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.

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Swet Chaudhari received $637 across 5 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 TELA Bio, 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?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Swet Chaudhari

Sourced directly from Dr. Swet Chaudhari's social posts and replies.

What technique does Dr. Chaudhari use for medial thigh lifts?
Dr. Chaudhari performs medial thigh lifts using a curvilinear incision, which extends up to the inguinal crease and then straight down the medial aspect of the thigh towards the knees. The procedure involves liposuction in the areas and removal of loose skin, often for patients after major weight loss.
Source →
What techniques does Dr. Chaudhari use in rhinoplasty?
Dr. Chaudhari performs open rhinoplasty, including dorsal hump reduction and medial osteotomies to narrow the nose. Immediately after the procedure, the nose is typically a little bit small and bruised, but these effects are expected to resolve with time.
Source →
What are Dr. Chaudhari's techniques for facelifts and neck lifts?
Dr. Chaudhari performs standard facelifts with an incision along the front of the ear and behind the ear to pull the neck up. For neck lifts, he uses a direct excision with a TZ neck lift and platysmaplasty, which involves lifting and bringing together the platysma muscles and skin. A Z-plasty incision is used along the front of the neck, as oblique incisions are considered less visible than vertical ones.
Source →
What does a lip lift achieve?
A lip lift involves removing loose and redundant skin to shorten the distance from the base of the nose to the upper lip. This procedure pulls up and everts the upper lip, creating a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Source →
What is Dr. Chaudhari's approach to brow lifts?
Dr. Chaudhari performs direct excision brow lifts, making an incision on the upper edge of the brow. This approach is chosen for patients with high hairlines or thinning hair, common in males, where other incision hiding places are limited. The goal is to pull the eyebrow up to a nice, more aesthetically pleasing location.
Source →
What are the benefits of using surgical mesh with breast implants?
Surgical mesh is used to support breast implants and reduces the chance of implant migration, malposition, or bottoming out.
Source →
What is included in the breast augmentation package price?
The listed price for breast augmentation includes the surgeon’s fees, implants (saline or silicone 'gummy bear'), absorbable surgical mesh, anesthesia fees, and facility fees. Additional costs apply for any breast lift procedures, and pricing may increase due to elevated BMI or previous surgical history. Promotional pricing expires September 30, 2024.
Source →
What types of breast implants and techniques does Dr. Chaudhari use?
Dr. Chaudhari commonly uses silicone implants, which have been available since 2002 and are very popular. He also offers newer, highly cohesive 'Gummy Bear Plus' implants, which have been around for the last few years and are also extremely popular. For placement, he frequently uses the dual-planing technique (also known as 'half under the muscle'), where the upper inner aspect of the implant is covered by the pectoral muscle, while the lower outer aspect has only breast tissue coverage. This is a very popular technique for breast augmentation in the U.S.
Source →
What is the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon?
Dr. Chaudhari emphasizes that a cosmetic surgeon is not a plastic surgeon. While cosmetic surgeons may be capable of performing some procedures like liposuction, they often lack the training to perform many aggressive, invasive procedures that board-certified plastic surgeons are qualified for.
Source →
What are the risks and complications of fat transfer to the breasts?
Injecting too much fat into the breasts can lead to fat necrosis, where transferred fat cells die. This can result in significant scar tissue, including large, palpable, firm balls of scar tissue (oil cysts) in the breast. While benign, these may require removal if they are palpable or visible. Other benign scar tissue masses may be left in place if not causing any issues.
