Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Patrick J. Budny

Sourced directly from Dr. Patrick J. Budny's social posts and replies.

What is breast reduction surgery and what are its benefits?
Breast reduction, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of large breasts by removing excess tissue, fat, and skin. It can provide relief from physical discomfort such as back pain, neck pain, and skin irritation, improve the overall appearance of the breasts, boost self-confidence, and enhance the quality of life for those struggling with breast size.
Does insurance cover breast reduction surgery?
Insurance coverage for breast reduction surgery varies depending on the specific policy and the individual's medical necessity. Generally, insurance companies may cover the procedure if it is deemed medically necessary to alleviate symptoms such as chronic pain or discomfort.
What are Dr. Budny's skincare recommendations for aging skin, particularly for individuals in their 50s?
As skin ages, it experiences a decrease in collagen and elasticity, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. For individuals in their 50s, it's essential to use products that target these concerns. Dr. Budny recommends incorporating retinol for cell turnover, hyaluronic acid for hydration, vitamin C for brightening, and peptides for firming. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen is also crucial to protect against further skin damage.
What are Dr. Budny's thoughts on the Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer?
The practice strongly recommends the Alastin Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer, calling it a 'game changer' for skin. It is described as super hydrating, leaving skin soft and smooth, and packed with amazing ingredients to nourish and rejuvenate. The expectation is that once patients start using it, they won't want to stop.
What is Microneedling and what can I expect from the procedure and recovery?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates tiny, controlled injuries on the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is effective for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, and for improving overall skin texture and tone. It is suitable for all skin types and tones. Downtime is minimal, with some redness and swelling typically subsiding within a few days. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Long-term benefits include improved skin elasticity, reduced pore size, and increased overall skin radiance.
Does Dr. Budny's practice offer a skincare membership program?
Yes, the practice offers a VIP program with two tiers, designed for individuals looking to simplify their skincare routine and save money. This program aims to eliminate guesswork and help patients achieve glowing skin every month.
What is blepharoplasty and what are its benefits?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can refresh the eye area by addressing excess skin, puffiness, and under-eye bags. Upper blepharoplasty specifically improves heaviness or excess skin of the upper eyelids, while lower blepharoplasty reduces under-eye bags and puffiness. The procedure aims to create a brighter, more rested, and rejuvenated appearance, ensuring the patient still looks like themselves for a smoother, more refreshed look.
What should I know about scheduling surgical consultations?
The practice's surgical schedule, particularly for fall, fills quickly. Patients are advised not to wait to reserve their consultation.
What does a facelift involve, what are the expected results, and what is the recovery like?
A facelift is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the overall appearance of the face by reducing signs of aging like wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls. The procedure involves tightening underlying facial muscles, removing excess facial fat, and re-draping the skin of the face and neck to create a more youthful and rejuvenated look. It usually takes several hours, requires general anesthesia, and involves incisions along the hairline and around the ears. Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect some swelling and bruising that gradually subsides within a few weeks. Following post-operative care instructions and attending follow-up appointments are crucial for optimal results. While a facelift can produce dramatic improvements, it does not stop the natural aging process, and individual results may vary.
What is the Halo laser treatment and what can I expect?
The Halo laser is a powerful, advanced cosmetic treatment that combines both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin. It effectively addresses concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, uneven tone/texture, and acne scars by delivering precise laser energy to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion. The procedure is safe and effective, requiring minimal downtime. Patients typically experience some redness and peeling for a few days after treatment, but the results are considered well worth it.

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.

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Patrick J. Budny received $706 across 21 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE 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?”
