Awesome Experience
Dr. Schaffer and his staff are very professional. The office is spotless. I had a neck lift recently and my experience was awesome. After the surgery I reached out a couple of times by text and their response was very quick - no waiting and wondering. Dr. Schaffer is the only plastic surgeon I would trust to perform any surgery on me. In addition he is extremely talented, meticulous, thorough, and patient. I’m so thankful for him and his staff.

So glad I decided invest in myself - tummy tuck with Lipo of my flanks and muscle repair
Dr Schaffer and his staff from beginning was kind and informative. I knew right away I wanted them preform my mommy makeover. I had a breast reduction I went from G cup to a full C. I had tummy tuck with Lipo of my flanks and muscle repair. He able remove all my loose skin plus all my c section scars, my belly ring scar, and most my gallbladder surgery scars. I’m still early in my healing but I’m very happy with my results. It can only get better with time Updated on 20 Jul 2023: Feeling

Just do it, you won't regret it!
I can't say enough about Dr. Schaffer and his entire staff. The facility is amazing and each member of his staff is super helpful and takes their time to explain any questions you may have. I have felt comfortable each visit. I had a breast augmentation in December of 2021 and it has been life changing. I was a very small A all of my life and wanted something to make my body proportionate. Dr. Schaffer helped me pick my size and Id say he picked the perfect size. If you're considering

5 months post-op - uncomfortable at times, thorough with my aftercare
I meet with Dr Schaffer to discuss my procedure that I wanted to have.He discussed the procedure and where and how he would perform and the realistic outcome. I had the surgery on 7/21/21, it was successful. The process was painful and uncomfortable at times but was worth it at the end. De. Schaffer was very thorough with my aftercare and follow up. He never rush during my visits and answered all questions. His medical team is awesome and professional. You are greeted with genuine

This is Your Sign to Go with Dr.Schaffer
10 years ago I had a surgery. The surgeon had about a 1 minute consultation with me. They took my payment and scheduled my surgery. At 20 years old, I had no idea my options, risks, or That me wanting huge implants could really affect my body later. I literally cringe thinking about all the things the previous doctor never explained to me and the questions I didn’t even know to ask. All I knew was he was supposed to be the best and he would tell me, right?! No. That didn’t happen. Fast

Amazing Results from Dr. Schaffer
Dr. Schaffer and his staff have been absolutely phenomenal. I haven’t had surgery except to have wisdom teeth removed when I was a teenager and I was really scared about anesthesia. Dr. Schaffer and his staff made me feel so comfortable and so well taken care of and I am so pleased by my results! I have wanted a tummy tuck for a long time after taking off about 120 pounds. I now have the stomach and body of my dreams and I couldn’t be more thankful to Dr. Schaffer. I am so pleased
New Life After Breast Implant Removal
Dr. Schaffer gave me new life & confidence after my breast implant removal surgery. I originally had breast augmentation with another surgeon using 450 cc silicon implants. The implants were too large for my body frame and resulted in one side bottoming out, revision surgeries and pain without wearing a bra because they were too heavy. I also started to not feel like myself anymore and wanted to have them removed to reduce the pain & simply go back to being ME. A friend

Nice people but A COMPLETE waist of money
I am about three months postop BBL... The staff is wonderful and very patient. They answer all of my call and text messages. I was sold in Dr.Schaffer when he cancelled my surgery because Labs were off to make sure I was healthy enough first to have surgery. My results aren’t final I’m in the love hate phase. I follow up with Dr Schaffer often and he reassured me that if I have the same issues with my results at 6 month he will fix them. I trust him. After I get over this hurdle

Arm lift - Aug 26,2020
My weight has been a struggle for most of my life. Consequently after losing weight (and keeping it off) I am left with saggy skin. My before pics will tell that story. Dr. Chris Schaffer in the Birmingham, AL area was my surgeon and I had the arm lift done the same day as my tummy tuck. I've been very please it's the results and thankfully have experienced swelling in my arms or hands. I had no tubes in my arms, just for the tummy tuck. Went to my 4 week appointment last week
