A Liposuction Pioneer

David A. Stoker, MD, FACS, is a skilled plastic surgeon performing hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. In fact, he is experienced in one of the latest less-invasive techniques, Smartlipo™, and pioneer in the use of power-assisted liposuction. He even teaches the course on liposuction to other plastic surgeons at annual meetings for the two most prestigious plastic surgery organizations in the United States - the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. These courses are the primary means through which surgeons are able to maintain a current knowledge of state-of-the-art cosmetic surgery techniques. In his teachings, Dr. Stoker emphasizes several important concepts — the most important being an uncompromising dedication to safety. He also discusses decision-making, loose skin, overweight patients, sculpting techniques, difficult areas and complimentary procedures. The courses are designed to help surgeons understand the principles needed to achieve superior results and happy patients with liposuction.

The New York Times, in The New York Times Style Magazine, chose Dr. David A. Stoker as one of the top three surgeons in the United States for liposuction. The October 2005 article also mentions his skill in the "mommy makeover," which typically includes power-assisted liposuction, a tummy tuck and breast surgery.

The Dr. Phil Show chose Dr. David A. Stoker as their plastic surgery expert. Dr. Stoker appeared on the show to assist Dr. Phil in helping patients make wise decisions regarding cosmetic procedures. He also has demonstrated his expertise in cosmetic surgery on The Learning Channel, The Discovery Health Channel and many other television shows.

Dr. Stoker has contributed substantially to the current medical literature in defining the standards for liposuction and body contouring surgery. In the prominent 2005 textbook Current Therapy in Plastic Surgery, Dr. Stoker co-authored the chapter on liposuction and body contouring. Over the last few years, Dr. Stoker and his partner, Dr. W. Grant Stevens, have published over ten articles on cosmetic surgery in the most prestigious plastic surgery journals, the Aesthetic Surgery Journal and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Their contributions to cosmetic surgery literature are among the most significant for any plastic surgery private practice in the United States.
