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)

$1,339

Payments

37

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. David C. Mabrie received $1,339 across 37 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, 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?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David C. Mabrie

Sourced directly from Dr. David C. Mabrie's social posts and replies.

How long do cheekbone fillers last and what is the recommended follow-up?
Fillers in the cheekbone area can last up to 24 months. For optimal and sustained results, patients are recommended to return for follow-up treatments at 9 or 12-month intervals.
Source →
What causes under-eye darkness and shadows?
The perceived darkness and shadows under the eye are primarily caused by volume loss in the midface area below the under-eye. When the midface becomes sunken due to factors like time, genetics, or insufficient volume, light cannot hit under the eyes, creating shadows.
Source →
Can non-surgical rhinoplasty address previous surgical rhinoplasty results?
Yes, non-surgical rhinoplasty can be highly customized to address specific patient goals, including correcting outcomes from previous surgical rhinoplasty. For example, if a prior surgery resulted in a thin, narrow bridge and small tip that was not desired, non-surgical methods can be used to achieve a more masculine, broader, or more convex nasal shape.
Source →
What is the typical pain level for lip filler injections?
Patients typically experience a slight bit of discomfort, rather than severe pain, during lip filler injections. The discomfort is not considered deterring or unmanageable, and it tends to decrease as the procedure progresses due to lidocaine in the filler product.
Source →
Are facelift results permanent?
Surgical facelift results are not necessarily permanent or "one and done." Factors like significant weight loss can diminish the structural definition achieved by previous facelift and rhinoplasty procedures over time.
Source →
What are the effects of Illumination 360 treatment?
Illumination 360 is a non-surgical treatment expected to produce significant positive results. It can lift cheeks, smooth under-eye shadows, soften and reduce harsh shadows around the mouth, and make the nose and jawline sharper and more defined. It serves as an alternative for maintaining or improving previous facelift results without additional surgery.
Source →
What options are available when facelift results diminish?
When facelift results diminish, patients have three main options: embrace the changes as part of their natural journey, undergo another surgery for renewed lift, or opt for non-surgical solutions like i360 Complete Facial Balancing, which uses fillers and Botox to maintain or improve previous results without additional surgery.
Source →
What is the doctor's approach to treating nasolabial folds?
While nasolabial folds (smile lines) are natural, deep folds at rest can age the face. The practice believes that the appearance of deeper nasolabial folds is primarily caused by falling cheek skin and unnoticed volume loss in the cheek and under-eye area, rather than the fold itself getting deeper. Therefore, effective treatment involves addressing the larger facial area, specifically restoring support in the cheeks and midface, to lift and soften the entire area, which can significantly improve overall facial expression. Treating only the fold is often insufficient.
Source →
What should patients consider when choosing a filler injector?
Patients should choose their injector carefully, as successful filler results depend heavily on the injector's technique, planning, and aesthetic judgment, not just the filler product or patient choices. Fillers are a complex art that takes years to master, and the "illusion of ease" can lead to undesirable outcomes like "pillow cheeks" or an overfilled look.
Source →
What are the risks of incorrectly placed under-eye filler?
The skin under the eyes is extremely thin. If under-eye filler is placed at the wrong depth, especially too close to the surface, problems can appear fast. This can lead to the filler appearing blue or gray (known as the Tyndall Effect) and can make the results look worse instead of better. In such cases, dissolving the filler is necessary.

What areas of care does Dr. David C. Mabrie cater to?
Dr. Mabrie specializes in facial plastic surgery and otolaryngology, focusing on non-surgical facial rejuvenation and contouring. He offers procedures such as injectables (Juvederm, Restylane), non-surgical rhinoplasty, chin filler, dermal fillers, liposuction, and revision rhinoplasty. His expertise extends to head and neck surgery as well. Specializes in male facial aesthetics, offering highly contoured looks and addressing trends like prominent cheekbones, chins, and jawlines. Employs a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation, treating the midface as one continuous zone to address underlying volume loss responsible for under-eye bags/dark circles, nasolabial folds, and sagging cheeks. This approach prioritizes restoring support in the cheeks and midface over solely treating individual folds. Offers customized non-surgical rhinoplasty, including techniques to create a more masculine nose by widening the bridge and tip, and building convexity on profile, contrasting with common requests for a concave 'swoop'. For patient comfort during filler injections, topical lidocaine is applied, tiny needles are used, and the filler product itself contains lidocaine. Emphasizes that successful filler results depend on the injector's technique, planning, and aesthetic judgment, focusing on rebuilding facial structure rather than just adding volume. The practice also offers filler dissolving and re-treatment for correcting previous issues.
