Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker

Sourced directly from Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Whitaker's Signature Neck Lift technique?

Dr. Whitaker's Signature Neck Lift uses an innovative technique with tiny, discreet incisions placed behind the ears and under the chin. This procedure aims to reclaim a youthful neck contour, provide a longer and more defined neckline, and address concerns like double (or triple) chins and loose, sagging skin, all with minimal downtime, resulting in a firmer, more youthful appearance.

How does Dr. Whitaker treat crow's feet?

Crow's feet are the small 'V' lines at the corners of the eyes that almost everyone develops. Dr. Whitaker uses neurotoxins such as Botox and Xeomin to soften these lines. Patients can inquire about adding a few units of neurotoxin to their crow's feet at their next neurotoxin appointment.

What causes a double chin and how does Dr. Whitaker treat it?

A double chin can be challenging because sometimes it's determined by genetics rather than weight loss. Dr. Whitaker performs surgeries to correct double chins and also offers effective non-surgical treatments like Kybella and SculpSure. Kybella is an injectable that dissolves fat cells, which are then absorbed by the body. SculpSure uses heat energy to achieve the same fat-dissolving effect.

What is a Liquid Facelift and who is it for?

The Liquid Facelift is a treatment option for individuals who may not be ready for a full surgical facelift. It restores youthful volume and a lifted 'triangle' shape using a combination of fillers and neurotoxins. Dr. Whitaker commonly provides this treatment to women and men in their 30s and 40s.

Is age 40 too young to consider a facelift?

Dr. Whitaker states that 40 isn't too young to consider a facelift. There may be advantages to having a minimally invasive procedure earlier in life to address sagging skin, which could provide longer benefits than having a facelift later.

What does Dr. Whitaker's consultation process involve?

During consultations for aesthetic treatments, Dr. Whitaker addresses several key questions to determine the most appropriate treatment for optimal results. These include: 1) What are the patient's aesthetic concerns? 2) What are the patient's expectations regarding the degree of change (from minimal to more dramatic)? 3) What is the patient's overall health, including medical history, current medications, and allergies? These factors, along with desired results, comfort level with surgical/non-surgical options, and downtime limitations, help determine the most suitable treatment, with safety as the number one concern.

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)

$208

Payments

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Elizabeth Whitaker received $208 across 4 payments 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?”
