About

Dr. Frank P. Fechner is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in Worcester, Massachusetts. He specializes exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, including procedures like facelifts, neck lifts, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery, and lip lifts. His practice also includes a Medical Spa. Dr. Fechner aims for natural-looking results, focusing on restoring youthful contours and definition while preserving a patient's individual characteristics for a refreshed and balanced appearance. He believes a small lift can significantly improve overall appearance and encourages patients to address skin concerns that makeup cannot fix. The practice observes an increase in patients seeking solutions for skin laxity from significant weight loss, especially with GLP-1 methods. For this, they offer non-surgical Sofwave Body treatments, which use ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen and tighten loose skin. Sofwave is also used for facial concerns like subtle brow asymmetry. The practice also offers SkinPen for improving skin texture, acne scars, and fine lines, and provides medical-grade PLATED® skincare.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$20

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Frank P. Fechner received $20 across 1 payment in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was MERZ NORTH AMERICA, INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
