Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Gary Motykie

Sourced directly from Dr. Gary Motykie's social posts and replies.

What hair restoration options does Dr. Motykie offer?
Dr. Motykie offers both surgical and non-surgical hair restoration. Non-surgical options include PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections, which use growth factors from your own blood, and injections of human biologics like exosomes or stem cells, which can stimulate follicular regrowth, thicken existing hair, and activate dormant follicles. Surgical options include scarless hair grafting techniques like FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), which provide natural-looking results by individually extracting and placing follicles. Often, a combination of these techniques, with PRP used for preparation and maintenance, yields the best results.
Does Dr. Motykie recommend Ozempic for weight loss?
Dr. Motykie does not recommend using Ozempic specifically for weight loss.
What is Dr. Motykie's approach to lip enhancement, especially for challenging anatomies?
Dr. Motykie emphasizes natural-looking results for lip enhancement. For patients with thin lips or those who tend to develop an 'overdone' or 'ducky' appearance with fillers, a lip lift is often a better alternative. An upper lip lift can naturally turn up the lip to show more of the red border, and if fillers are used afterward, they will achieve a more natural, balanced look. Dissolving existing lip filler is also a simple way to improve appearance.
What brow lift techniques does Dr. Motykie use for younger patients?
For younger patients considering a brow lift, Dr. Motykie would typically utilize endoscopic procedures or techniques involving smaller incisions to achieve a natural lift with minimal invasiveness.
What is an upper blepharoplasty and what are its alternatives?
An upper blepharoplasty is an upper eyelid surgery designed to open the upper eyes. While surgical options exist, some improvements in upper eyelid appearance can also be achieved through non-surgical methods like Botox and brow lifting/reshaping.

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)

$145

Payments

7

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Gary Motykie received $145 across 7 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?”

What areas of care does Dr. Gary Motykie cater to?
Dr. Motykie's areas of care include breast surgery, body contouring, rhinoplasty, facial rejuvenation (including facelifts and lip lifts), and non-surgical cosmetic procedures. He also performs reconstructive surgery. Dr. Motykie approaches facial injury repair with an eye for cosmetic enhancement, often performing subtle tweaks to areas like the eyelids and under-eyes during the repair process. While some cosmetic work can be done with the initial injury, it's typically performed after initial healing and swelling has subsided for optimal results. His philosophy in facial aesthetics focuses on creating overall harmony, where all features work together to enhance beauty without any single feature becoming a distraction. This approach aims for balanced, natural-looking results. He utilizes facial fillers strategically to highlight cheekbones, balance the midface, and refine facial shape, for example, transforming a 'bottom heavy' face into a more balanced, heart-shaped appearance.
