What is Forma RF and what are its benefits?
Forma RF is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses controlled bipolar radiofrequency energy to gently heat deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen remodeling.

Montilla Plastic Surgery believes patient care extends beyond the operating room. Post-operative care plans are always customized to each patient's procedure and needs. Lymphatic drainage massage, a gentle technique to support natural lymphatic flow, is often used after surgery to manage swelling, fluid buildup, and enhance comfort during recovery. This service is offered complimentary for surgical patients and is provided by their medical esthetician, Gisele, alongside Dr. Montilla's care and instructions.

TempSure minimizes fine lines, crow's feet, and smile lines, tightens lax skin, and is suitable for all skin types. It involves zero downtime, no needles, no surgery, and no redness, making it perfect for fighting early signs of aging, lifting sagging areas, and giving skin a natural, healthy bounce.

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)

$43

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Richard Montilla received $43 across 2 payments in 2024. 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 REVANCE THERAPEUTICS, 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?”
