Milano Face Institute
Under our open methodology this clinic scores 70/100 on structural verification: physician certification, licences, facility and legal-entity traceability, identifier disclosure and advertising honesty.
Rank #16 of 28 ranked clinics · last checked 20 September 2026
No crown: crowns require register-verified gates, never a clinic's own claim.
Summary
Facial plastic-surgery, aesthetic-medicine and dentistry clinic in Via dei Gracchi. The medical director is named with his role on the team page and the footer; a register row with a plastic-surgery specialty title was found under a longer form of his surname. The operating company is named on the site; its VAT number returns no entry in VIES, so the legal-entity axis is left unverified.
Registers read for the jurisdiction: Lombardia.
Axis by axis
rubric value 1–5 · ? could not verify (no points, not a negative finding) · — not applicable: this country has no register of that class · OFF official register · SEC secondary source
| Axis | Finding (rubric anchor) | Value | Source class | Weight | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found, status current; the registered specialty is adjacent to what is advertised — a closed list: plastic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, facial ENT, oculoplastic ophthalmology, general surgery, aesthetic or cosmetic medicine where it is a recognised specialty. Albo OMCeO Milano member detail lists Specializzazioni 'Chirurgia Plastica e Ricostruttiva' (2004) for the row 'GUALDI DI CASTELGUALDO Alessandro' (n. 43641); the register surname form is longer than the one published by the clinic, so the match is by name form rather than by number.

| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name: 'GUALDI DI CASTELGUALDO Alessandro … Albo Medici Chirurghi il 17/06/2014 … 43641'. The clinic does not publish the number. [albo] |
OFF | 8 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M4 | Facility registration Could not verify — by its own definition this register does not cover this class of facility or this territory, so the axis is left out of the coverage calculation for this record. Not a negative finding. Reason: Register does not cover this class of facility or this territory. Last attempt: none_found, 22 September 2026 — § A: the register of this class does not cover this unit by its own definition (scopeGap in the map); previous state null retry. Lombardia — same scope gap; no authorisation number published. |
? | ? | 10 | 2026-09-20 |
| M5 | Legal-entity traceability The legal entity is named; the register of this class is not accessible or does not cover this legal form (sole practitioner, private practice). |
OFF | 8 | 2026-09-20 | |
| M6 | Self-disclosure of identifiers Partial, without issuers. Company name and VAT number published; no physician registration number and no issuer named. [site] |
SEC | 10 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M7 | Advertising honesty One or two soft superlatives or non-absolute safety promises. One or two soft claims about results in the clinic's own text; no guarantee and no issuer-free ranking claim. [site-ps] |
SEC | 12 | 2026-08-30 | |
| M8 | Cross-locale consistency Could not verify — no points, counts against coverage, not a negative finding. Reason: Single language front. Last attempt: clinic_site, 17 September 2026 — one language front; no hreflang alternates or language links The clinic site publishes one language front; nothing to compare. |
? | ? | 5 | 2026-09-20 |

Score ceilings
No ceiling applies. We never apply one on 'not found' alone.

No hold on this profile.
Inclusion policy
Four mechanical conditions. The first three decide whether a clinic is listed at all; the fourth decides whether it can be scored.

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
