Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David R. Stephens

Sourced directly from Dr. David R. Stephens's social posts and replies.

What are the benefits and characteristics of MOXI treatments offered by Dr. Stephens?
Dr. Stephens highly recommends MOXI treatments, which are safe for all skin types and involve minimal downtime. MOXI can make a 'golden hour glow' permanent, refresh dull skin, brighten tired skin, improve uneven tone and texture, soften fine lines, minimize pores, and stimulate collagen. It effectively targets sun damage and pigmentation.
Source →
What are the benefits and expectations for BBL by Sciton treatments?
BBL by Sciton uses powerful light energy to target sun damage, redness, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone, while also stimulating collagen. Patients can expect a little redness immediately after treatment, which calms down quickly, leading to clearer, brighter, and healthier-looking skin over time, and a significant glow.
Source →
What is Dr. Stephens' philosophy and preferences regarding breast implants?
Dr. Stephens emphasizes that choosing a breast implant involves more than just size; patient anatomy, proportions, implant profile, and projection are crucial for a balanced result. He uses high-profile silicone implants, often placed under the muscle. He also mentions Motiva SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants, designed for natural movement, allowing individuals to go from day to night without pause.
Source →
What is augmentation mastopexy and when is it recommended?
Augmentation mastopexy is a surgical procedure combining a breast lift with implants, often indicated for patients experiencing substantial breast sagging and loss of volume after significant weight loss. Dr. Stephens uses techniques like the anchor approach to lift, reshape, and restore fullness to the breasts.

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.

Payments

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. David R. Stephens received $655 across 10 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as travel and lodging, 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?”
