Penis fillers - better than expected
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

I have never felt more confident in my life
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

Beautiful results - 9 months post lower face & neck lift & fat grafting
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.

Can't recommend him enough - unmatched attention to detail
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

I have cute, perky breasts instead of pendulous 36DDD breasts
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
