Eric S. Schaffer, MD., FACS Reviews

I have wanted breast implants almost my entire life. Unfortunately, I kept procrastinating and putting them off-- well, that turned out to be the best decision I ever made because that's how I came across Dr. Schaffer. My breasts are fantastic! I love how they look and am not embarassed by them anymore. I feel so much more confident with these beauties on display. His staff is extremely helpful as well. I was in contact with Debbie for quite some time asking questions about costs and procedure-- she was always so friendly. I love going into the office for check-ups and seeing everyone's friendly faces. Getting breast implants was one of the best decisions I have ever made and I only wish I would have found Dr. Schaffer sooner.

Breast Augmentation (Saline Implants)

Mar 1, 2013Lynsie, San Antonio, TX

My husband and I researched every breast augmentation surgeon in San Antonio for six months before I made my decision, and without question, it was the wisest choice I could have made. We did not want the plastic, over-inflated look that we see in so many women, and when we saw page after page after page of Dr. Schaffer's patients, whom we would not have known were augmented without the "before" pictures, we knew he was the surgeon for whom we were looking. I told him "I want to go as big as I can and still look natural." The number he gave us (400 cc) was much bigger than we had been expecting, but we trusted him (and our judgment), and six months after the surgery, after everything had settled into place, my cup size is twice the size it was, and the look is incredibly natural. Four women at the gym where I work out have begged me for Dr. Schafer's contact information because they could not even tell I have received augmentation.

I can't speak highly enough about Dr. Schaffer and his wonderful staff. After giving birth to my three children, my body was in definite need of help. Through diet and exercise I had gotten back into shape, but I still had numerous stretch marks,sagging skin, and a sad excuse for what used to be a belly button. My hips and thighs no longer looked athletic as there seemed to be a layer of fat that just wouldn't budge despite my best efforts. My breasts had always been too large causing me problems, but after the children, they were left extremely droopy causing me even more back trouble than before. I was extremely nervous at my consultation with Dr. Schaffer. I had a hard time allowing even my husband to see me naked. To bare it all for a doctor was nothing short of terrifying. I got myself all worked up for nothing. Dr. Shaffer was extremely pleasant and put me at ease right from the start. I felt very comfortable and confident with him; so much so, that I scheduled my surgeries that very day. I am now four months post-op, and I couldn't be happier. The surgeries were completely life-changing. Dr. Schaffer gave me confidence in myself that had been missing for years.

My experience with Dr. Eric Schaffer and his staff was absolutely wonderful. Words cannot describe how grateful I am with the care I received. The staff who work for Dr. Schaffer are so friendly and helpful, and from my first consultation all the way throughout my recovery I received excellent care. Dr. Schaffer is an outstanding surgeon and has exceeded my expectations. After having children my body changed dramatically and I was left with excess skin around my stomach and saggy breast, I lost confidence with the way I looked and needed a change. I did some research and found Dr. Schaffer and so happy I did, he is an artist and has helped change the way I look forever. I have NEVER had a tummy this flat before and I look great! Im looking forward to bathing suit shopping for the first time in years. Thank you so much! Dr. Schaffer, Victoria and Debbie.

I have always had smaller breasts, but learned to love them, when they were in their perky prime. However, 3 children, and now in my 30's, they turned in small sagging breasts. Very unhappy with their shape since after my birst born, I have been wanting this done for 11 years. My husband, finally caving in researched online for the perfect doctor, and was very impressed with Dr. Schaffers website, so we scheduled a consult. Arriving at the office, the first thing you are greeeted with is the wonderful staff of ladies, that treat you like an old friend, and make you feel right at home. We were immediately impressed with Dr. Schaffer's thoroughness. He strives for perfection, and offers the best recommendations based on what the client is looking for. I am only 3 weeks post op, and am in love with my new breasts. My recovery was much faster than expected, after just 5 days I was only taking extra strenght tylenol, and back to taking care of all 3 kids while the hubby was at work, with no problems. It is also comforting to know that I will be a patient of Dr. Schaffer for the life of my implants, as he will continue to see me to ensure my breasts remain at their best.

My experience with Dr. Schaffer and the Office Staff has been exceptional. The first impression I received from my appointment with Dr. Schaffer was that he is a person that tries to create perfection in his work, and that he cares about what he doing for each person. He was very meticulous and that left me feeling very confident in knowing that the outcome would be positive and I was in good hands. I was put at ease through his knowledge and experience during my initial consultation. Dr. Schaffer provided the information pertaining to the procedure that left me knowing I made the right decision for me. In addition to my positive experience with Dr. Schaffer, the Office Staff are super individuals. Debbie and Victoria are both warm and friendly individuals that also contributed to making me feel at ease with my decision for the surgery. I have found myself looking forward to my appointments because each of these individuals has made me feel very welcomed and I enjoy my visits with them. The outcome after my surgery has made me feel good about myself, and now I wish I had done the surgery years earlier rather than waiting until I was in my early 40s. Thank you, Dr. Schaffer, for helping me to feel good about myself again.

I interviewed several doctors for years and after interviewing Dr. Schaffer I was instatntly pleased and very comfortable going forward with my tummy tuck. The staff was very helpful and informative of the cost of the procedure. Preoperative and postoperative instructions were very informative and I new exactly what to expect. I was very comfortable prior to the procedure and after the procedure.

I was recommended to Dr. Schaffer by a friend who had her breast augmentation done by him. Her results were amazing so I chose to go to him for my breast augmentation as well. At my first appointment I had no idea what size I wanted even though I had done some research. When Dr. Schaffer came in he was very friendly and professional. He started by explaining in detail what type of implants are available, what type he recommends and why, the placement of the implants and answered any questions I had. He then let me try on different sizes of implants so I could see how they will look on me. He was very patient with me as I was a little indecisive as to what size I liked best and had to try on the same ones a few different times. The staff was extremely friendly and made my visits as pleasant as possible. I had my pre-operation appointment with Debbie and she eased a lot of my concerns and made sure I had all the information I needed to be as prepared as possible for my surgery. The day of surgery went as planned and I was checked in by 6 a.m. and checked out by noon. All of my follow up visits with the staff and Dr. Schaffer have been like visiting with friends and they all seem as excited as I am to be there. My results were better than I imagined and I highly recommend Dr. Schaffer for any cosmetic surgery. I am also having laser hair removal done by Victoria which I receive at a discounted rate due to having my breast augmentation done there.

I had searched all over Tx, and Oklahoma looking for a Dr. I know a lot of girls who have been to different doctors. But the one who stood out the most was Dr. Schaffer. I wanted to go under my arm and not my boob. I didn't want a big scar under my boob. I went for a consultation and was very impressed with him and his staff. I am 5'8 and 150lbs with wide shoulders so I wanted to go big. We talked about doing 700-750cc. I asked him before surgery to use his expert opinion while I was on the table to add as much cc as he thought I needed for the look I wanted. Very happy with his opinion he went for 775cc. I'm not a petite woman so they look very nice on my body type. He was very professional as well as his staff. It's been 13 days since my surgery and I'm doing well and very happy. A little tender under the arm but its to be expected with the amount off cc's we used. Surgery went well. I would recommend him to anyone, and if I wanted any other plastic surgery he will be my first call. Thank you so much Dr. Schaffer and your staff for everything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------During my initial consultation with Dr. Schaffer he immediately made me feel comfortable enough to ask him all the questions that I desired. He went into deep detail about the procedure and made sure to cover all the basics. This made me feel confident in his ability to give me the desired look I was aiming for. I could not be happier with the results and couldnt thank Dr. Schaffer and his staff enough

After doing extensive research meeting with 3 other surgeons I decided to go with Dr. Schaffer! What an amazing Dr. and Staff. They were welcoming from the moment I came into the office. I never felt rushed. He answered all my questions and even though I knew about my procedure he explained how he would do everything. After surgery I looked amazing.Still do! My incision is very low and is covered my bikini. He does the BEST belly buttons. It's cute, the right size for my body and where it suppose to be! SO CUTE! Many people can't even tell I had a tummy tuck and that's the point. If I would consider any other surgery in the future I would go to Dr. Schaffer without thinking twice. His office manager was helpful and super sweet! You don't feel like just another patient with them! They remember your name and it's amazing! Thank your Dr. Schaffer and Staff for the amazing work you did. You brought me back to life!

I have done much research in finding the right surgeon for my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I feel that there needed to be the right balance of respect, professionalism, knowledge, skill and personal connection between myself, the doctor and his staff. Dr. Schaffers staff is the hub of his office. They made me feel comfortable and welcome. They are also extremely knowledgeable in the office operations and hospital policies as well as pre and post op information. Dr. Schaffers documented accolades that hang in his office are certainly impressive, but do not do him justice when you meet with him in person. He is extremely professional. He listens carefully to what youd like to achieve and based on his complete assessment of your body and your goals, will give you his best recommendation. Dr. Schaffer is a perfectionist. He is meticulous in his work and will not rush your procedure because his scheduled time in the operating room will end soon. This was one of the most important things that I was looking for in a doctor. I felt that because I was investing a lot of money and time, the procedures needed to be done right. Needless to say, I am very happy with the end results. I truly feel that I made the right choice with Dr. Schaffer and his staff. If you are seeking a doctor with a staff who is professional, respectful, knowledgeable and highly skilled, I would highly recommend that you make an appointment to see Dr. Schaffer. I promise you, you will not regret it.

I couldn't have selected a better doctor for my surgery! He doesn't suffer from the god-complex that so many drs. have and he will never make you feel as if he's rushing onto his next patient. His credentials are amazing and his office staff is warm and personable. Free consultation and very affordable cost. With his training and experience, I fully expected his costs to be higher than the state avg. They are in line with everyone else.

After 3 consultations with plastic surgeons in San Antonio I ran into a friend that had gone to Dr Schaffer for a tummy tuck. She gave me nothing but awesome things to say about him so I made an appointmet for a consultation. After going to 3 previous consultations with doctors who spent maybe 15 min. with me before ushering me out to see the next patient I was stunned that Dr Schaffer spent over an hour with my husband and I going over what to expect and giving me details that the other doctors did not. When we left we were not pressured into scheduling surgery, something that was done elsewhere. The office staff was so polite and nice I left with a great feeling. I am currently 1 month and 1 week post op from my tummy tuck and I couldnt be happier with my result! The great thing is that its only going to get better with time. I have 2 children and had quite a bit of skin and fat that nothing was going to get rid of. Even at my first post op appointment to have my dressings removed I thought "is this me?!" I am so pleased and happy I just cant say enough about Dr Schaffer and his staff. After going back and forth for years I finally did it. Every day I look better and better. I am so happy that I no longer have to agonize over clothes that will cover my loose stomache and wearing 2 (yes 2)panty girdles all the time!

I wanted and needed to have my old (1983) breast implants removed an replaced. They had become so hard and mis-shapen that I was embarrassed to be seen, even by my husband, unless fully covered. Because of the protusions and bumps, all of my clothes, including my swimsuits, had high necklines. I began researching plastic surgeons. I found a few that looked promising but after interviewing the surgeons office managers, I didnt feel fully confident in the surgeons. I continued researching and found that Texas Monthly Magazine had honored Dr. Schaffer as a Texas Super Doctor. As I read about Dr. Schaffer I felt like he was the one. I then did a bit more research and found only favorable reports. I spoke with Debbie, Dr. Schaffers office manager, a few days later. She was incredibly warm, caring, and professional; I felt completely comfortable and confident with her. I scheduled an appointment for a consult and to interview Dr. Schaffer. At my appointment, Dr. Schaffer was very sincere and addresed my surgery needs. He took the time to explain the procedures in detail. Dr. Schaffer wanted to hear all of my questions and concerns, so that he could speak to each and every one.The entire staff made sure I was comfortable throughout my procedure and my healing. If I had any questions, there was always someone available to answer them. Never once did I feel like I was simply just another patient. The entire staff is very professional and caring and I could not have asked for anything more. I am extremely pleased with the results from my surgery. I am no longer embarrassed; I can wear whatever I want and know I look great! On a side note, I drive a total of 5 to 6 hours (depending upon traffic) for my appointments with Dr. Schaffer. He is worth every moment on the road!Thank you Dr. Schaffer!

I came to Dr. Schaffer for replacement of my ruptured silicone implants that were over 20 years old. I was recommended to Dr. Schaffer by a well respected family physician in San Antonio. I did my research on Dr. Schaffer to make sure he was board certified and that he was experienced. After a thorough consultation, I decided to switch to saline implants since they were very soft and natural looking. Although the surgery took longer than anticipated it was because Dr. Schaffer is so particular and meticulous in his work. He strives for perfection and I appreciate how hard he worked on me to give me the best result possible, beautiful, natural breasts. I would like to mention how gentle, and kind his nurse Nancy is and how comfortable she made me feel. I would highly recommend Dr. Schaffer to anyone who asks. He is the best!!!

Dr. Schaffer was wonderful. He replaced a ruptured implant and corrected the placement that the previous doctor had done wrong to begin with. I wish that I had seen Dr. Schaffer to begin with. He was very caring and did a wonderful job in matching my other breast.

I received a breast augmentation from Dr. Schaffer and I am very pleased with the results. They look very natural and I didn't have to wear a special bra or drainage tubes. These are hallmarks of a properly done augmentation and I wouldn't hesitate to have another procedure performed by Dr. Schaffer.
