Dr. Ryan Couvillion, MD
Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
In Dr. Ryan Couvillion's own words
How Dr. Ryan Couvillion describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.
Approach
- Can we use that as an absolute definitive line like, oh, you're 34.9, you don't have that risk. You're 35.1, you do have that risk. No
- To me, the belly button is like, no, no, no, no, no. I got to take my time because this is the thing that's visible
- I think I kind of classify people into two groups and I think these groupings really make a difference in the recurrence rate and also just what are our options, okay?
Specialization
- Belly button revisions can often be done right in the office.
Technique
- So I take my time. I try to do a little flap. I like tuck things way down. I also trim the belly button way back and I tack it down to the fascia. So it's way down deep in a hole. It's just a scar, right? So it doesn't need to be like really visible
- Dr. Ryan Couvillion performs procedures that involve removing the capsule, tightening tissues, and inserting a new implant.
Training & credentials
- But for me, that's five cases. It was nine hundred pages of documents in PDF form, plus photos. Plus, it was crazy
- Dr. Ryan Couvillion observed during his training that many surgeons considered the belly button an afterthought during tummy tucks and mommy makeovers.
Consultation
- For belly button revisions, Dr. Ryan Couvillion's practice allows patients to send a picture to his staff for an initial assessment of candidacy, enabling him to quickly determine if he can provide treatment.
- In person and virtual consults available!
Recovery guidance
- But God forbid you have some kind of a complication. Usually by about three months, we've got it all sorted out
- Local anesthesia in the office, downtime is nothing other than just don't go swimming in dirty water and I wouldn't go like to super crazy Pilates the same day

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)
$767
Payments
14
Compared to peers
Modest
Dr. Ryan Couvillion received $767 across 14 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?”
