While it seems that Dr. Bianchi slides by on reputation (and this may or may not be accurate), you will very likely never find that out for yourself (or know for sure if you did or didn't) because he's a professor who, apparently, let's his students experiment on your face. I had an initial orthognathic surgery which lasted 3-4 hours longer than it was supposed to (never saw him before or after) and ended up with a bony mass left on part of my face afterwards which he said couldn't be "shaved" off because the movement wasn't a "stable" one. (who the hell knows what that means - I was young and didn't ask many questions. I do, however, know that he was supposed to not only remove the excess bone but also adjust my chin all in the same surgery. So, 6 months later I came back to remove the bony mass and, still, one side of my face was larger than the other. He said that this was just how I was "anatomically" and I just took his word for it again - after all I did have a crossbite which is why I initially got the surgery so maybe my anatomy was messed up. i never stopped to think that, while I had a crossbite, the two sides of my jaw were the same otherwise before. Well fast forward 7 years (and I have had permanent numbness in my bottom lip also) i went to an ENT because I thought I had something wrong with my parotid gland or sinus or something..some hard lump was apparently there and tender to the touch. So, I got a ct scan and..nope.. nothing wrong with my parotid or sinus. The radiologist did note "severe" facial trauma and deep fibrous layers of scar tissue though which Dr. Bianchi never seemed to mention as a possibility when I told him that it felt like there was cotton stuck in my cheek (and it has felt like that for all these years). So, determined to remedy this problem (and not go to any doctor in doing) I read that "deep, moderately painful" tissue massages can releases adhesions/scar tissue and I have been self-administering manual massage/digging through it to my face for months now - strange sensation when your face, internally, sort of chips off and then disintegrates. Long story short.. this was a lot more complicated than orthoganthic surgery should have been and I don't believe he was forthcoming about everything. He may or may not be a good surgeon but I would be very weary of all the student doctors and nurses surrounding him . read more
