In Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva's own words
How Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- So from a surgical standpoint, that's how I see it. The face and neck age together, so you address them together. Sometimes when you address one and not the other, it can look imbalanced. They're really part of the same anatomy
- Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva's practice philosophy involves thoroughly evaluating new technologies and their real-world results before introducing them to her patients.
- The goal is to get ahead of the changes instead of chasing them later
Specialization
- Specializes in Face & Body Plastic Surgery.
Technique
- This is where I'll give you my honest clinical opinion. I prefer a staged approach. Smaller volumes, spaced out, let the tissue integrate. You'll get a more natural result and a safer one
- And it's not just for breasts. It could be for hip dips, irregularities after liposuction, or even butt augmentation
- Then there are bio-stimulators like Sculptra and Radiesse. They're not typical fillers. They signal your body to build its own collagen. So the results are gradual, natural, and they're longer lasting
Technology
- And energy devices like Otherapy, Thermage, and Scarlet Pro, they trigger your skin's own repair response from the inside out
Training & credentials
- Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva is a Regenerative Medicine Specialist.
- Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon.
Recovery guidance
- You don't need general anesthesia. It's an in-office procedure and you don't really have much of a downtime
Safety
- And so far, the safety profile has been very reassuring and I'm now confident offering it in my practice

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)
$2,162
Payments
12
Compared to peers
Moderate
Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva received $2,162 across 12 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 Lumenis BE 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?”
