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)

$228

Payments

5

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Tanya Judge received $228 across 5 payments 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?”

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Tanya Judge

Sourced directly from Dr. Tanya Judge's social posts and replies.

What is the post-operative care and recovery process like after rhinoplasty?
After rhinoplasty, nasal splints are inserted for one week to hold the nose in place. During this week, patients must breathe through their mouth, and while generally not painful, it can be uncomfortable. The nose will be swollen, and swelling will significantly decrease over time. Dr. Judge also recommends a specific nose taping method using trimmed Steri-Strips for the first week after the splint is removed to help reduce swelling. The taping involves placing the first tape on the nasal tip, covering the nostrils slightly, and subsequent tapes overlapping down the dorsum.

What is Dr. Judge's opinion on CoolSculpting versus Liposuction for fat reduction?
Dr. Judge believes liposuction is superior to CoolSculpting. She notes that CoolSculpting can be expensive, require multiple rounds, cause discomfort, and carries a risk of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia (PAH), where fat cells paradoxically get larger. In contrast, liposuction is typically a 'one and done' procedure that completely removes fat cells, offering a controlled and predictable way to achieve desired body shape, usually in one or two sessions.

What is Dr. Judge's stance on Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs)?
Dr. Judge considers the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) a dangerous procedure and is not 'totally on board' with it, primarily due to the high risk of fat embolism. She explains that during a BBL, fat transferred to the buttocks can accidentally enter a large vein, travel to the lungs, and block blood oxygenation, leading to a fat embolism. The mortality rate for BBLs is 1 in 3,000, which she considers 'ridiculously high'.

What is Dr. Judge's approach to PDO threads for facial lifting?
Dr. Judge believes PDO (Polydioxane) threads can work well in some patients, but emphasizes that correct technique and placement are key. She explains that PDO threads are meant to lift soft tissue and must be placed in a deeper plane, stopping just after the facial crease and then lifting up. If placed too superficially, they can poke out until they dissolve into collagen. She also stresses the importance of trimming thread edges deep into the skin to prevent them from poking out.

What is Dr. Judge's philosophy and technique for neurotoxin (Botox/Dysport) injections?
Dr. Judge aims for natural-looking results with neurotoxin injections, preferring some natural facial movement while minimizing deep lines. She considers Dysport and Botox 'pretty equivalent,' with Daxofi as a close second, and generally doesn't favor other types of tox. For the glabella, she typically uses 12-14 units for a natural look (up to 20 units is possible). For the forehead, she recommends around 10 units for smaller foreheads and up to 20 for taller ones. For crow's feet, she prefers 6-8 units, and 1-2 units for a subtle lateral brow lift. She emphasizes injecting the brow arch to prevent a 'Spock brow' and advises patients to avoid hats or downward dog for two days post-injection, with normal activity resuming thereafter.

What are Dr. Judge's considerations for breast implant sizing and placement?
Dr. Judge advises against choosing the largest implant size, especially if concerned about sagging, as larger implants tend to drop, stretch the skin, and cause more inflammation over time, leading to increased sagging. She explains that implants are typically placed either above or below the muscle (between the ribs and muscle). Initially, muscle compression can make the breast appear smaller, but over time, the muscle stretches, allowing the implant to settle and become more visible.
Source →
What is Dr. Judge's recommended approach for under-eye concerns?
Dr. Judge considers lower eyelid surgery, specifically involving the re-transposition of eye bags and adding fat, as the 'gold standard' for achieving bright and smooth under-eyes. She emphasizes that makeup has limitations and cannot correct certain structural under-eye issues, which often require surgical intervention for the best outcomes.

Her expertise also extends to other procedures such as breast implants, tummy tucks, and labiaplasty. She also offers skin care and laser treatments.

For breast augmentation, she recommends conservative implant sizing to minimize long-term sagging and inflammation.

She considers lower eyelid surgery with fat transposition the 'gold standard' for under-eye concerns.
