Lori Lankford

RN, MSN, FNP-BC – NURSE PRACTITIONER

With more than 25 years in plastic surgery and aesthetics, Lori Lankford is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who brings deep expertise and a warm, personal touch to every patient she sees. She is known for thoughtful, customized consultations and treatment plans, and is an expert in facial contouring and advanced laser procedures. Patients trust her as a specialist in dermal fillers, neurotoxins and biostimulatory injections, as well as multimodality laser treatments focused on skin rejuvenation. When a surgical solution is the best choice, she collaborates with our surgeons to create a fully comprehensive plan.

Lori earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Tennessee Technological University and her Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Vanderbilt University. For more than 15 years she has served as a national trainer and speaker for the Allergan Medical Institute, the makers of Botox, Juvéderm and Kybella, helping launch multiple products across the country and sharing her knowledge with colleagues nationwide.

Her philosophy is simple and personal: enhance and refine the beauty that is already intrinsic to each patient, so they look and feel like the very best version of themselves, with results that always look natural. “I know that how we see ourselves affects the way we interact with the outside world, whether we like to admit it or not. The more positive and confident we feel, the more we can give our best in every part of our daily lives. Making my patients feel beautiful gives me so much personal joy, and it is my absolute favorite thing about my work!”

Originally from Ocoee, Tennessee, Lori now lives in Brentwood with her husband, their two children, Vivienne and Quin, and their Aussiedoodle, Winnie. When she’s not treating patients or educating other clinicians, you’ll find her at Pure Barre, cheering on her son at Brentwood High School football games, or heading to Knoxville to visit her daughter, a proud University of Tennessee freshman. Go Big Orange!

Lori sees patients at our Brentwood office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
