The eyes feature some of the thinnest skin on the entire body. Plus, they are exposed to the elements all the time.

To all of you out there doing research on cosmetic surgery. Seek no more and make your appointment with Dr Schaffer. He is absolutely the best of the best. He has an amazing gift to transform and takes every case very serious to make you feel confident about yourself. I am 16 weeks post op tummy tuck (July19,2021) and my results are looking amazing. A couple of years ago He also did Blepharoplasty on me. I had the bags under my eyes making me look older and tired the results were amazing so when I decide on a tummy tuck I went back to him because that’s how great he is. He takes his time to explain

Dr. Schaffer and his staff made my entire experience absolutely wonderful. They took the time to answer all of my questions and I never felt rushed or pressured. Dr. Schaffer is an amazing doctor and I could not be happier with my breast augmentation. He explained all of my options in great detail so I would know exactly what to expect. Even then they are better than I ever could have imagined! It was the best decision I ever made and I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to everyone!

I LOVED my experience with Dr. Schaffer!!! I felt like he actually listened to me and inserted his opinion when requested. My surgery was flawless, the anesthesiologist made me feel like we were BEST FRIENDS as soon as she walked into the room prior to my surgery, and the results were more than I could have asked for! I would 100% recommend Dr. Schaffer to any of my friends and family!

Had my first postop appointment today and got to see my new breasts for the first time. Everything seemed like a blur when I was in the office; but as I sit here at home reflecting on all the events that led up to this, I’m overcome with emotion and tears of joy. My whole life is about to change and I’m so grateful. I’m grateful that Dr. Schaffer said yes to my breast reduction surgery; I’m grateful to the office staff for getting my surgery covered, guiding me every step of the way so that I felt comfortable and informed and for being patient and caring with me the entire time. I’m grateful

Dr Schaffer and his team have been phenomenal!!! I had a full tummy tuck and implant exchange and I could not be happier with the results only 2 weeks later. When looking for a surgeon, I researched incision/scar placement and belly buttons and Dr Schaffer had the best outcomes of all the docs I spent months looking through. My scar placement is a million times better than I hope for and my belly button is adorable, even though it's not finished healing yet!!! The staff in the office have been amazing as well!! They are all so kind and caring. If you're looking for a plastic surgeon, you have found

I am officially 6 months breast aug post op and I am very pleased with my results. I love the size Dr.Schaffer and I settled for. He has a very natural approach to sizing, my body looks well proportionate and everyone thinks my breasts are big and natural. I love them! Highly recommend! He takes Care Credit! I financed mine for 12 months interest free. There is times they do specials where you can finance for 18 months interest free too!! <3

an "update", just out of curiosity I did several consults around town/state, and will tell you right now - don't even waste your time and money! Go straight to Dr Schaffer!!! He continues to be the best in his field, aided by a superb staff! That combination is so hard to find these days. Plus the amazing results Dr Schaffer repeatedly cranks out cannot be beat! My results have exceeded expectation, yet again. Thank You, Dr Schaffer!

Dr Shaffer is awesome, and so is his staff. I had breast augmentation done June of 2018. And until this day I am still so happy with the results. This is one of the biggest deals ever! I was so scared about all of it and all the questions I walked in there with was all answered in my first consultation with him! After that it was all good. All questions answered which made me sure he was a good physician and knew what he was doing! He's honestly the best! Everyone always ask me where I went and I always tell them who! Because he did such a awesome job! Thank you again Dr Shaffer and his staff

Where do I even begin? Dr. Schaffer was the best choice for my upper and lower blepharoplasty, hands down. There are people out there who say it's best to go to an oculoplastic surgeon for this type of surgery so choosing someone who doesn't specialize solely in eyes didn't come easily at first. However, seeing all the experience, awards, photos and excellent ratings changed my mind. The final deciding factor was my consultation with Dr. Schaffer. I was afraid the surgery would change the shape of my eyes but the doctor explained why it happens and the reason it wouldn't with

With hundreds of Plastic Surgeons in Texas I can truthfully say Dr Schaffer is by far the best in his field. After months of researching Drs and reading patients reviews I chose Dr Schaffer, one of the best decisions I have ever made. From my initial consultation to my surgery even my post- op follow-up. He answered all of my questions and concerns.
His Staff is so incredibly efficient , pleasant and very quick to work around your schedule if need be... Thank you Dr Schaffer for doing such an amazing job! You have given me self confidence that I have never had before..

Let me explain to you why Dr. Schaffer is always excited to see me! I call him (The doctor's Dr.) After many extensive breast augmentation and repairs no other doctor should have been willing to touch me for fear they would cause more damage! But one doctor did and I paid a small fortune and ended up so depressed because my self-esteem was lower than I could ever imagine! Dr. Schaffer was my last hope! Believe me when I tell you he did not leave the OR until he knew I would be completely satisfied with his work! I do believe I was his most challenging surgery! But he exceeded my expectations

I could not be happier with my results from Dr Schaffer. He is an experienced expert. The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. I've been in many offices where the staff peers down their. Nose at you in a judgmental way. This was never the case here. During my consult I felt very comfortable and knew I wanted to have my procedure with someone who knew exactly what they were doing and an expert. There are many plastic surgeons to choose from and i am not interested in a flashy salesman offering discounts on procedures. You pay for what you get. I'm extremely happy with my results

At 54 , 34 years of marriage, and seven kids, what little chest I had to start with had dwindled to nothing. I didn't want to look at myself, and was embarrassed if my husband saw me without clothes. I was scared of having surgery until a good friend of mine decided to get hers done. She had done tons of research, and Dr. Schaffer was at the top of her list. After my friends surgery and listening to her rave about how wonderful he was, I was sold. I did it, and I love them! My friend was right! Dr. Schaffer was very professional, and definitely has tons of experience and skill. He

From a Physician:
He was a salesman prior to my wife's augmentation. I told him my wife was frequently participating in high impact sports such as jujutsu and had concern about the implants integrity. He sarcastically replied (to a fellow physician) that I was worrying about nothing and the "only time he had seen failures" was when one of his patients was in a major car accident.
Within 6 months my wife suffered a ruptured implant! When we went back in there was NO expression of empathy! He didn't even say I'm sorry this happened to you. He presented a completely different

A complete joke. Number one the doctor here has not had the surgery I had done to me and two he did not take pictures of what he was supposed to do when I came in.. I paid $50 for him to say "oh I eat too much" and that's false he doesn't know anything as a plastic surgeon.. you supposed to take pictures of something and you never did.. he gave me around the bush of what the procedure was as they call it

I researched to find the best plastic surgeon in the San Antonio area for months. Once I set foot in Dr Schaffer's office, I knew that is who I wanted to to my surgery. From his staff to his office, everything was perfect. I could not have asked for anything better... my surgery was flawless. I would recommend him to anyone wanting ANY plastic or reconstructive surgery. Thank you Dr Schaffer and staff

Amazing staff, very friendly and caring, their laser hair removing machine is really painless and fast, I am so glad I don't have to shave anymore!!.
Dr. Schaffer is the best!! I went in for Botox as well and I have never been happier with my appearance. Surprisingly Botox helped rid me of migraines. I couldn't even tell I had the shots they were so painless and I was relieved when he performed the injections himself and answered all my questions patiently, I will definitely be back for more!!! I even referred my mother to Dr. Eric Schaffer for breast augmentation surgery :)
