About

Dr. Gwen Maxwell is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Tucson, Arizona. She believes "exceptional results come from exceptional care, honesty, and a commitment to treating every patient like family." Her philosophy for aesthetic treatments is to "celebrate what’s already there—not change what makes you, you." Dr. Maxwell specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery, offering breast augmentation, revision, and removal, body contouring (tummy tuck, SculpSure), and facial rejuvenation (facelift). She also performs labiaplasty and offers laser, Botox, and Hydrafacial treatments, in addition to comprehensive skincare. The practice, which recently opened its Surgery Program, utilizes a newest technology lineup including Tribrid Laser, BBL HEROic, and Super Moxi. Emphasizing natural results, Dr. Maxwell uses HA lip filler to hydrate, subtly plump, and refine lips without unwanted projection, and Botox to balance smiles. She prioritizes skin health, noting that "sun protection is one of the best anti-aging tools we have" and "prevention is always easier than correction." She recommends ZO Hydro Mist and broad-spectrum SPF, encouraging patients to wear SPF, hats, and visors to protect against UV damage and help maintain treatment results.

What is Dr. Maxwell's philosophy on sun protection and skin health?
Dr. Maxwell highly prioritizes skin health and emphasizes that sun protection is one of the most effective anti-aging tools. She explains that excessive cumulative UV exposure contributes to premature skin aging and increases the risk of skin cancer. Many conditions treated with aesthetic procedures are initially influenced by sun exposure, and treatments cannot completely counteract ongoing UV damage. Minimizing controllable factors like UV exposure leads to better and longer-lasting results, as prevention is always easier than correction. She strongly recommends patients wear SPF, hats, and visors for sun protection.

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)

$448

Payments

11

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Gwen Maxwell received $448 across 11 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?”
