Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Erika Sato

Sourced directly from Dr. Erika Sato's social posts and replies.

When is a good time to focus on skin rejuvenation?
Dr. Sato suggests that fall is an excellent time to shift focus back to skin health, especially after months of sun exposure, heat, and outdoor activities.
What is Tetra PRO CO₂ and what does it treat?
Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa utilizes Tetra PRO CO₂ for highly customized skin resurfacing treatments. These range from lighter CoolPeel® treatments with minimal downtime to deeper CO₂ resurfacing for significant sun damage, wrinkles, texture issues, acne scarring, and skin laxity. The goal is to stimulate collagen, encourage cellular turnover, and reveal smoother, brighter, healthier skin.
Does Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa offer lymphatic massage?
Yes, Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa offers lymphatic massage services, performed by a Licensed Massage Therapist. This service supports patients during recovery by encouraging healthy lymphatic flow and managing post-procedure swelling.
What is the recovery timeline for tummy tuck and liposuction results?
Results from tummy tuck and liposuction are typically visible at 3 months post-procedure. At this stage, healing continues, and swelling resolves, allowing for a clearer view of the evolving abdominal contour. Results continue to settle and refine throughout recovery.
What concerns can tummy tuck and liposuction address?
Tummy tuck and liposuction procedures can address excess skin, rectus diastasis (often from pregnancy), and stubborn areas of fat. Targeted liposuction can be applied to specific areas like the upper abdomen, waistline, and mons.
What is Everesse RF and what are its benefits?
Everesse RF is a non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation treatment available at Embody Plastic Surgery + Spa. It uses advanced radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen production, improving skin quality and creating a firmer, more lifted appearance without significant downtime.

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)

$300

Payments

18

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Erika Sato received $300 across 18 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 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?”
