About

Dr. Thomas G. Korkos, MD is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Waukesha, Wisconsin. He specializes in cosmetic surgery, including breast augmentation, reduction, facelifts, eyelid surgery, rhinoplasty, and body contouring procedures such as liposuction and tummy tucks. Dr. Korkos and his practice emphasize a comprehensive approach to facial surgery, addressing skin, underlying muscles, fat, and fascia. This method aims for natural-looking, long-term anti-aging effects, helping patients achieve a younger version of themselves. Beyond surgical procedures, Dr. Korkos focuses on wellness, offering supervised Wellness & Weight Loss Programs. These include GLP-1s, microdosing, HCG, natural weight loss, and Hormone Replacement Therapy. Microdosing GLP-1s involves slowly increasing dosage to suppress some hunger and control inflammation, useful for maintenance or weaning. He also offers RHA® Redensity, a lightweight filler for delicate areas like lipstick, necklace, or smile lines without adding significant volume. Patients interested in a facelift begin with a personal consultation, while complimentary consultations are available for Wellness & Weight Loss programs.

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)

$43

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Thomas G. Korkos received $43 across 2 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?”
