Fly in Program

Today, more and more people travel from their hometowns for plastic surgery, and Manhattan is an ideal destination.  New York City is known to have the best of the best, including plastic surgery. With our Fly In program, you have the chance to recuperate in privacy, away from the stresses of your everyday life, in a city where activities of all kinds await you.

Moreover, when you travel to "The Capital of the World," you have the chance to work with Dr. Shafer, an experienced, Mayo Clinic-trained plastic surgeon. Many of his patients fly in for facelifts, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty & liposuction.

They appreciate his sensitivity to how patients feel about their bodies and they value his ability to tailor the procedure to each patient, including the minimal recovery Smartlipo laser liposuction.

Dr. Shafer offers a full cosmetic surgery menu in his Manhattan practice – facelift, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, liposuction and more.  Additionally, Dr. Shafer is a premiere Botox injector, having produced a recent DVD to instruct other doctors in his injection techniques.
