In Dr. Jen Stark's own words

How Dr. Jen Stark describes their own approach, from their Instagram posts. Each statement links to the original.

Approach

  • As a plastic surgeon, I’m a big believer that beautiful results start with healthy skin
  • Surgery isn’t glamorous, and I don’t try to make it look that way

Technique

  • You’ll find me standing, crouching, twisting, or contorting myself into a position that looks completely ridiculous
  • The doctor personally closes every incision.
  • The doctor's specific positioning during surgery helps them achieve a comprehensive view of the surgical area.

Consultation

  • I give consults the time they actually need, not a rushed version squeezed into a tighter schedule

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)

$182

Payments

7

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Jen Stark received $182 across 7 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?”

What areas of care does Dr. Jen Stark cater to?
Dr. Stark specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery, focusing on procedures of the face, breast, and body. This includes procedures like facelifts, breast augmentation and lifts, tummy tucks, liposuction, and likely other body contouring procedures.

For breast augmentation, she performs a subfascial technique combined with vertical mastopexy and uses Motiva RSD implants. She also performs VASER liposuction. Dr. Stark approaches breast augmentation as a complex procedure requiring meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing that patient positioning is a critical factor. She will adopt various physical positions during surgery, even if they appear unusual, to achieve the optimal view and maintain the correct perspective for precision. She values hearing patients discuss their experiences in their own words and considers how a woman feels emotionally when she looks in the mirror after surgery to be equally important to the surgical outcome. Dr. Stark believes that beautiful plastic surgery results begin with healthy skin and consistently seeks out skincare products with logical and effective ingredients. She believes surgery is careful, technical work and does not portray it as glamorous, focusing instead on realistic expectations and meticulous execution. Dr. Stark places immense value on the trust patients place in her, viewing each procedure as a deeply personal journey. She takes this responsibility very seriously, feeling grateful for the opportunity to connect with patients and is motivated by this personal connection. For breast augmentation, Dr. Stark focuses on creating elegant, thoughtfully curated results, aiming for an undetectable outcome that is not overwhelming or noticeable from across the room.
