Dr.Shafran is the most professional, most honest, most knowledgeable, and most trustworthy doctor. I have always had consistently beautiful results and have left all of it in the hands of Dr.Shafran. He will never give you more or less than you need, will always talk you through whatever questions or worries you may have, and will care about you from beginning to end. There is no doctor to trust more.
My experience has been nothing but amazing! Dr Shafran has been more than patient w me and all my questions. My breasts was always my biggest insecurity. Now I don’t feel so ashamed and comfortable in my own skin! I will def forever recommend!!
My whole experience from start to finish was amazing. The office staff is so friendly and helpful. Dr. Shafran was wonderful! The surgery center staff was also incredibly sweet! I am always taken on time for my appointments. I have never felt rushed. I couldn’t be happier with how my breast surgery turned out! I feel and look so much better!
I can’t rave enough about Dr.Shafran and his staff. From our first conversation to this day his care and bedside manner have been second to none. My surgery was seamless from the time I signed in to discharge. I'm now 4 weeks post op a mommy makeover, I feel and look amazing ! Dr.Shafran truly changed my life and I can’t thank him and his staff enough!
Overall my experience was beyond what I could have expected. Dr. Shafran is one of a kind. He took as much time as I needed to answer all of my questions. I will admit I was nervous about a bbl 360 you read some scary stuff on the internet he assured me I was in good hands. Day of the consult I went home told my husband I’m doing it and scheduled surgery the next day. The surgery center was very nice the staff nurses and anesthesiologist made me so comfortable. Dr Shafran was there to calm my nerves prior to surgery and next thing I knew was in recovery room with hardly any pain. Today I am post op day 4 loving loving my results so far I go for my lymphatic massage daily which is part of the package and it’s so worth it. I recommend Dr shafran for any of you aesthetic needs he is a real true artist and will make you feel so much better and more confident in your own skin. So happy with my decision
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine how much this procedure would change my life! I knew from looking at Dr Shafran’s work that he was an absolute perfectionist but it’s time we add a few more words to describe him! He is comforting-his bedside manners are second to none…he listens to your needs and concerns before he gives his expert advice… he is gifted, he ‘creates’ works of art….he is a brilliant MASTER surgeon who deserves every ounce of praise and award offered to him! Thank You, Dr Shafran for giving all us MOMS the confidence back that we once had. You are the coolest, most down to earth Doctor I’ve ever met and I’m proud to be your patient (even if it took me six years to finally go through with it) Ladies (and Gents) book him NOW, you deserve to feel as good as he makes you look!
Dr. Shafran definitely exceeded my expectations. I didn’t think it was possible to get the results that he gave me. He swapped out old, saline implants that were encapsulated and too large for my body. He did a breast lift with smaller silicone implants that are perfect for my frame. They look completely natural. I wish I’d found him years ago, he’s simply the best!
I am almost 1 year post opp breast augmentation by Dr. Michael Shafran, I have never been more happy and confident, he completely changed my life. I had a complete reconstruction surgery and everything came out perfect. He listened to exactly what I wanted, and knew what was best for my body and shape. They look amazing and so natural you can't even tell I have implants which is the look I was going for. After my first time meeting with Dr. Shafran I knew he was going to be the doctor to help me get the results I wanted and the only doctor I would ever trust. What I love about him is that he strongly cares about his patients and is always responsive and the most knowledgeable person I know.As an incentive for posting a review, this reviewer received an entry into RealSelf’s monthly $500 gift card giveaway.
My experience with Dr. Shafran was truly amazing. I always knew that I wanted breast implants but was always too scared to make such a permanent decision. Well after my consultation with Dr. Shafran I knew immediately that I was finally ready to make the commitment. Dr. Shafran listens to what the patient is asking for and respects the needs and wants of the outcome. I had my follow up appointment 3 days after surgery. Once the bandages came off I knew immediately that I made the right decision. I was so happy with my results, looked so natural and fit perfectly with my body. Dr. Shafran cares about his patients and has such great bedside manners. If you are contemplating the decision, treat yourself and pay a visit to Dr. Shafran. Highly recommend!
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shafran. He has excellent patient rapport. He thoroughly explained the liposuction preoperative, intraoperative, & postoperative procedures/care and alleviated all of my concerns. I had my abdominal, flank, and back areas treated. Aside from the obvious aesthetic improvement, I have also noticed an improvement in my posture. I'm very satisfied with my results. I would go to Dr. Shofran for future procedures and recommend him to friends and family!
Thank you for sharing your pictures and your question. Liposuction results of any kind, whether it be SmartLipo or traditional liposuction, are completely dependent on choosing a surgeon who is qualified and experienced in the field of body contouring. That being said, I offer all of my patients a combination of the two procedures to augment my results. By doing this, the patient gets the benefit of SmartLipo to melt the fat in an even plane with minimal contour irregularities, as well as the long term skin shrinking effect during the recovery period. I use the additional standard liposuction to "fine tune" the procedure, to perfectly contour and sculpt the patient. Best of luck!
While it is unknown if the lipoplex injections directly affect the fat transferred for your BBL, it is common that as a patient loses weight in general, the size of the buttocks will decrease as well. Fat cells are thought to have "memory," meaning that although they are now in your buttocks, they still "think" they are in the other parts of your body where they were originally suctioned from. Therefore, it is possible that as you lose weight overall, the fat transferred for your BBL can decrease in size somewhat. This is a similar phenomenon women face when they gain and lose weight, and have fluctuation in their breast size. Hope this was helpful.
Thank you for sharing your question and your before and potential after photos. You are correct in your concern that there will be a small degree of loss of volume in the weeks following the fat transfer. In my patients, I always hope to achieve between 70-90% retention of the volume I have placed. These numbers can vary due to the type of fat transfer system used by your surgeon, as well as how adherent you as a patient are to your surgeon's post operative instructions. The key to maintaining volume is to place little to no pressure on the buttocks following surgery, I have my patients on a strict off-loading protocol for a minimum of 3 weeks. In your case, I see that you have some lateral contour irregularities, and need central projection. I would not shy away from placing anywhere between 500-750 cc per buttock, but it really is up to your surgeon's aesthetic eye to meet your goals while still on the operating table. Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing your pictures and your concerns. As it is only 4 days post-op, it is too early to panic regarding the shape and appearance at this time. After a sub-muscular breast augmentation, it is very common for that muscle to "tense up" and give the appearance of misshapen implants. Please listen to your surgeon's post operative instructions and follow with him/her closely. For my patients, I encourage downward compression in the early post operative period so the implants descend into the pockets I have created, as well as gentle downward massage. Each patient is different, but by limiting the activity of your upper extremities, the muscles will soften and the implants will round into form over the next 2-4 weeks. Hope this was helpful!
Thanks for sharing your question and your pictures. For insurance purposes, you would first have to visit an optometrist/ophthalmologist so that they may perform what is known as a "visual field study." They will analyze your field of vision, and determine if the loose and excess skin of your upper lids is impairing your vision. If they find that is the case, you can take the results of your study to your surgeon and they can submit the findings to your insurance company and await their approval as the surgery would be medically necessary and not for cosmetic purposes.
