PATIENT TESTIMONIALS

The Best Possible Outcomes

I have never received so many compliments on my skin. A close friend of mine said to me yesterday, Wow your skin looks amazing. I confided that I did Botox. She said she did as well and her skin never looked that way mine did! Was I born with good skin? No. So it absolutely matters who your provider is and Dr. Shafer is the best!!! I have never felt more confident in my life, so pleased with the results. Just this morning my husband said this is the best I have looked in years.

C.B.

Coming up on 9 months post lower face and neck lift with fat grafting and I couldn’t be happier! Dr. Shafer is warm and honest in his approach. During the consultation he listened to my concerns and was excellent at explaining the surgical process. He made the recommendation of adding the fat grafting and I am so happy I did. My neck and jawline are beautiful and the fat grafting added the volume my face needed for balance. He is an artist. The staff was wonderful as well.

C.D.

I came to Dr. Shafer for arm liposuction based on many amazing reviews from my peers. I was originally meant to have my procedure at another office but once I met Dr. Shafer and his staff I knew I would be in great hands. From my consult to the day of my surgery and even a year after they've been incredible. The attention to detail and care by him and his staff are unmatched. I wish I did more of my body with him during the first procedure because I'm back again for more! In my line of work I meet many cosmetic and plastic surgeons but I truly trust and respect Dr. Shafer with my health and appearance. I can't recommend him enough.

S.B.

Dr. Shafer is a real artist! He has perfected his craft. I had fillers, facelift, and eyelid surgeries done and I am very happy with the results. He is also very kind and friendly, with great bed side manners. I highly recommend him.

P.

The best clinic in NYC!! Their facial therapist Edyta is amazing!!! It’s an excellent xperience!! She’s an artist!!! I would never go see someone else for my facial!! I highly recommended her. The staff is wonderful!! Dr Shafer is the best surgeon in Manhattan. Elegant office!!

L.B.

Had a breast augmentation with Dr. Shafer two weeks ago. I am obsessed!! after one week I was back to work with minimal pain and no strong meds needed. The scar is so minimal and not an issue . the size is perfect and suits me well although I had thought I potentially wanted bigger initially but Dr. Shafer advised against it due to my smaller frame. I recovered quickly and am so so pleased with my result and only wish I had done it sooner!
