Facial plastic surgeons who perform facelifts

Facial plastic surgery: the ranked facelift surgeons whose board certification is in this specialty. The top-ranked is Dr. Benjamin Talei of Beverly Hills, CA, #1 in the US.

Facial plastic surgeons

Training: a 60-month otolaryngology-head and neck surgery residency that includes facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (ACGME requirements). The AAFPRS Foundation runs a year-long post-residency fellowship in facial plastic surgery (ABFPRS guideline), open to otolaryngology and plastic surgery residents and graduates (AAFPRS fellowships).
Primary board: American Board of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (ABOHNS), an ABMS member board (ABMS). It requires an accredited residency, a written exam, and an oral exam on cases from the candidate's own practice (ABOHNS). Some facial plastic surgeons hold ABPS as their primary board (ABFPRS guideline).
Second board: American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ABFPRS), established 1986 (ABFPRS). It requires an ACGME or RCPSC residency in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery or plastic surgery, prior certification by the American Board of Otolaryngology, ABPS or RCPSC (or by the American Osteopathic Board of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery after a 4-year ACGME otolaryngology residency), at least two years in practice, 100 operative reports accepted by peer review, an 8-hour written and oral exam, and an accredited operating facility (ABFPRS).
ABMS status: ABFPRS is not on the ABMS list of member boards (ABMS). ABFPRS states in its 2022 guideline that the medical boards of California, Florida, Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado have recognized it as a legitimate certifying board (ABFPRS guideline).
Focus: the head and neck, including facial plastic and reconstructive surgery and rhinoplasty (ABOHNS).
Society: American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, more than 2,200 members (AAFPRS).

Before you book

Compare each surgeon's before-and-after photos for faces and necks like yours, check the board certification on the dossier, and at a group practice ask for the surgeon who performs the facelift by name. What a facelift costs and how recovery goes each have their own page.

How the ranking works

Each surgeon here is listed among the facial plastic surgeons by the board named on the surgeon's own site or in the board's lookup, and holds a place in the national Top 500. The ranking rests on facelift research, teaching at facelift meetings, the facelift work the practice shows on its own site, leadership in the specialty and recognition. The rules are on the methodology page.
