In Dr. Joshua Korman's own words

How Dr. Joshua Korman describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • In general, I actually think a lot of people want to look better. They don't want to look different
  • Now, it depends which operation, obviously, noses, breasts, things like that, they would like to look different
  • The practice is committed to ethical care.

Specialization

  • Specializes in Rhinoplasty

Technique

  • With my new uplift procedure, it's like not even any scar, a visible scar. But these are all really hidden
  • Dr. Korman’s innovative techniques place incisions within the hairline and natural creases around the ear
  • First thing is, you don't want any tissues under tension. You don't want to pull any skin too tight
  • The idea is to pull snugly on the tissues underneath, in a deep plane, and then you want to let the skin drape naturally

Training & credentials

  • We are honored to announce that Korman Plastic Surgery and Wunderbar Medspa have been certified, yet again, by World’s Leading Clinics for 2026

Consultation

  • Facelift consultations at Dr. Korman's practice are conducted without pressure or obligation.
  • A facelift consultation at Dr. Korman's practice begins with a conversation with Dr. Korman and concludes with a personalized plan.

Results

  • That's the whole idea, to make it look like you never had an operation

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)

$15,687

Payments

16

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Joshua Korman received $15,687 across 16 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, 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?”
