Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (51.3%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Solta Medical, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC accounts for 87.2% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $82,305 and has fallen 71.1% since, to $23,822 in 2025. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in CA 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 131 payments — averaging $1379.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
