Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Marco M. Zahedi

Sourced directly from Dr. Marco M. Zahedi's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Zahedi's approach to jawline and neck contouring with Botox?
Dr. Zahedi loves to introduce jawline and neck contouring with Botox, especially for patients experiencing 'Turkey Neck' appearances due to strong platysma band muscles. This condition is very easily correctable, typically requiring two to three sessions of Botox. The treatment involves applying Botox along the lower jawline and down the side of the neck along the platysma muscle. Patients can expect improvement in jawline definition, rebalance of underlying muscles, and a 'lifting' effect in the neck and jaw area. Dr. Zahedi considers jawline contouring a crucial, often under-discussed topic, as the jawline is the second most important facial structure for maintaining facial projection. He notes that as people age, sagging jawline skin can contribute to wrinkle formation, double chin, and an unhealthy appearance.

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)

$25

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Marco M. Zahedi received $25 across 1 payment in 2024. 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 Lilly USA, LLC.

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?”
