A Pioneer In Liposuction In Los Angeles

David A. Stoker, MD, FACS, is a skilled plastic surgeon in Los Angeles. Liposuction is one of the hundreds of procedures he performs 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 the Los Angeles plastic surgeon's expertise in the "mommy makeover," which typically includes power-assisted liposuction, a tummy tuck and breast surgery.
