Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Judith M. Gurley

Sourced directly from Dr. Judith M. Gurley's social posts and replies.

How does liposuction complement a tummy tuck?
Liposuction can refine specific areas that a tummy tuck might not fully address, allowing for more comprehensive body contouring.
Source →
Are breast implants lifetime devices?
No, breast implants, including Motiva devices, are not lifetime devices and may require future revision.
Source →
What are the potential risks associated with breast implants?
Potential risks associated with breast implants, including Motiva devices, include infection and changes in sensation.
Source →
What can a mini tummy tuck achieve?
A mini tummy tuck can beautifully refine the lower abdomen, remove a C-section scar, reduce or eliminate rolls, and smooth the lower belly skin.
Source →
What are the limitations of a mini tummy tuck?
A mini tummy tuck does not correct rectus diastasis (separation of abdominal muscles).
Source →
Who is an ideal candidate for a mini tummy tuck?
The mini tummy tuck approach is designed for patients whose concerns are limited to the lower abdomen and who do not require full muscle repair.
Source →
Can diet and exercise fully restore the body after pregnancy?
While diet and exercise are helpful, they are rarely sufficient to fully restore the body to its optimal condition after pregnancy and childbirth due to stretched skin, weakened muscles, and dropped tissues.
Source →
What procedures are typically included in a Mommy Makeover?
A Mommy Makeover can include a combination of breast procedures (lifts, augmentations, or reductions) paired with body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, or muscle tightening to help bring the body back into balance after pregnancy.
Source →
How do lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol affect surgical recovery?
Smoking, nicotine, drugs, and alcohol negatively impact overall well-being and significantly hinder the body's ability to heal after surgery. Avoiding these habits can minimize the risk of post-operative complications, as there are no benefits from them that aid in recovery.
Source →
What is Dr. Gurley's approach to post-operative care and healing?
Dr. Gurley emphasizes regular post-operative visits to closely monitor healing, as every body heals differently. The practice designs customized recovery protocols to optimize wound healing, specific to each patient's surgery, incisions, and skin type, ensuring comprehensive care before, during, and after surgery.

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 (2025)

$200

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Judith M. Gurley received $200 across 2 payments in 2025. 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 RTI SURGICAL, 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?”
