPS is the recognized professional body. Many top Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi specialists have completed Korean, Japanese, or US fellowships, bringing strong training to Vietnamese practice. FV Hospital in HCMC is JCI-accredited.
How Does Vietnam Compare to Thailand for Facelift?
Vietnam and Thailand both offer 70–80% savings versus US pricing. Vietnam's advantages are marginally lower cost and a growing Korea-trained surgeon pipeline. Thailand's advantages are deeper JCI-accredited hospital infrastructure (60+ JCI hospitals vs. Vietnam's handful), longer-established medical tourism coordination, and deep plane-specific case volume at Bumrungrad and other centers. Choose Vietnam for cost; Thailand for hospital infrastructure depth.
When Is the Best Time to Visit Vietnam for Surgery?
Ho Chi Minh City: November through April (dry season) is optimal with lower humidity. Hanoi: October and November (18–26°C, dry) are optimal. Avoid Hanoi's hot humid summer (June–August) and cold damp winter (December–February). Central Vietnam (Da Nang) offers mild spring and autumn conditions. Each region requires region-specific scheduling given Vietnam's climate diversity.
How Much Does a Deep Plane Facelift Cost in Vietnam?
Deep plane facelift pricing in Vietnam is set per surgeon by deep-plane experience, facility standards, and case complexity rather than a fixed local rate. Get itemized quotes — surgeon fee (40–60%), facility (20–30%), anesthesia (10–15%), and follow-up care — from 2–3 of the surgeons listed on this page and compare like for like.
Who Is the Best Facelift Surgeon in Vietnam?
No single surgeon is objectively "best". A shortlist built on signals you can check is more useful: board certification and before/after photos of deep plane cases. 3 surgeons are listed for Vietnam, and none is independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet. Listed means we added a public profile; it is not an endorsement. Check a surgeon yourself: read their own before/after cases, and ask how many deep plane facelifts they do each year. Our methodology page explains how we verify.
Is There a Deep Plane Facelift Surgeon Near Me in Vietnam?
DEEPPLANE™ doesn't use your location. 3 surgeons are listed for Vietnam, and none is independently verified by DEEPPLANE™ yet. Compare them by where they practise, then check a surgeon yourself before you contact anyone: read their own before/after cases, and ask how many deep plane facelifts they do each year.

Surgeon Experience
Surgeons with 100+ deep plane procedures annually typically charge higher fees. Board certification in facial plastic surgery is essential.

Procedure Complexity
Deep plane facelift takes 4-6 hours. Additional procedures (neck lift, eyelid surgery) increase total cost.
Location in Vietnam
Clinics in premium areas of Vietnam may charge higher facility fees due to real estate costs.

Why Choose Vietnam for Deep Plane Facelift?

Medical Excellence

Vietnamese surgeons serve the emerging medical tourism market with affordable care.

Cost Advantage

Vietnam offers affordable pricing with emerging medical tourism.

Expert Tip: Ho Chi Minh City has Vietnam's top specialists.

Hospital & Facility Standards in Vietnam

Vietnamese plastic surgeons must hold the Bác sĩ Chuyên khoa II Phẫu thuật Tạo hình Thẩm mỹ certification — a 5-year subspecialty after medical school, regulated by the Vietnam Ministry of Health. The Vietnam Society of Plastic Aesthetic & Reconstructive Surgery (VSAPS) is the recognized professional body. Top facilities — FV Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City, JCI-accredited), Vinmec International Hospital (multiple cities), Bumrungrad-affiliated clinics — operate to international standards. Vietnam's cosmetic surgery sector has grown rapidly since 2015 under Ministry of Health oversight.

Recovery Environment in Vietnam

Vietnam's climate splits by region. Ho Chi Minh City (tropical, year-round 25–34°C with a dry season November–April and rainy May–October) requires air-conditioned recovery accommodation; the dry season offers marginally better recovery conditions. Hanoi has four distinct seasons — October and November (18–26°C, dry) are optimal; avoid hot humid summer (June–August, 30–38°C) and cold damp winter (December–February, 10–20°C with high humidity). Central Vietnam (Da Nang, Hoi An) offers mild spring and autumn recovery conditions.

Deep Plane Facelift Recovery in Vietnam

Recovery time for deep plane facelift in Vietnam follows the standard timeline. If traveling to Vietnam for surgery, plan your stay accordingly.3

Day 1-3
Peak swelling, rest in Vietnam accommodation
Day 5-7
Sutures removed at surgeon's Vietnam clinic
Day 10-14
Most bruising resolved, safe to travel home
Week 2-3
Return to social activities, desk work

Local Recovery Tip: Recover in Ho Chi Minh City's District 1 (central, walkable, near FV Hospital and international clinics), District 3 (upscale residential), or District 7 (quiet, modern, near Vinmec Central Park) — these areas offer serviced apartments and English-speaking concierge services. In Hanoi, Ba Dinh and Tay Ho are preferred. Avoid Ho Chi Minh City's District 5 and older Hanoi Old Quarter during recovery (crowded, traffic-heavy, air quality concerns). Always use hospital-arranged transport; Vietnamese street traffic is not suitable for post-operative patients.

Planning Your Trip to Vietnam

Visa Requirements

Vietnam offers visa-free entry to citizens of approximately 25 countries (UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Korea, and select others) for 15–45 days. US, Canadian, Australian, and most other nationalities require an e-visa (~$25), approved within 3 business days through the official Vietnamese government portal. E-visas are valid for 90 days with single or multiple entries. Medical treatment visas with hospital invitation letters allow longer stays.

About Deep Plane Facelift in Vietnam

Vietnam is an option for deep plane facelift surgery. The deep plane technique repositions deeper facial structures beneath the SMAS layer for natural-looking, long-lasting results.1 Our directory lists 3 surgeons in Vietnam with credentials and before/after photos.

Vietnam is a market where deep plane facelift demand outpaces locally listed specialist surgeon coverage. Patients in Vietnam commonly research the procedure from home and travel internationally for surgery — typically to neighbouring countries with established medical-tourism infrastructure (JCI-accredited facilities, English-language clinic operations, and visible 12-month post-op galleries). National plastic-surgery societies in Vietnam maintain registries of board-certified members, and travel-package operators based in major regional hubs frequently coordinate Vietnam-resident patients into multi-week recovery stays. Local primary-care physicians in Vietnam are well-positioned to coordinate pre-op clearance, post-op follow-up imaging, and any complication management once the patient returns home.

Cost benchmarks for Vietnam are tracked in USD on the country hub above; patients commonly compare these against neighbouring markets when planning the procedure. The decision to travel hinges on three factors: surgeon-specific case volume in deep plane technique (target 50+ cases/year), accreditation of the operative facility, and the willingness of a board-certified surgeon at home in Vietnam to manage complications if they emerge after return. Travel insurance with explicit cosmetic-surgery-complication coverage is recommended; standard travel policies typically exclude elective procedures from the start.

Logistically, patients in Vietnam planning international deep plane facelift travel typically allow 14-21 days on the ground in the destination country — covering suture removal at day 7-10 and the first major post-op follow-up. Air travel home should wait 14 days minimum (cabin pressurization at 8,000 ft equivalent and prolonged immobility raise venous-thromboembolism risk in the highest-risk first 7-10 days). When you submit an inquiry through DEEPPLANE™ from Vietnam, our team can match you against verified specialists in regional medical hubs that match your timing, language preference, and budget — and coordinate the entire pre-op consultation, travel, and recovery plan.
