About

Dr. Laxmeesh Mike Nayak, MD is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon based in St. Louis, Missouri, with over 20 years of experience and training from Yale and Harvard. Specializing in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Nayak focuses on facelifts. He believes most deep plane facelifts performed today are obsolete, noting tremendous advances in facelift surgery over the last 3-4 years that extend beyond the plane of dissection. These collective advances, he states, have a greater impact than the deep plane versus SMAS difference. Dr. Nayak offers a branded 'Omakase Facial Rejuvenation®️' plan, which can include procedures like deep neck lifts, deep plane facelifts with foundation shaping, brow lifts, lower blepharoplasty, lip lifts, earlobe reductions, full face CO2 laser resurfacing, and fat transfer. He prefers the freedom and trust to restore, balance, and optimize a patient's face. Dr. Nayak utilizes Auersvald hemostatic net sutures for bleeding control, especially for high-risk patients. He teaches other surgeons and performs surgery exclusively in St. Louis, where his team is based, managing a highly efficient process for his many traveling patients. All cosmetic procedures carry risks, require individualized consultation, and results vary.

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)

$10,301

Payments

9

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Laxmeesh Mike Nayak received $10,301 across 9 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

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?”
