Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. John D. Smoot

Sourced directly from Dr. John D. Smoot's social posts and replies.

What is T-Z Plasty and how does it compare to a full face and neck lift?
T-Z Plasty is a powerful, targeted neck lift designed to address loose neck skin, often referred to as 'turkey neck,' especially after major weight loss. It is distinct from a full face-and-neck lift, offering a specific solution without the extensive scope of a full lift. Suitable candidates are those seeking a fix for 'turkey neck' without needing a comprehensive face and neck procedure. The practice can detail incision placement, scar healing, and the typical surgery and recovery experience.

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)

$168

Payments

8

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. John D. Smoot received $168 across 8 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?”
