Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Shannon Armstrong

Sourced directly from Dr. Shannon Armstrong's social posts and replies.

What is a Thigh Lift and who is it for?
A thigh lift is a cosmetic surgery procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the thighs, resulting in a more toned and contoured appearance. It is popular among individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight or struggle with sagging skin on the thighs.
Source →
What are the risks of lymphedema related to breast surgeries?
The more surgical procedures a patient has had to the chest—whether to treat breast cancer or to reconstruct the breast—the greater the chance of disruption to the lymphatic system and the greater risk of lymphedema.
Source →
What should I do if I suspect I'm at risk for lymphedema?
If you believe you are at risk for lymphedema, please come to our office for an exam.

What is a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) and what does it address?
A Tummy Tuck (abdominoplasty) is considered the single best surgical procedure for the removal of excess abdominal skin and tissue that diet and exercise alone cannot resolve.
Source →
What is a Mini Facelift and who is it suitable for?
A mini facelift may be a good option for individuals frustrated with signs of aging on their face but not ready for a full facelift. It is typically less invasive, uses fewer incisions than a traditional facelift, and is efficient in addressing sagging skin and signs of aging.
Source →
What are Botox treatments offered by the practice?
The practice offers BOTOX® treatments, including for the neck, to improve and soften the appearance of crow’s feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and other wrinkles. While wrinkles caused by laughing and everyday smiles aren't the worst, they are generally undesirable, and Botox can help address them.

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)

$133

Payments

3

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Shannon Armstrong received $133 across 3 payments in 2025. 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 Mentor Worldwide LLC.

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?”
