Underwhelming results and high cost
$21,000
I had a “deep plane” face and neck lift and chin implant. Dr. Lanfranchi only uses one brand of implants and the one he chose for my face is too wide.
I thought it was swelling at first and gave it a full year before other plastic surgeons told me that the device he picked was much too wide. Dr. Lanfranchi’s solution was to offer to remove it for $5000.
The neck lift didn’t have any result at all. The platysma bands are exactly the same.
The facelift portion was a slight improvement, but at the SMAS level and not the deep tissue so my nasolabial folds are exactly the same. I followed up regularly and waited a significant amount of time to see the final result before making a judgement.
For the prices he charges, the results are underwhelming. He also doesn’t use surgery centers so everything is done under local anesthesia, but the pricing doesn’t reflect the lack of accommodations.
