About

Dr. F. Ryan Wermeling is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Louisville, Kentucky, affiliated with Associates in Plastic Surgery. He also serves as Clinical Faculty at the University of Louisville and brings eight years of real-world practice experience. Dr. Wermeling provides comprehensive plastic surgery care, including both cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, with a specialization in breast reconstruction. He also offers services such as breast reduction, tummy tucks, and breast implant removal. Dr. Wermeling approaches lip treatments with a light touch, aiming for natural enhancements that avoid an 'overdone' appearance and make patients look relaxed, often utilizing a Lip Flip, DAO Lift, and Juvéderm Ultra. Arm lifts are a favorite operation, where he combines liposuction and skin removal for powerful changes. For implant replacement, Dr. Wermeling ensures several options are available to find the right fit, preferring to use temporary sizers to adjust for fit without contaminating the permanent implant.

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)

$672

Payments

15

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. F. Ryan Wermeling received $672 across 15 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was RTI SURGICAL, 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?”
