In Dr. Patricia DePoli's own words
How Dr. Patricia DePoli describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- Dr. Patricia DePoli enjoys providing care for unexpected needs, driven by her belief that everyone, including her own family, should have access to timely help.
- Dr. Patricia DePoli considers the combination of microneedling and CO2 redundant, believing that both are not necessary.
Technique
- Dr. Patricia DePoli prefers to perform more superficial CO2 treatments multiple times rather than a single deep treatment that requires a longer recovery period.
- Dr. Patricia DePoli's technique involves emptying breast tissue from underneath the skin rather than cutting it out, allowing the remaining skin to re-adhere to the chest wall and raise the entire breast.
Technology
- Dr. Patricia DePoli prefers to use a very soft filler that moves naturally for lip augmentation, avoiding fillers that lack elasticity or appear rubbery.
Training & credentials
- Dr. Patricia DePoli's string trick is derived from her years of experience caring for trauma patients in the ER, where she had to remove their rings.
- Dr. Patricia DePoli's medical training emphasized learning patients' stories and having empathy for every patient.
Recovery guidance
- Dr. Patricia DePoli recommends multiple sessions for patients desiring a more augmented lip, performing the procedure slowly over time to achieve safe, long-lasting, and natural-appearing results.
Safety
- Dr. Patricia DePoli's practice prioritizes accurate diagnosis to prevent misdiagnosis and undertreatment of serious conditions like melanoma.
- Dr. Patricia DePoli employs this string trick to ensure patients' rings remain safe and do not become too tight on their hands due to swelling from treatment.
Results
- Dr. Patricia DePoli aims for a more spherical, higher breast form that takes weight off the front of the body, contrasting with the flat, boxy results of older breast reduction techniques.
- Dr. Patricia DePoli's technique pulls the skin together with minimal gaps and prevents external marks, which is a method plastic surgeons use to improve scars beyond regular closures.

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)
$115
Payments
1
Compared to peers
Small
Dr. Patricia DePoli received $115 across 1 payment 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 MERZ NORTH AMERICA, 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?”
