Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Adam Schaffner
Sourced directly from Dr. Adam Schaffner's social posts and replies.
Why does Dr. Schaffner use before and after photos?
Before and after photos from patients are helpful for new patients to understand what different procedures fix and to get a preview of what they are signing up for.
What is Dr. Schaffner's policy on patient before and after photos?
The practice never uses or posts any before and after photos without obtaining explicit patient consent.
Does Dr. Schaffner offer consultations for injectables?
Yes, the practice offers consultations for individuals interested in learning more about injectables.
What are Dr. Schaffner's recommendations for patient expectations and using inspiration photos?
Patients should maintain realistic expectations during consultations. While doctors can achieve significant improvements, they cannot perform magical transformations or change a patient into a different person. If presenting an inspiration photo of an actress or model, the doctor aims to improve your appearance to be a better, personalized version of yourself, rather than an exact replica. Inspiration photos are an effective tool for communicating your desired aesthetic goals, and the practice aims to deliver personalized results that enhance individual appearance.
What options are available for patients with existing breast implants?
Patients with existing breast implants may opt to exchange them for smaller implants or remove them entirely and use fat grafting to restore volume.
What is Alakle and how does Dr. Schaffner use it?
Alakle is an off-the-shelf fat scaffold that can be utilized for fat grafting when a patient does not have enough autologous fat. Dr. Schaffner's practice was one of the first in New York City to offer Alakle and has achieved great success using it for procedures involving the breast, buttocks, and hip dips.
How does Dr. Schaffner manage and treat scars?
Dr. Schaffner understands that nervousness about scarring is normal, as incisions are often necessary for surgical outcomes. The practice is trained to thoughtfully place, hide, and treat scars, aiming for them to fade into a 'barely-there appearance' over time. In the operating room, techniques include minimizing tension, sealing incisions when applicable, and reducing post-operative trauma. During recovery, topical products, lasers, and occasional steroid injections may be recommended to further improve scar appearance.
What is Dr. Schaffner's approach to temple rejuvenation?
Dr. Schaffner considers temple volume loss one of the most overlooked signs of aging, comparable to hip dips, leading to a hollow or sunken appearance. He believes temple filling with filler or fat transfer is an underrated, non-surgical procedure that can help restore balance, soften shadows, and create a naturally refreshed, younger appearance. The goal is to restore volume, not to inflate, and it's recommended before summer photos and vacation season.

Many emphasize the natural-looking results, minimal discomfort during procedures, and smooth recovery process. Overall, patients express increased confidence and satisfaction with their outcomes.
What areas of care does Dr. Adam Schaffner cater to?
Dr. Schaffner specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery, focusing on procedures for the face, breast, and body. This includes breast augmentation and revision, eyelid surgery, Brazilian butt lifts, liposuction (including Lipo 360), lipedema surgery, and other aesthetic enhancements. Dr. Schaffner observes a trend of patients requesting smaller breast implants. In procedures, he places incisions in discreet areas such as the pubic region, belly button, armpit crease, and buttock crease. The practice utilizes various cannulas, including curved, straight, and dermal-protective ones that avoid suctioning towards the undersurface of the skin to minimize irregularities. Energy-based devices like ultrasound and radiofrequency (e.g., Vaser, BodyTite, J-Plasma Renuvion) are also employed to help with tissue tightness.
