About

Dr. Stella Desyatnikova, a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon in Seattle, Washington, specializes in facial rejuvenation. She offers procedures including mini facelifts, eyelid lifts, nonsurgical rhinoplasty, and advanced filler injections with products like Restylane and Juvederm. Dr. Desyatnikova is an Ultrasound in Aesthetics Expert who prioritizes precise diagnosis and treatment, especially for complex issues such as nodules, ensuring conditions like lipoma are accurately ruled out. She considers high-definition ultrasound the best tool for complication management, provided a qualified expert operates it. Her practice often addresses the "multiply-treated face," a common challenge for patients with multiple prior aesthetic treatments. For these cases, where ultrasound imaging is crucial, patients seek her for surgery, filler dissolving, or treatment of lumps and nodules. Dr. Desyatnikova advocates for ultrasound mapping and guidance for all injections, including new indications like temple treatment, and takes ample time during surgical procedures like facelifts to ensure optimal, discreet scar healing. She also teaches ultrasound anatomy and participates in panels on injectable safety, and holds a leadership role in the Dermatologic section of the AIUM.

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)

$18,910

Payments

10

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Stella Desyatnikova received $18,910 across 10 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as consulting fee, and the largest single payer was GE HEALTHCARE.

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?”
