Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Gil Kryger

Sourced directly from Dr. Gil Kryger's social posts and replies.

What do Facelift and Neck Lift procedures involve and what are their goals?
Facelift and neck lift procedures aim to reduce visible signs of aging on the face and neck. They involve the removal of excess facial skin, tightening of underlying tissues, and sometimes repositioning of facial fat to create a more youthful appearance. These procedures target sagging skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, and loose facial muscles that have lost elasticity due to aging and sun exposure, resulting in a more naturally lifted, rejuvenated, and refreshed facial contour.

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)

$17

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Gil Kryger received $17 across 1 payment 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 Endo Pharmaceuticals 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?”
