Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances size and shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking symmetry correction, post-mastectomy reconstruction, or volume increase. Dr. Schaffer uses advanced techniques like inframammary and transaxillary incisions to ensure natural results. Patients benefit from personalized consultations and 20+ years of surgical expertise.
Tummy Tuck
Tummy tuck surgery removes excess skin and tightens muscles after weight loss or pregnancy. Options include mini, full, and extended tummy tucks tailored to individual anatomy. The procedure addresses stretch marks and improves abdominal contour. Recovery typically allows return to light activities within days, with full results visible after swelling subsides.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty refines nasal proportions and symmetry through closed or open techniques. Addresses humps, width, and asymmetry while improving facial harmony. Dr. Schaffer's expertise ensures balanced results that complement natural features. Recovery includes initial splint removal after one week with final results emerging over 12 months.
Brazilian Buttocks Lift
BBL enhances buttock shape using fat harvested from other body areas. This dual-action procedure contours the waist while creating natural volume. Dr. Schaffer's technique prioritizes safety and proportion, with personalized planning to achieve curvaceous results that align with patients' aesthetic goals.
Neck Lift
Neck lift surgery addresses sagging skin, excess fat, and muscle laxity for a defined jawline. Combines liposuction and skin tightening to combat aging effects. Dr. Schaffer's approach minimizes scarring while delivering youthful results that restore confidence in facial appearance.
