In Dr. Thomas P. Sterry's own words

How Dr. Thomas P. Sterry describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • I'll examine them, and I'll say, you know, I'm not sure that that's the right move right now
  • Dr. Thomas P. Sterry aims to give patients the best advice while respecting their autonomy and acknowledging it is their body.
  • Dr. Thomas P. Sterry believes that non-surgical breast augmentations using PRP and fillers are a huge mistake.

Technique

  • I mean, liposuction is super easy. It's half an hour into local anesthetic
  • And sometimes when I'm doing a neck lift, I need to reduce the size of them. We don't take them out. And again, they only make saliva so you really won't miss them. But we do make them smaller
  • Dr. Thomas P. Sterry's practice still uses Sculptra cosmetically for facial enhancement.

Training & credentials

  • You know, when Sculptra came out in the 2000s, I was using it on a lot of folks who had HIV, lipodystrophy, meaning they had lost all volume in their face, and we would use it to enhance their face

Consultation

  • You know, during my consultations, we ask patients what they're trying to accomplish

Recovery guidance

  • Dr. Thomas P. Sterry, MD, advises patients that they must allow their surgery, body, and plastic surgeon time for everything to mature and come together as desired.

Safety

  • My concern really is mostly about how it's going to affect things like mammograms later
  • If I do liposuction alone, it might actually expose the gland and give you a lump here. And you don't want that

Results

  • If your real problem is deeper tissues that are enlarging with age and we do superficial liposuction, you will not be satisfied with the outcome

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)

$135

Payments

1

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Thomas P. Sterry received $135 across 1 payment 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?”
