Bumping thread. Has anyone actually had surgery with him? I can't find any actual reviews from patients post op. I'm looking for a surgeon to do revision on jaw. if you want details about which surgeons to AVOID i can tell you more depth in private.
Was considering Dr M due to cost being cheap but after all the negative reviews can't go ahead with it. Now is a toss up between Defrancq and Raffaini.
I dont know really. I've heard bad things about so many surgeons nowadays it seems like Russian roulette going with any of them.
What I liked about Defrancq consultation:
- His staff were very nice and professional with a great amount of attention to detail
- I got 3d scans of my skull with simulation of the intended result post-op - it was pretty detailed and was the first proper imagery I could use to form an impression of whether getting surgery was worth it. I am very glad I did this.
- Many of his results are very subtle - which is exactly what I want. Though people have said bad things about the results, I'd say considering the amount on his website, many of them are stellar - I've compared them to other surgeons and the only other surgeon whose results ive seen which are life changing are Woolford.
- For my particular deformity, he has great results. If I had a weak chin / or just needed a bsso or whatever or had a long face, I'd probably go with someone else, but for maxillary downgrafting he seems to be good.
- He is very good at responding to emails very promptly and with good detail.
What I didn't like:
- When I met him in London it was quite unprofessional - the room wasnt available in the hotel where he consults so he had to look at my teeth etc in the hallway!
- Expensive to get the scans done etc (though this price is detracted from the final surgery cost)
- He maintains (I pushed him on this repeatedly) that there will be practically no relapse in my case and that the recovery is much shorter than all other surgeons have said to me (I don't believe him)
- His English is lacking.
So it's a mixed bag.
