On October 22, 2026, Position asked ChatGPT who the top 50 facelift surgeons in New York City are. It answered with the 50 names below, from 50 practices. We added a link to each practice and changed nothing else. Check any surgeon's license and board certification before you book a consultation.

Did ChatGPT rank these surgeons?
Not in so many words. Position asked for the top 50 and ChatGPT returned 50 names in the order shown above. Ask it again and the order, and some of the names, will change. We ran the question once, on October 22, 2026, and did not edit the answer.
Does inclusion mean Position recommends them?
No. Position did not interview, verify or compare anyone on this list. We are a marketing research firm that studies what AI says, not a medical practice. Being left off the list says nothing about a surgeon either.
How should you use this list?
As a starting point. Check each surgeon's license on the New York State Office of the Professions verification search, confirm board certification through Certification Matters, and ask about facelift experience, risks and recovery at a consultation before you book anything.

The names and practices come from ChatGPT's answer on October 22, 2026 and may be incomplete or out of date; confirm licensing, board certification, procedures offered and current practice directly with each surgeon.

What does ChatGPT say when someone asks for you?
