Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (53.9%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 33 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sientra, Inc. at 54.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $53,613 and has fallen 87.8% since, to $6,525 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 396 payments — averaging $176.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
