My cousin had liposuction by Dr. S last year and she asked me to pick her up at the hospital. I did not even know until the day before that she was having plastic surgery. She had liposuction of her thighs, belly, back and arms. She looked fantastic. I went with her to her follow up appointment with Dr. S and started asking questions about surgery for myself. I went back the next week for a full consultation and decided to have liposuction of my abdomen, waist, back and thighs. I also had silicone breast implants. Dr. S's and his office staff were so nice and helpful. They knew I was nervous but spent time discussing the procedures in detail and told me what to expect. I saw how easy my cousin's recovery was, so that made it helpful too.

Anyway, I am so happy I did the liposuction and breast implants. Now I look fantastic too.

Hi,

Welcome to RealSelf and thanks for the review! Before I add you to the breast augmentation community page could you please provide a bit more information about your experience to fully aid our community? :)

1. Did you experience pain and downtime?
2. Would you do it again?
3. What do you wish you knew before hand?

Thanks so much,

1. Not so much pain. It really was just some discomfort for a few days.

2. Of course I would do it again. I am so happy.

3. Nothing really. Dr. S explained everything very well and the surgery went smoothly. They really love him at the hospital. All the nurses kept telling me how great Dr. S is.

Hi, was the price of $12,000 just for the breast augmentation, or was the liposuction procedures included in it? I am looking to consult with Dr. Shafer as well. Please let me know, thank you.
