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.

Payments

11

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Larry Fan received $2,359 across 11 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as travel and lodging, 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?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Larry Fan

Sourced directly from Dr. Larry Fan's social posts and replies.

What is MiraDry and what does it treat?
MiraDry is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment that can dramatically reduce excessive underarm sweat and odor, providing lasting results. This condition, affecting about 3% of people with regular, frequent, severe outbreaks, can impact confidence, relationships, and even career.
What is the recommended schedule for breast implant checkups and MRIs?
Breast implants require regular checkups, just like the rest of your body, to prevent silent complications like rupture from wear and tear. Dr. Fan recommends scheduling regular checkups with your plastic surgeon every one to two years. Additionally, an MRI for breast implants should be done five years after surgery, and then every two years thereafter. Patients should also pay attention to any subtle changes in how their breasts look or feel.
What is Dr. Fan's perspective on Motiva breast implants?
Motiva implants are the latest, sixth-generation silicone breast implants, featuring new designs, fillers, and surface textures aimed at reducing complications and creating a more natural feel. While they are currently popular, Dr. Fan advises caution, emphasizing that new technology doesn't always mean better. He stresses the importance of balancing excitement with careful observation and long-term studies, as long-term data is still limited. Patients should discuss their individual needs and goals with their surgeon to determine if Motiva is a good fit.
What are the characteristics of 'cute' versus 'hot' facial aesthetics?
Cute faces often feature big, round eyes, a small button nose, a large forehead, and soft, round features, which tend to trigger nurturing instincts. In contrast, 'hot' faces are typically characterized by a strong, defined jawline, high sculpted cheekbones, bold eyebrows, and more angular features, signaling sexual maturity and genetic fitness. However, these are not strict rules, as beauty standards vary significantly across cultures and evolve over time.
What are the key characteristics of modern breast implants?
Modern breast implants are considered marvels of medical engineering, designed to be safe, durable, and provide natural, beautiful results.
What are some common myths about breast augmentation?
It's a myth that natural results are not possible with breast augmentation; they are. Another myth is that implants must be replaced every 10 years; they only need replacement if issues arise. Most patients return to work within a few days, and each breast augmentation surgery is customized with personalized sizing.
What is a Deep Plane Facelift and what are its benefits?
A Deep Plane Facelift is a technique that releases and lifts the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS layer) of the face, which is the fibromuscular layer providing facial support. By lifting from below the muscle, this technique provides a very natural, not-at-all-windswept look with great longevity, unlike pulling just the skin which can result in a 'scary looking' windswept appearance. While it is an expensive procedure, it offers beautiful, lasting results.
What are the risks of a facelift and Dr. Fan's perspective on the decision to undergo one?
The chance of permanent nerve damage from a facelift is about 1%, meaning 99 out of 100 patients wake up thrilled. Dr. Fan emphasizes that fear does not protect individuals; it only keeps them stuck. If a patient chooses not to have a facelift, there is a 100% chance they will remain unhappy with their appearance, continue to dislike their photos, and avoid mirrors, as nothing changes.
What post-facelift care and complementary treatments does Dr. Fan recommend?
After a facelift, the next phase of care can include treatments for skin refinement and longevity, such as CO₂ laser resurfacing. Hormone therapy is recommended for overall health, and neurotoxin injections can be used for aesthetic 'polish'.

What areas of care does Dr. Larry Fan cater to?
Dr. Fan's areas of care include plastic and cosmetic surgery, with a focus on achieving aesthetic goals. He performs a variety of procedures, including breast augmentation, top surgery, liposuction, and non-surgical treatments like Botox and Juvederm. He also has expertise in age management. Dr. Fan's philosophy for natural-looking results focuses on enhancing existing features rather than erasing them, working with what patients have. This approach involves subtle tweaks, such as 'barely there Botox' and fillers designed to add volume without altering the entire face. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing skincare and overall health (including diet, exercise, and sleep) and encourages patients to embrace their unique individuality, aiming to be the best version of themselves rather than conforming to cookie-cutter beauty standards. For facelifts, Dr. Fan believes a good plastic surgeon understands how tissues age, move, and heal, possessing both artistry and anatomical precision. His approach is to lift what has fallen without distorting what is natural, thereby restoring the face's harmony without changing the patient's identity, allowing patients to recognize themselves again, feeling confident, radiant, and fully alive.
