About

Dr. Manuel A. Lopez, MD is a Triple Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon practicing in San Antonio, Texas, with locations in Alamo Heights, Boerne, and Stone Oak. He primarily focuses on facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Lopez creates personalized surgical plans designed to enhance natural features rather than change a patient's identity, guiding patients through every step of the process. His practice offers a range of treatments. For skin rejuvenation, he uses SkinPen microneedling to stimulate collagen and improve acne scars or neck wrinkles, often combined with Daxxify to soften pores and fine lines, and PDGF to support skin repair. The practice also offers BBL and MOXI for brighter, smoother skin. For body and facial toning, CoolTone uses magnetic muscle stimulation for abs, glutes, and thighs with no downtime, and TriLift Dynamic Muscle Stimulation tones facial muscles for a lifted appearance, also non-surgical with no downtime. Dr. Lopez also provides Hormone Replacement Therapy, emphasizing a personalized approach based on individual symptoms and levels, and offers Peptide Therapy. Patients can benefit from complimentary consultations for many services and the L Loyalty program, which provides spendable credit and savings on injectables.

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)

$12,665

Payments

59

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Manuel A. Lopez received $12,665 across 59 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Lumenis BE 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?”
