How does Dr. Young address facial changes after weight loss injections?
Weight loss injections can lead to a loss of volume and firmness in the face and neck. Dr. Young uses dermal fillers to restore lost volume and enhance areas like the cheeks, temples, and lips. For more significant loose skin or sagging, a face or neck lift can provide a longer-lasting solution by lifting and tightening underlying tissues. The best approach is personalized based on the patient's anatomy, goals, and degree of volume or skin laxity changes, aiming to help the face reflect how good they feel after weight loss.

What is Dr. Young's philosophy and approach to lip fillers?
Dr. Young believes balance is everything when it comes to lip filler, emphasizing that more filler doesn't always mean better results. The goal is to enhance natural features, restore subtle volume, and create results that complement the face. Overfilling can lead to an unnatural appearance and affect facial balance. A thoughtful, personalized approach ensures lips look beautiful and proportionate, often resulting in subtle improvements that are noticed but not easily identified as filler.
Source →
What is Microneedling and what aftercare is recommended?
Microneedling is considered a natural treatment for healthier, clearer, and plumper skin, improving fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin tone. Proper aftercare is crucial: keep skin clean, use gentle skincare products, apply SPF, and follow provider instructions. Avoid picking/scratching skin, harsh exfoliants/active ingredients too soon, and excessive sun/heat while healing.

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)

$1,220

Payments

12

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Rodney Young, III received $1,220 across 12 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% 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?”
