I am absolutely thrilled with the results of my procedures with Dr. William Schleicher. He is truly a master of his art and an exceptional doctor. I traveled all the way from Charlotte, North Carolina, to have him perform two procedures for me, and it was worth every mile. Dr. Schleicher's skill and expertise in plastic surgery are unparalleled. He took the time to understand my needs and expectations, and the results exceeded anything I could have imagined. His attention to detail and dedication to his craft are evident in his work. Beyond his exceptional surgical skills, Dr. Schleicher and his team provided the best customer service I have ever experienced. From the initial consultation to the post-operative care, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism and compassion. If you are considering plastic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. William Schleicher. His expertise, care, and commitment to excellence make him the best in the field!
I can go on and on about Dr. Schleicher but I will try to keep this short. I traveled all the way from NC, abt 2 hrs away for his services. Not once did I ever feel unwelcomed or unheard. Just from the moment he walks in the room u can see his smile under the mask. Absolutely perfect bedside manner. He pretty much treated me like you would want your family member to be treated if they were having a major operation. I explained to him how I get nasty irritations and rashes under my pannus and I would like to explore a smoother contour using the procedure called panniculectomy. He consulted with me and stated I would be an ideal candidate. Although insurance denied my claim I was so certain nobody would touch me I asked him would he be able to get me a cash quote. I literally picked up a second job to pay for surgery in a couple of months. I had my panniculectomy 11/22. When I tell you I cried when I first looked in the mirror. I am a weight loss patient having lost about 60 pounds presently but the feeling of oh I still feel like this was in vain b/c I still had the pannus was disheartening. Well, I no longer have the pannus. I had 0, and I mean 0 pain since the moment I woke up from surgery. The staff from his office to Henrico's Doctors Hospital is unmeasurable. Everyone is so welcoming and understanding. I will ALWAYS take that trip to VA to consult with Dr. Schleicher of any cosmetic concerns or enhancements I may want/need. I can NEVER thank him enough for restoring my figure and giving me my confidence back. Compliments, day after day is all I receive and I am only 19 days PO. I will gladly recommend him to anyone needing cosmetic/reconstructive surgery. He is truly a master of his skill. Oh and my incision line is beautiful. I know it will be flawless after scar treatment. If I even decide to treat it cause its so thin. I will try to share progress photos as the next year progresses.
Dr. Schleicher was personable and professional; explained surgical options to treat my basal cell carcinoma; was responsive to my concerns during my 6-8 week recovery; and performed reconstructive surgery on a very difficult area on my nose with optimal results. My procedure included MOHS surgery to remove the basal carcinoma; cartilage fillers to fill the area where tissue was removed; and finally a skin graft to cover the open area.
Dr. Schleicher and Dr. Rausch were phenomenal with my Mons Pubis Lift and aftercare/recovery. Dr. Schleicher and his team treat me like royalty. He worked with my schedule and my insurance to perform this life improving surgery. When I started at 410 pounds I had no idea how much extra skin I would have hanging after 3 years of steady weight-loss (currently 190 pounds). After my panniculectomy I desperately needed a Mons lift to improve my exercise capabilities (I love to swim and that saggy skin got in the way). The surgery was painless. However I did have a hematoma open up after surgery and Dr Rausch saw me after hours on a holiday weekend to reassure me and care for my incision. The hematoma was normal but I was a nervous wreck. Dr Rausch and Dr Schleicher both care for their patients and step up for each other to ensure constant care for their patients. You will never be in better hands than with these two fantastic surgeons!
Dr Schleicher is an exceptional and compassionate surgeon. His meticulous artistical expertise and strategic goal's, result in extraordinary outcomes! He changed my appearance and increased my self-esteem with his genuine warmth and hand craft! A phenomenal surgeon!
I was very pleased in his Professionalism and how he handled me as a patient. The entire staff was so pleasant and helpful. The surgery went very well and the end result was terrific. The follow up was as expected and a much smoother than expected.
Dr Schleicher is extremely knowledgeable and skilled. I am very pleased with my breast reduction surgery that he did. He is very meticulous and careful as well as a good listener. I would absolutely recommend him to any patient!
My experience with Dr. Schleicher has been fantastic at every stage. After my consultation for breast reduction I knew I was in the right hands, and Dr. Schleicher continued to make me feel supported and confident in my choice of surgeon throughout the entire process. His kind beside manor helped me immensely. I was very anxious leading up to the surgery and was met with nothing but patience and understanding. Any question I had was answered thoughtfully and thoroughly. Additionally all staff members at the practice, from front desk to his supportive medical staff, were very kind and helpful. In my opinion, trusting your surgeon is vital to a successful experience; I trusted Dr. Schleicher fully and my results are incredible!
I went to Dr Rausch in July for mohs surgery on my nose. Dr Schleicher who partners with Dr Rausch then did a skin graft to repair the mohs location. Within 3 weeks I couldn’t even tell I had surgery. I would highly recommend Dr Schleicher. He’s kind and professional. He did a great job explaining the process and my choices for repair. His nurse was wonderful as well as. I couldn’t ask for a better experience or result. It was great that Dr Schleicher is in the same office with Dr Rausch so there was no riding to another office. The mohs doctor that was recommended to me by my dermatologist did not have a plastic surgeon in office.
WOW, such a great experience. I'm from LA and Dr. Schleicher is the best plastic surgeon I have seen. He has completely revamped my confidence. 10/10 would recommend seeing Dr. Schleicher. Wouldn't trust anyone else to do this.
Hello! Great question. This is something I am asked by almost every patient interested in a facelift procedure. Best time frame for procedure varies widely based on a multitude of factors as you may expect. A few aspects that I review with my patients are: skin type, age, prior weight loss/gain, medical comorbidities. In general I let my patients know that they could expect to "turn the clock back" roughly 10 years. Since all of this information varies widely with each patient, I would encourage you to discuss this at the time of your evaluation. Good luck! I hope this information helped.
Hello! Great question. As with many procedures, a facelift can be done under a variety of anesthetic settings. I will say that it is probably most common to perform a facelift under general anesthesia for patient comfort and safety. However, many plastic surgeons work in settings with anesthesia providers that can perform the procedure under monitored sedation. This is typically IV sedation along with local anesthesia. You would have an anesthesia provider monitoring you during the procedure much like a colonoscopy. Either way - definitely something you should make sure to ask at initial consultation as this practice does vary by patient and provider. Good luck!
