Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Gilson J. Kingman

Sourced directly from Dr. Gilson J. Kingman's social posts and replies.

What are the indications and expected results for Blepharoplasty?
Blepharoplasty can address hooding, puffiness, or heaviness around the upper or lower eyelids. For many patients, it creates one of the most noticeable and natural-looking differences. Results are subtle and natural, not 'done,' making patients look more refreshed and awake. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with other facial procedures, depending on the patient's goals.

Why does skin along the jawline and neck lose elasticity with age?
As people age, the skin along the jawline and neck loses elasticity in ways that are difficult to address non-surgically.
Source →
How does a surgical lift work and what are its results?
A surgical lift repositions and tightens the underlying tissue for results that look natural and last.
Source →
What is the practice's philosophy on maintaining effective treatments like Botox?
Once an effective treatment is found, the practice recommends patients continue with it for sustained results.
Source →
What causes 'overfilled' results from dermal fillers and what are the desired outcomes?
Overfilled results are typically due to overcorrection during administration, not an inherent issue with the filler product itself. When administered by skilled hands, filler enhances natural features so subtly that people just think you look 'refreshed.'
Source →
How long do plastic surgery results typically last?
Many plastic surgery procedures, such as breast augmentation and facelifts, are designed to last for years, sometimes decades, with proper care.
Source →
How much recovery time is needed for plastic surgery?
Recovery time varies significantly depending on the specific procedure, with some treatments allowing patients to return to normal life within days.
Source →
Is Botox used preventatively?
Yes, Botox is increasingly used preventatively by people in their 20s and 30s to slow the formation of fine lines before they set in.
Source →
What is the Mermaid Facial?
The Mermaid Facial, offered by The VISTA Med Spa, consists of nano-microneedling and PDRN, paired with an LED Treatment. This treatment stimulates collagen, renews the skin's surface, and leaves the skin with a noticeable glow.

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)

$3,687

Payments

40

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Gilson J. Kingman received $3,687 across 40 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. 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?”
