David Shafer, MD, FACS

Forgot to post my before pics—the side by side photos are of me pre 255cc Sientra Moderate Plus implants. The other two photos are post my original surgery with the 255cc implants & slight case of capsular contracture on my right breast.

Thought about procedure for sometime but was always out of reach due to lack of US options. Stumbled upon Shafer clinic by random chance. Followed up with my own review of academic studies showing viability of this approach. Decided to move forward. Clinic, staff, and doctor: All Excellent Day of procedure: Really easy, less painful than a flu shot but takes 20-30 minutes. Post procedure a little thicker but was flaccid so hard to gauge. Day after: Wow! First time taking off the tube bandages while hard to ensure smoothness. Size impact is stunning. Pain is mild, only took 1x200 mg Motrin the night before. Length: 6.5” BP erect Before thickness: 4.5” - 5.2” erect depending on location on shaft. After thickness (day 1): 6.0” - 6.2” erect Gain is 1.0” - 1.5” Procedure: 15 syringe Volux Perspective so far: Visual appeal: very good, but not as good as pre-procedure due to proportions (the only ‘downside’). This is not due to doctor it’s just the length to thickness ratio. Visual impact: excellent, much thicker Sensitivity: increased, surprisingly Overall: highly satisfied so far Updated on 25 Jan 2024: 1 week post- some updates that are a little saddening but overall news is still very positive. My Initial results were inflated due to swelling. New results are +0.75” - + 1.0” (still very good) Girth before 4.5”-5.2” Girth now 5.5”-5.95” Still happy but now debating if I go for 2nd treatment. Before it was like super perfect at 6-6.2. Updated on 8 Feb 2024: Second round on 2/7 for 10 syringes to get back to original peak from swelling. More pain this time but fine after day 1. This is 1 day post follow-on so results include swelling Girth is now 6.25-6.75” will monitor and then share final results.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

On 4/28/22, I had a breast reduction at the Shafer Clinic in Manhattan. I am a 62 year old woman who experienced difficulty breathing and exercising, as well as finding appropriate clothing. From my initial consultation to my follow-up visits, everything and everyone has been wonderful! Dr. Shafer, Tedra, Amy, Mirjeta... all worked their magic to make me feel comfortable and confident. The procedure itself was a breeze with minimal pain and discomfort. Most importantly, now I have cute, perky breasts instead of pendulous 36DDD breasts. I feel so much better, physically and psychologically. Thank you, Dr. Shafer!!! Thank

My experience was amazing with Dr Schafer. I went for my 2nd SWAG procedure. Hands down the BEST Dr for girth enhancement! Dr Schafer made me feel so comfortable and at ease.
