I was unhappy with amount of abdominal pooch that I had developed over the past few years and decided to have abdominal liposuction. After reading several reviews online about Dr. Scheu's practice, I decided to go for a consultation. Dr. Scheu and his staff are amazing. My procedure was exactly as described during my consultation. Dr. Scheu and his assistant Michelle answered any concerns I had before and after my procedure. The follow up visits and after care they provide are outstanding. They are there every step of the way before and after the procedure.

I used Dr Scheu in February 2019 for a belt lipectomy, and lipo in my chest. I had a gastric sleeve in 2016 and had lots of loose skin after losing over 150lbs. My wife had used Dr. Scheu for several procedures over the previous 1-2 years and we had discussed me having the procedure several times during my wife’s visits, but being a typical male, I declined each time because I wasn’t Convinced I needed it. I didn’t think it was a thing that would make me look or feel better. However, after watching him and his staff interact with my wife, watching how his work helped my wife regain more confidence after each treatment or procedure, and after really listening to his advice and opening myself to the possibility that not only would I look and feel better, it would be healthier for me to remove all the extra skin so I would have less risk of infection. I decided to do the formal consultation. Normally, I would have felt embarrassed and awkward during this procedure, but Dr Scheu and his staff spoke to me and handled me in a way to really made me comfortable. They talked to me at a level that I completely understood and set me to ease while standing there in all my glory. I agreed to have the procedure. He gave me my instructions to follow for the days prior, and everything happened as was described. I was was given the option to have the surgery in a hospital if I wanted to pay for an operating room and anesthesia, or I could have it in one of his sterile procedure rooms, and be medicated, but awake, and numbed so that I wouldn’t feel any pain. I opted for the latter. I showed up and followed his instruction on how to begin my meds prior to my arrival. I was prepped and taken to the surgical suite. They turned on some music and talked to me the entire time! We laughed and joked. They really made me a comfortable as possible. Now......... I made things a little harder than they anticipated. I was a LARGE man. 6’7” and was well over 400 lbs at my biggest. Factors that ended up making his job much longer than we planned. But he didn’t let that stop him. He adjusted, he reassured me that everything was going ok and keep on going. Any time he remotely thought I was in discomfort, he would stop and ask me how I was. To which I insisted that we keep on going. Dr Scheu took over 10 hours to complete what should have been a 5-6 hour procedure and was comforting the entire time. When we finally finished we closed everything up. Suture lines looked great, and I was finally at ease. I live out of town and since the entire process took so long, I stayed the night in a hotel because he insisted that we come in the next day for follow up. Mind you, this all happened on a Friday, so he made us come in on his day off to follow up since it was more convenient for me. I have since returned ever 4-6 weeks for post op follow up. All of my results are fantastic and I couldn’t be happier. My wife is even planning her next procedure as week speak ! Dr Scheu and his staff are the friendliest I have ever met. They call, follow up, and actually care about you before, during and after. Dr Scheu is a rare physician in the fact that the isn’t all about the money. He wants people to be the best version of them that they can. He takes the time to listen, and answer questions. He genuinely seems to get joy from his patients happiness. I highly recommend him for anything you are considering having done!

I went to another doctor and had to pay $130.00 for consultations fee & did not accept my payment plan. Dr. Schue did NOT charge a consultation & accepted my payment plan ( Care Credit). Dr. Schue fee was $3,000.00 cheaper. Dr. Schue and his staff did not rush me during consultation time. I saw pictures of other patients & I got a chance to talk to a patient. The recovery time was short & I had no bruising. The before & after care was excellent. I get a lot of compliments. My look is NATURAL and not unnatural, (skin pull tight). Dr. Schue, nurse Michelle, and office assistant,Cheryl are the BEST. I give them 10+.

I couldnt' be happier with my experience with Dr. Sheu and his staff. After losing 70 lbs, I still wasn't happy with my body- the sagging skin on my lower abdomen made it impossible for me to like what I saw in the mirror. After consults with several different plastic surgeons, I knew that a tummy tuck was my only hope to look and feel "normal." However, a traditional tummy tuck wasn't really an option for me, as I didn't have the luxury to take the suggested 2-4 weeks of off/down time. I was less than a week away from undergoing the tummy ex procedure at sono bello, when I found Dr. Scheu and his version of a "midi tummy tuck" online. This particular procedure includes all the "nipping and tucking" of a traditional procedure except the muscle repair aspect. It is also done in his office, which eliminates hospital and anesthesia fees. He squeezed me in for a free consult on the day I called, and I had my procedure the very next Wednesday. It has been a month and a half, and I am already ecstatic about what I see. I do not believe that forgoing the muscle repair lessened my results in the least. It only lessened the expense and significantly reduced my downtime- I was back to work in 4 days!

Dr. Scheu makes you completely at ease about your procedure, from first consultation to the last exam. Although I had no post-op complications whatsoever, Dr. Scheu have me an unexpectedly generous amount of his time. I lost count of the post-op exams, but it was more than ten. It has been nine months since the procedure, and I am pleased with the results.

In 2016 I traveled from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to Maryland Ave, St Louis Missouri, United States Of America to have Facial Nerve Corrective Surgery from a previous botched up cheek implant that kept migrating and eventually causing the nerve damage to my face. While I was in consultation with Dr Scheu we discussed a Facelift. I had that Facelift that same year with Dr James.H. Scheu from the Metropolitan Plastic Surgery Clinic after he showed me real life before and after pictures of his former patients as well as allowing me to speak with some of them in person. That consultation and the real life discussion with Dr Scheu's former patients gave me the confidence to go a head with my own procedure. Dr Scheu is a very skilled and professional surgeon who is a perfectionist in his field of Cosmetic Surgery as well as a caring Doctor. I have been going to Dr Sheu's practice now for two and a half years having other procedures done like Fat Grafting, Scar Revision, Breast Augmentation Surgery and a Leg Lift Surgery. Apart from the Doctor being a wonderful and caring person he also has a team of beautiful and wonderful caring women working for him. There's Cheryl who is Dr Scheu's Receptionist and Michelle who is the Dr's Nurse. I highly Recommend These professional people if anyone is truly interested in improving themselves and expect a high quality of work.

I felt very comfortable with Dr Scheu and his staff from my first appointment. I was hesitant about getting the surgery and it took me a while to decide. I met with Dr Scheu a couple of times prior to deciding to do it. He answered all of my questions (some more than once) and his staff did as well. There was never any pressure to go through with it. The surgery itself went well and I was never in any pain. I had a question in the middle of the night after the surgery and Michelle (Dr Scheu's nurse) answered on the first ring and calmed all my worries! Between Michelle, Dr Scheu and Cheyrl I felt that I was well taken care of. I am very happy with the results and with the care that I received. I would do it the same way again.

I can’t say enough about Dr Scheu’s excellent professionalism while under his care for several procedures from face lift brow lift and several others I would be glad to speak with u if considering a surgical procedure with him. The healing process takes time to see the benefits of surgery. Dr Scheu will work with u with any follow ups you may need and always answers your calls. His family practice treats you as family. What surgeon remembers your birthday with a cake? Any further work I may elect to do will be with Dr Scheu. Can’t say enough about the entire staff from Cheryl scheduling to accommodate your work schedule or his nurse Michelle calling u thru the healing process afterwards.

I am not one to be easily awed, but my experience with Dr. Scheu and his team was nothing short of incredible. 21 years ago, at age 41, I had some body reconstruction, specifically a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants. It was a pretty grueling experience, but I was generally pleased with the results. Well, after 20+ years, gravity had done a number on me, and even though I was reluctant to put myself through the experience, I decided at age 71 that I would explore current options. I consulted with 2 surgeons, both highly recommended and both highly reviewed. I learned about Dr. Scheu from another physician who I have seen for a number of years for bio identical hormone replacement and who I greatly trust. My biggest problem areas were obnoxious “love handles”, which made anything I wore make me look lumpy. Dr. Scheu recommended a lower body lift, and his technique was so unique that I went ahead and had the procedure. He worked with the scar tissue left from the previous surgery, and the result was complete elimination of the “love handles” and a lovely lifting of my backside. The recovery was NOTHING like my previous experience, and I was back to doing everything I wanted to in a very short time. So impressed was I that about 6 weeks later I had an arm lift and a breast lift. It is so incredible, at my age, to have the ‘girls’ perky again. My clothes look great, and I have a confidence that I thought was lost forever. His surgical assistant, Michelle, kept close follow-up with me after the surgeries, by phone and text, even on weekends. As a health practitioner myself, I know what dedicated service looks like, and this is the place.

I came to Dr. Scheu needing surgery no body else would do. Every step of this procedure has been amazing. Him and his staff have made sure i was comfortable, taking care of and walked me through each step. These are the most caring people with the biggest hearts that i have ever came acrossed. I will gladly do buisness here anytime and will pass his name around. They are all so very amazing, words couldnt possibly describe. My surgery was pain free, and it was a fast healing process with end result i didnt know would look so amazing. I thank Dr.scheu and he staff i am so grateful for all of you!
