Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael Horn

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael Horn's social posts and replies.

What are the post-operative breast exercises and when should they be performed?
Patients should start breast exercises four days after surgery and continue for six weeks. These should be performed three times a day for five minutes per session. Begin by placing a hand underneath the breast and rubbing down with firm pressure. For the last minute, squeeze the breast from the sides.

What are Dr. Horn's preferences regarding breast augmentation, facial rejuvenation, and incision types?
Dr. Horn prefers silicone, 'gummy' implants over fat transfer for breast augmentation, and favors inframammary incisions. For facial rejuvenation, he prefers facelifts over threads and fat grafts over fillers.
Source →
What are the benefits and characteristics of gummy breast implants?
Gummy implants are designed with a cohesive internal material that stays together even if the casing is torn or has a hole, unlike older implants where contents would drip out. Dr. Horn considers modern gummy implant technology much safer and notes they feel very natural, like a real breast.
Source →
What is the 'facelift hack' Dr. Horn mentions for a non-surgical younger look?
The 'facelift hack' involves taking one section of hair on each side and bringing them together in the back, pulling the hair up and back. Dr. Horn notes this procedure works to make the upper face look younger, more awake, and less tired, offering a way to achieve a refreshed appearance without surgery, similar to techniques used in Hollywood for actresses.

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 (2025)

$398

Payments

5

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Michael Horn received $398 across 5 payments in 2025. 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 Kerecis Limited.

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?”
