Choosing to have facial plastic surgery is a personal decision that most people make with great care and planning. Part of this process should be finding the right facial plastic surgeon. The face is a delicate area with many nerves and other vital structures. You should only trust your features to a surgeon with proven credentials, experience, and results.Â
What is a Facial Plastic Surgeon?
If your doctor says they are a facial plastic surgeon, what does it mean? The surgeon you choose should be board-certified and specialize in facial plastic surgery. However, not all board-certified surgeons perform at the same level. You should also ensure that your surgeon has experience and has demonstrated the ability to provide superior results.
How to Find the Best Facial Plastic Surgeon
Finding the best facial plastic surgeon means doing your research. A qualified plastic surgeon will make all this information freely available.
Education
Your facial plastic surgeon should have a medical degree and an additional certification in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Lanfranchi has a medical degree, an internship in general surgery, and five years of specialized training in Facial Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Head and Neck Surgery. He also continues to pursue his own education while mentoring and instructing others.Â
Specialization
Some plastic surgeons perform face and body procedures without specializing in anything. A facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Lanfranchi specializes in facial procedures. Dr. Lanfranchi’s area of specialization is the unique TLC Premier Lift™, a customized facelift that can include a range of options for full facial rejuvenation.
Experience
Your facial plastic surgeon should have extensive experience in the procedure you are considering. Dr. Lanfranchi has treated over 15,000 patients performing customized facial procedures. Ask your surgeon how often they perform that procedure so you can determine their experience level.Â
Team
A great facial plastic surgeon needs a great facility and team. Ask to see the facility and meet the team members you will be working with to determine how comfortable you feel. Team TLC at the Lanfranchi Center specializes in providing the best experience and results in safety and comfort. All your surgeon’s team members should be highly qualified and experienced.Â
Testimonials and Reviews
What others say about your facial plastic surgeon can help you understand what kind of experience their past patients have had. Dr. Lanfranchi’s patient testimonials show how pleased people are with their procedure and results. Read any surgeon’s reviews carefully and find out if they are providing the kind of experience you want to have.Â
Before and Afters
While nothing can show you exactly what your results will look like, your facial plastic surgeon’s before and after gallery can show you their overall style and aesthetic goals. You can determine whether the results your surgeon provides match your expectations and goals. These gallery images are an important part of finding the right surgeon.
I had debated for a while to get a neck lift and lower face lift, as well as have extra skin removed from my eyelids. I went to a few Doctors but didn’t feel comfortable with them, until I went to The Lanfranchi Center. From the start, the front Receptionist (Deedee) was very welcoming. Everyone in the office was friendly, professional and very thorough with the process. I am more than pleased with the results and would highly recommend The Lanfranchi Center.
