In Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman's own words

How Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • And I'm here to answer the question about non-invasive fat reduction
  • I just took out a ruptured implant and I wanted to show the nurses what the new cohesive implants look like compared to the older ones
  • Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman's practice lifts when they cannot achieve desired results with fillers.

Specialization

  • I see a lot of patients that have had breast implants sometimes 10, 20 years ago, and they want to know if they're good forever
  • I'm Darryl Hoffman, a plastic surgeon in Palo Alto and San Jose

Technique

  • And I think it works better than the cool sculpting because the heat disperses out so it avoids the risks of irregular fat removal
  • This is a laser that we put on the skin and it warms up the fat while cooling the skin at the same time
  • And we can do four of these at one time and cover the abdomen or the love handles or even the arms
  • This is a funnel I used to suck up the silicone that's inside

Technology

  • It's the Sculpture Machine by Sinasur. It's a non-invasive fat reduction machine that uses thermolysis or heat sculpting

Consultation

  • The practice offers complimentary consultations at both of its locations.

Safety

  • Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman recommends that patients experiencing signs of hardening, pain, irregularity, or changes in breast shape should consult their doctor due to the potential for implant rupture.

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 โ€” 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)

$659

Payments

13

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman received $659 across 13 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 56% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. 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: โ€œDo you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending โ€” and what alternatives did you consider?โ€
