Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Saul R. Berger

Sourced directly from Dr. Saul R. Berger's social posts and replies.

What does a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) involve and who is it for?
A Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is designed to remove excess skin and fat and tighten the abdominal wall, aiming for a smoother, firmer, more defined, and proportionate abdominal contour. It is indicated for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or changes in abdominal skin and muscle tone. It's important to note that results vary based on individual anatomy, skin quality, muscle separation, and healing.

Does Dr. Berger offer in-office procedures under local anesthesia?
Yes, Dr. Berger performs certain cosmetic procedures, such as upper eyelid surgery, in the office under local anesthesia. For suitable candidates, these procedures can be completed comfortably without general anesthesia, offering benefits like less downtime, quicker recovery, and eliminating the need for a hospital or surgery center stay. Dr. Berger determines if an in-office procedure is a safe and appropriate option during your consultation.
Source →
What can I expect during a consultation with Dr. Berger?
Every consultation with Dr. Berger is personalized to your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. During this time, Dr. Berger will determine if a specific procedure, such as eyelid surgery under local anesthesia or an in-office procedure, is safe and appropriate for you, and help you learn which treatment may be right for you. A consultation is required for procedures like breast augmentation.

What is Ptosis Correction and how does it help?
Ptosis correction is more than just a cosmetic procedure. When the upper eyelid droops, it can make you look tired, create facial asymmetry, and in some cases even interfere with your vision. By lifting the eyelid to a more natural position, ptosis repair can restore a brighter, more refreshed appearance while also improving function. This procedure is usually done in conjunction with an upper blepharoplasty.

Are all patients candidates for breast augmentation surgery?
No, not all patients are candidates for breast augmentation surgery. Candidacy is determined during a personalized consultation.
Source →
What are the applications and benefits of Dermal Filler, particularly for the jawline?
Dermal filler applications extend beyond just lips and cheeks. When strategically placed along the jawline, filler can enhance definition, improve facial balance, and create a more contoured, sharper, and youthful-looking profile. It can also help camouflage early jowling or mild loss of definition. Every treatment is customized to the patient's unique facial anatomy.

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)

$22

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Saul R. Berger received $22 across 1 payment 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 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?”
