Dr. Michael Bain, MD
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
In Dr. Michael Bain's own words
How Dr. Michael Bain describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- From a plastic surgeon’s perspective, I’ve always preferred a more conservative approach
- Look, filler isn't bad. It's just not a replacement for surgery
Technique
- I’d rather add a little, let everything settle, and continue to build toward the look you want instead of trying to accomplish everything in one appointment
- But I think you need to just have the surgeon know what's been done so they can make it, take accountability for it and adjust the technique as needed
- Dr. Michael Bain usually performs fat removal when there is an excess of fat spilling out.
Training & credentials
- Dr. Michael Bain is a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Consultation
- That’s exactly why consultations matter. Before deciding on filler or surgery, we need to figure out what’s actually creating that tired look and choose the right treatment for you
Recovery guidance
- Dr. Michael Bain recommends that most patients wear a compression garment and avoid heavy lifting after brachioplasty surgery.
Results
- The goal is to create a smooth transition between the lower eyelid and the cheek
- You have a scar, but it's right down the middle of the inside of the arm, so it's hidden when your arm is down

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)
$56,607
Payments
57
Compared to peers
Substantially above average
Dr. Michael Bain received $56,607 across 57 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 97% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Organogenesis 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?”
