Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David Hill

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

Does age determine eligibility for plastic surgery?
Dr. Hill believes that age alone does not determine eligibility for procedures. He emphasizes that caring about one's appearance has no expiration date, and he does not clear patients based solely on their birthday.
Source →
What factors determine patient clearance for surgery?
Dr. Hill clears patients for surgery based on their heart health, lung health, lab results, and their personal goals. He has declined patients decades younger than 77 who were not safe candidates, reinforcing that health, rather than age, is the determining factor.
Source →
What is Dr. Hill's philosophy on the timing of plastic surgery?
For healthy individuals who have desired a procedure for years, Dr. Hill believes that delaying it only diminishes the time available to enjoy the results. He encourages patients to let their health decide, not a number.
Source →
What is alloClae and how does Dr. Hill use it?
alloClae is a product designed to support the body’s natural adipose tissue. Dr. Hill uses it to help restore volume and enhance contour in areas where fat naturally exists.
Source →
How does Dr. Hill ensure optimal performance and patient safety during surgery?
Dr. Hill prioritizes adequate rest to ensure steady hands, sharper judgment, and improved patience during long cases. He applies the residency advice 'sleep when you can' by planning his schedule to allow for sufficient sleep, putting his phone down at 9 PM, and not overbooking himself. He believes this commitment to rest is a planned effort, not a coincidence, directly impacting surgical performance and patient outcomes.
Source →
Does every postpartum belly require a full tummy tuck?
Dr. Hill states that not every postpartum belly requires a full tummy tuck. The key factor in determining the appropriate abdominal procedure is the location of skin laxity.
Source →
Who is a good candidate for a mini abdominoplasty and what are its benefits?
Patients with anatomy showing minimal looseness above the belly button and excess skin primarily below it are considered great candidates for a mini abdominoplasty. This procedure results in a shorter scar, does not involve belly button repositioning, and offers an easier recovery.
Source →
How does Dr. Hill approach surgical planning?
Dr. Hill meticulously plans every surgery on his schedule, often utilizing his shower time as an uninterrupted space for detailed preparation. This ensures thorough consideration of each case.
Source →
What is Dr. Hill's philosophy on achieving successful surgical results?
Dr. Hill emphasizes that the outcome achieved during surgery is only half of the complete patient result. The other half is determined by the patient's actions in the days leading up to surgery and the readiness of their home for the week following surgery.
Source →
What pre-operative and post-operative support does Dr. Hill's practice offer?
The practice provides a simplified system for pre-operative and post-operative preparation, including a physical box and a phone checklist. This covers instructions on what to stop, what to take, what to stock, who to arrange for support, and morning-of-surgery instructions. Patients are always advised to prioritize personal instructions from the team and to contact the practice if they have any doubts or questions.

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 (2025)

$4,709

Payments

16

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. David Hill received $4,709 across 16 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE 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?”
