What is Transaxillary Breast Augmentation and what are the scarring expectations?
Transaxillary Breast Augmentation is a procedure Dr. Fine performs where implants are placed through a small incision discretely hidden in the crease of the armpit, leaving the breast completely scarless. While this procedure comes very close to being scarless, it's important to note that scar healing varies significantly among individuals, influenced by factors such as genetics, skin type, age, overall health, wound location and depth, and pre-existing conditions.

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)

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Neil Fine received $609 across 9 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was RTI SURGICAL, 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?”
