Services
Facelift
Our facelift procedure addresses visible signs of aging through precise tissue repositioning and skin tightening. Patients receive customized treatment plans considering skin elasticity, facial structure, and desired outcomes. The surgery typically takes 3-5 hours under general anesthesia, with most patients resuming normal activities within two weeks. Final results become fully visible after 3-6 months as swelling subsides completely.
Breast Augmentation
This procedure enhances breast size and shape using saline or silicone implants placed through inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary incisions. Patients receive detailed consultations about implant types, profiles, and placement options. Recovery involves limited upper body activity for four weeks, with final implant positioning settling over 3-6 months.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits through small incisions using tumescent anesthesia and microcannulas. Ideal candidates have elastic skin and localized fat resistant to diet and exercise. Recovery includes wearing compression garments for four weeks and avoiding strenuous activity during initial healing.
Rhinoplasty
Our rhinoplasty procedures address both aesthetic concerns and functional breathing issues through open or closed techniques. Cartilage grafting and septal reconstruction may be performed alongside dorsal hump reduction or tip refinement. Patients typically experience swelling reduction over the first year post-surgery.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess abdominal skin and tightens weakened muscles through a low transverse incision. The procedure often combines liposuction for optimal contouring. Recovery requires avoiding heavy lifting for six weeks, with final results visible after swelling resolves completely.

I had a tummy tuck a little over a year ago with Dr. Stark and was so happy with my results, I went to back him for my breast augmentation this year. He took the time to discuss my goals and sizes with me and worked with my allergies. I am loving my new breasts! I feel even more confident than I did before I had kids. Dr. Stark is the best! Thank you! -Emily Camarillo

Dr. Stark is one of the most professional doctors I've been to! He takes his time to listen to you and to answer your questions. His office is beautiful and spotless, his staff members are very nice and very respectful. I had a breast revision done, and my breasts are looking 10 years younger! I'm very happy with the results!

On March 2nd of this year I had a full mommy-makeover with breast augmentation, 360 degree liposuction and a tummy tuck. Dr. Stark is nothing short of amazing. From my consultation, to surgery and ultimately recovery he was attentive, professional and more importantly his work took my body from mom bod to runway model in a blink of an eye. Dr. Stark was there for me every step of the way and I say without fear of contradiction that he is the best in the business.

In August I went to Dr Stark for a breast augmentation consult, immediately I felt very welcomed by the staff. Staff knew how to make you feel at ease and offered refreshments in the cute waiting area. Dr. Stark was EXTREMELY professional and very knowledgeable. (also very handsome! Lol.) It can be very nerve racking knowing that you are going to have to have surgery but, Dr. Stark along with his staff always reassured me that this was a very easy surgery with minimal pain. They were right! My breast look INCREDIBLE! He is truly an artist! I would recommend Stark MD for all your plastic needs!

I'm very happy I chose Stark MD. I traveled over 2 hours for each appointment and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. A twin pregnancy really took a toll on my body, but Dr. Stark has completely restored my confidence. He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. He did not try to encourage any procedures that I wasn't interested in. I appreciated that he called me the night after my surgery to check in and was available over the weekend if I had any issues. He and his staff were thorough in the follow ups, making me feel supported every step of the way. The office is beautiful and the staff is friendly and professional.

I was very unhappy with my face and how much older I looked because of my lines etc. A good friend of mine had a mommy makeover done by Dr. Stark and I was amazed how beautiful and mostly how natural she looked. It has encouraged me to meet with him and get his opinion. His bedside manner, knowledge and experience made my decision very easy. He used the halo laser for my face and a deep laser under my eyes and explained how to care for my skin afterwards.
I am only 6 days in and my results are amazing. I can't thank Dr. Stark enough for giving me hope to look and feel better about myself. I want to thank Krista and Lori and all the ladies in his office. What a wonderful team! Thank you all so much.
