Summary: Based on my experience, I strongly regret getting…read moremy rhinoplasty here. Communication before and after surgery was poor, the final result does not match what was discussed, and the procedure cost around $30,000. PHOTO GALLERY: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iMsd84WbOy8EymMfQiYh-_IBYtQXtXDo The photos included show: pre-surgery the sketch he sent me of an ideal result. This is the black and white sketch the outcome I requested. In this photo, I am facing right with a morphed upturned nose. 7 months post-surgery. This is the photo where I am facing left, with a non upturned nose. Full experience: Before surgery, I was concerned about a droopy tip and a bump (shown in photos). During a video consultation, I showed a simple photo morph and clearly stated my goal: to raise the tip and flatten the columella so the nose base would be visible from the front. I left the consultation believing these goals would be addressed. Furthermore, he sent me a sketch of what the goal was for my nose to look like, and it aligned with what I asked for. At the pre-operative follow-up, I again described exactly what I wanted. I was interrupted and reassured that it was understood. I proceeded with surgery and full payment. At cast removal a few weeks later, my nose was extremely swollen and appeared largely unchanged, with the tip at approximately the same height as before. I asked whether swelling was affecting the tip position. At that appointment, the surgeon told me that while swelling would decrease, the tip would not be raised further because he felt a higher tip would look worse and "too feminine." This was the first time I was told that my stated goal would not be carried out. Had this been communicated before surgery, I would not have proceeded. Several months later, I contacted him to ask about healing and possible revision options. I did not receive a response for two days When compared side-by-side, the result is not close to what was discussed or shown in my reference images. The columella and tip position appear minimally changed. Based on the outcome, the communication, and the cost, I cannot recommend this practice. This review reflects my personal experience and opinions.

I can't imagine having a better plastic surgery experience than the experience I had with Dr. W and…read morehis team. I am now one-year post op after primary rhinoplasty (open) and neck lipo. I quickly forgot about my old nose and double chin. Those only exist in the horrific photos I sometimes come across and that is the only place they belong. So I'm going to break this review down into categories, so that it is easy for you to locate the part that is important to your search: 1. Results: - Very natural, essentially undetectable by a third party, but seriously impactful for me (in a positive way). My face has softened, feminized, and I no longer obsess over my nose on work calls. The feeling of disgust I felt every time I looked at myself in the mirror throughout the last few years has disappeared. There really isn't a price tag for that. Just going about your day NOT thinking about your nose.. imagine that! Even members of my family don't notice a thing. The kind of thing I hear often is: " you look younger somehow!". I"ll take that compliment any day! 2. Why Dr. Weintraub: - Other than the obvious - decades of experience, beautiful real patient post-op-photos , and elite credentials including industry groups like the Rhinoplasty Society (look it up), what struck me was that he immediately noticed what was RIGHT about my face, not just what needed improvement. I consulted with only the top rhinoplasty specialists in NYC and I am confident they all would have done a great job, but I couldn't shake the feeling of :"He's the one. I want him to operate in the center of my face." because I knew he actually really noticed my natural beauty and he would work to highlight that. Also - his patient results all truly looked unique. He didn't have a "style", which even the top NYC rhinoplasty surgeons have (you can always tell they add their own personal touch and you notice the pattern if you look at enough photos). Dr. W had no style - everyone looked like a hotter version of themselves, which is what I wanted for my look. I wanted no part of looking mass produced. 3. Experience: super smooth, easy and pain free recovery. I was back to normal in two days. Obsessing over my healing ups and downs was the hardest part, but Dr. W was there with me every step of the way, responding to my obsessive text messages promptly and answering all my questions. 4. His team: excellent - efficient, courteous, and all around treat you like royalty. Everyone from the administrative staff (Jill, Nicole, Justin) to the nurses, surgical assistants, and the anesthesiologist - everyone brought their A game to work. 5. I also really respect Dr. W's long term thinking ethos. He gave me advice regarding my neck/chin area that was very different from the advice I got from other surgeons, but it made a lot of sense to me, so I went with his (less is more) approach, so that in the event I wanted work done at some point later in life (and let's be honest, I'll be getting a facelift when I'm in my mid-60s), so that I would have the best outcome. In summary: I look like a younger, fresher, more feminine version of myself. My own parents, who were terrified about the whole thing, are thrilled that I still look like their daughter.

I underwent my initial gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Weintraub. He claims to employ a unique…read more"basket" cannula to excise firm gland tissue without cutting the nipple, instead accessing it through the armpit. However, I am here to inform anyone who is apprehensive about scars, hesitant to travel, or facing any other concerns that if you opt for a surgeon like this, you will only receive liposuction, contrary to what you were assured. In my case, the results of liposuction alone were aesthetically inferior to my previous appearance. In stark contrast to what Dr. Weintraub promised and what he advertises on Instagram, he did not remove ANY gland tissue. A different surgeon recently removed gland from me and verified it with photos. The second surgeon confirmed that I had previously undergone liposuction alone. Worse, even the lipo only procedure that Dr. Weintraub performed was uneven, removing way more from one side. I'm still dealing with the asymmetries. For this he charged me over $13,000. I believe there's only one reliable way to remove gland, and that's through the areola. I now understand that a skilled surgeon can minimize scars and can prevent cratering. Don't let an unscrupulous surgeon play on your fears.

I recently went to Dr. Schaffner for a complete revision of a surgery I had about 11 years ago. My…read moresituation is that I had implants put in that I was not happy with because not only were they bigger than I'd wanted but also a noticeable difference in size between the two. I'd spent about 2 years researching the different surgeons in NYC and was just so confused at who to choose because I really was worried the surgery wouldn't be what I'd wanted and it's a big decision to take lightly. Dr Schaffner was referred to me and from the first visit, I was completely at ease. He explained everything thoroughly (maybe a bit too much but better to over explain things) and showed what went wrong and how it went wrong with my first surgery. He also showed how he could fix it but did explain that it wouldn't be perfect. I had realistic expectations so pretty easy going with moving forward. I wanted to go smaller but he explained that he could do whatever I wanted, but I had to determine if I wanted much smaller or smaller and more full because it would be impossible to do both and I'm glad he told me that upfront instead of all the other surgeons saying "sure" and then not being able to do it because your skin can only do so much. Skipping ahead to day of the surgery: I was really nervous. I basically had 2 surgeons working together (one from another country and dr schaffner who spent a decent amount of time with the game plan of how to best proceed with other physician), along with an awesome anesthesiologist and nurse (who was literally a life saver because she really helped me relax). I'm not sure why I was so scared but next thing I knew, I woke up and felt no pain. Day 3, the bandages are off and I'm so happy with results. I know I am still swollen but I'm already stoked with the results. Side note: he gave me his cell phone before surgery and responded to all my questions right before surgery (over the weekend). He had already answered them but I kind of needed reassurance several times and he never made me feel like I was bothering him or wasting his time.

This review is based solely based off a consultation that I had with Dr. Adam Schaffner and the…read morehorrible office experience that I had. I was inquiring about getting a breast implant exchange with a possible breast lift. I was looking for someone who prioritizes on safety. Someone referred me to Dr. Adam Schaeffner, they stated that he was triple board certified. I looked him up and booked the consultation. The consultation fee was $250. At first, I was impressed because he answered the contact number after business hours instead of an answering service. He explained to me that I would be receiving a form from him shortly and he would need me to fill this out so that he can get some information about me. Prior to arriving at his office, I received a call from his patient care coordinator Christina, telling me to make sure I pay the consultation fee of $250 or else I will not be seen. I thought that was weird because I am well aware that this fee has to be paid prior to visiting with the surgeon. When I went to see Dr. Schaeffner I thought he was professional at first, he asked me questions regarding my past medical history. He asked that I bring my mammogram during this visit along with my implant product code. I asked numerous questions and I felt like some of his answers did not satisfy my needs. For example, I asked him about the demographics of his patients. This was important to me because I am Carribean American and a lot of doctors assume we want a certain look without really knowing our aesthetic. Also, statistically, research has shown that our requests are often ignored. It was important that I explained the aesthetic that I wanted to achieve. Of course his response was that he finds that a lot of black women want large breasts and large rear ends. His presumptuous statement turned me completely off,I corrected him and informed him that that wasn't the aesthetic that I was looking for. I explained to him that I wanted a more refined waist line where my love handles can be addressed with lipo and I wanted a breast implant exchange with a lift (I'm 5'3 and my measurements was 36-31-44. I weight 165 at the time of my visit.) He then asked my permission to take pictures of my breast. This is where things went sideways, he touched my belly and told me to cough and proceeded to tell me that I have a small diastasis recti and that I needed a tummy tuck in order to tighten my stomach muscles. Keep in mind, I had two prior consultations and was never told this. After I got dressed I asked him the fees for the surgery and I asked him for a quote for this tummy tuck that he suggested. He was stammering and stated that there are numerous fees and because I hadn't exactly decided what I wanted he was unable to give me a quote. So then I asked a direct quote for a breast implant exchange, with a breast lift and a tummy tuck. He then proceeded to tell me to speak with his patient coordinator Christina, and left me in the room with her. When I directed the question to her, she was stammering as well and was hesitant to provide me with the quote. This was a bit weird to me because I've gone on two prior consultations and received a quote. When I asked to speak to Dr. Schaeffer again, all of a sudden he was "unavailable"and when I asked how long will he be unavailable for, I was told he is now on a phone conference. I waited a bit and when I asked Christina again for a quote, I was told that she needed permission first before giving me a price. Since I didn't get the quote like I usually do in person, I asked her to email me the quote. The duration of the consultation was literally 10 minutes....my two previous consults were 30-45 minutes, both surgeons were attentive, they answered all my questions, and I left with an itemized quote. When Christina finally emailed me the quote there was just one lump sum, nothing was itemized which makes me believe that this surgeon customizes prices for his customers. Needless to say, I went on real self and saw his before and afters and was appalled. I'm not sure why I didn't check real self prior to booking my consult, I definitely would not have wasted my time. For one, there was not a big change from the before and afters, I actually think a lot of his patients looked botched. He also did not have a broad demographic of patients. My advice to anyone looking to have plastic surgery...first check out real self and look at the pictures to see if the doctor fits your aesthetics, see if they perform surgery on people of your demographic, go to a doctor that does not rush you out their office to make a quick $250 to cover their rent on 5th Avenue. Always schedule multiple consultations and listen carefully to what these doctors are telling you. Lastly, get a referral from someone who personally got surgery from your doctor.

To review her, I have to give you a short summary of her husband's procedures. He is an old man. He botched rhinoplasties on men and women. including me. He used outdated methods in surgery, and refused to revise any of the botched rhinoplasties. Upon calling their shared office for reimbursement, Janice always took the call. She even taped my conversations with her each time I called the office. The most heartbreaking of the conversations was between Janice and a very sad young woman who desperately wanted the doctor to perform revision surgery on her nose. Janice's cold, cruel reaction was too much for the woman. She committed suicide. Janice knows the damage her husband inflicted on people; yet, she didn't have the decency to make him stop. Anyone with morals and a conscience should stay as far away from her greed as possible. All that we women are tirelessly trying to achieve, she crushes it. There are so many estheticians in Manhattan. Please choose someone other than Janice Pastorek.

From the initial conversation/consultation to surgery, the entire process was quick and easy, and the entire staff is amazing (Patty and Tiff make you feel like you're in good hands). Dr. Danovich and her PA Dr. Moore are personable, honest, professional, knowledgeable, and make you feel at ease from start to finish. They are also so incredibly easy to reach (and many times after hours) and so quick to respond during the entire process, which is great for any last-minute post-op questions/concerns; they are great with communication!
