Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Michael T. Somenek

Sourced directly from Dr. Michael T. Somenek's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits of combined face and body surgeries at the practice?
The practice offers simultaneous face and body cases, performed by two experts (Dr. Somenek and Dr. Pittman) as one operation. This approach provides a better patient experience by requiring only one anesthesia session, one operating room, and one facility fee. Operating simultaneously significantly shortens the total time under anesthesia compared to performing each procedure separately, leading to less downtime and a single recovery period instead of two.

What is the ideal timing for plastic surgery?
A common misconception is that plastic surgery has a specific 'season' for optimal timing. In reality, the ideal time is whenever an individual can dedicate time to themselves for recovery. For many patients, late summer is an ideal opportunity to recover before busy fall schedules, holiday events, and year-end celebrations begin. Planning surgery in advance ensures patients will be fully healed and able to enjoy their results for months ahead.

What are the limitations of skincare products?
While skincare is essential, there is a limit to what it can achieve. Serums, retinols, or peels will not fix certain issues that may require surgical intervention.

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)

$127,967

Payments

70

Compared to peers

Substantially above average

Dr. Michael T. Somenek received $127,967 across 70 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 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?”
