Approach

  • I think accessibility of your surgeon and of the doctor who's taking care of you is crucial in your careTikTok ↗
  • My PAs, Monday through Friday, are readily available during normal hours and we extend those a couple. So really we start around 637 a.m. and we usually end around 637 p.mTikTok ↗

Technique

  • Often when patients have prior saline implants and are looking to remove them and they may or may not benefit from a lift, what we will often do is rupture the saline implantsTikTok ↗
  • The initial step of rupturing saline implants is performed in the office under local anesthesia.TikTok ↗

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)

$6,084

Payments

36

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. Tommaso Addona received $6,084 across 36 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 MOTIVA USA, LLC.

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?”
