Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Ran Y. Stark

Sourced directly from Dr. Ran Y. Stark's social posts and replies.

What is Preservé Breast Augmentation and what are its benefits?
Preservé Breast Augmentation is an advanced technique designed around a different way of creating the implant pocket. It uses conscious sedation and local anesthesia, allowing patients to remain awake and comfortable. A specialized tissue separator is placed between the breast gland and muscle, followed by a balloon that gently creates the implant pocket by moving blood vessels and nerves aside. The implant is then placed directly into this space. This technique is highly individualized, with implant selection and surgical planning tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals. It is designed to preserve natural breast tissue, chest muscle, and sensation, supporting a faster and more comfortable recovery, with some patients returning to normal activities the very next day. The goal is a soft, natural-looking breast enhancement with minimal scarring, providing a natural look and feel that significantly improves patient confidence. Dr. Stark believes Preservé Breast Augmentation is 'worth the money.' Common implants used include Motiva Ergonomic 205cc Mini and Motiva Ergonomic Demi 230cc.

What is AlloClae and when is it used?
AlloClae is a structural fat primarily utilized for body contouring in areas that need added volume, such as hip dips, deflated breasts, or other regions with irregularities. It is an alternative for patients who may not have enough of their own fat for grafting, especially relevant with the increasing use of GLP-1 medications.

What is Lipoderma and when is it used?
Lipoderma is predominantly employed for addressing fat depletion in smaller areas, such as the face, temples, cheeks, hands, and breasts. It serves as an alternative for patients who lack sufficient autologous fat for grafting.

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 (2025)

$4,093

Payments

52

Compared to peers

Moderate

Dr. Ran Y. Stark received $4,093 across 52 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, 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?”
