  • The good news is we have great solutions for ozempic breasts
  • Dr. David Stoker explains to patients what Botox can actually do for their neck.
  • You may not need lip filler if what you're actually bothered by is your gummy smile

Specialization

  • Hi, it's Dr. David Stoker, board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles
  • Specializes in face, breast, and body procedures

Technique

  • Look at how we were able to put her incision beautifully concealed under her little bikini
  • Botox can also help with crepiness and texture a little bit with something we call Microtox
  • Dr. David Stoker's practice performs procedures using local anesthesia.

About

Dr. David Stoker is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Marina Del Rey, California. He specializes in cosmetic procedures for the face, breasts, and body, offering procedures like the Bikini Body Lift® and Natural Facelift. Dr. Stoker emphasizes careful incision placement along natural body shadows, such as the bicipital groove or beneath the bikini line, to help keep scars discreet as they heal and achieve smooth, natural results. He focuses on body contouring for patients after major weight loss, helping to remove excess skin and allow them to fully realize their transformation. For facial aesthetics, Dr. Stoker adopts a holistic approach, treating the face as a whole rather than focusing only on the upper face. He recognizes the influence of lower face muscles on the jawline and mouth corners, believing this comprehensive view helps the face age more harmoniously. Patients can schedule appointments 24/7 online, choosing their provider, treatment, and preferred date and time.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. David Stoker

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

What are the early recovery expectations after a complex revision bikini body lift?
Early improvement in contour and skin laxity can be observed one week after a complex revision bikini body lift.

What is the typical healing process for scars after body contouring?
Scars from body contouring procedures are designed to be discreetly placed and can continue to fade over time.
Source →
What are common indications for breast augmentation?
Losing breast fullness is a common indication for breast augmentation.
Source →
How does Dr. Stoker treat a gummy smile, and what are the expected results?
If a gummy smile is the primary concern, lip filler may not be the appropriate solution. Instead, a small amount of wrinkle relaxer can be injected on either side of the nose. This tiny procedure works by relaxing the muscles that pull the upper lip upward, helping reduce how much gum shows when you smile. The resulting change is typically subtle.
Source →
What does gynecomastia excision and power-assisted liposuction involve, and what are the immediate results?
This procedure addresses both excess glandular and fatty tissue in the chest and is performed under local anesthesia. Patients can observe a flatter, more defined chest as early as one day after the procedure.
Source →
Do skincare regimens stop working in one's 40s?
If your skin looks different in your 40s, it does not mean your skincare regimen has stopped working; rather, your skin is changing with age.
Source →
What non-surgical treatments does Dr. Stoker offer for skin texture and collagen?
Dr. Stoker offers treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, and CO2 laser to help rebuild collagen and improve skin texture.
Source →
How does significant weight loss, including with GLP-1 medications, affect the breasts, and what are the solutions?
Significant weight loss, including that achieved with GLP-1 medications, can affect the breasts. This often results in reduced upper breast fullness, loose skin, and a lower breast appearance. Fortunately, there are effective options available to restore breast shape and volume.
Source →
What can Botox and Microtox achieve, and what are their limitations for skin laxity?
Botox can relax neck bands and sharpen the jawline. Microtox can subtly improve crepey texture. However, when it comes to truly loose skin, Botox has its limits; surgery is generally the method for removing excess skin.

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)

$455

Payments

22

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. David Stoker received $455 across 22 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. 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: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
