I just don't understand why there are not many reviews on Dr. Shuffett and his amazing staff?! I was on a mission, I'm 47 and started over the past couple of years to notice the tired look in my eyes and sagging skin at my cheeks and jawline, and now even my neck! NOOO! I literally spent months going to consults with many surgeons. I did tons of research on all the different procedures each surgeon suggested, (just a warning if your about to embark on this journey, there are many different approaches and you will get tons of different opinions from each Dr.) I met Surgeons who wanted to do too much (chin implant, brow lifts...) really up sell. others I just didn't really feel comfortable with to no fault of their own. One was just plane rude and his approach would have made me look really over done. It took me 6 weeks to get in for a consult to see Dr. Shuffett, but I was in no rush and had plenty to see in the mean time. The 6th surgeon I saw, I was set on, he was the guy, I really like his approach and his work was beautiful, and he had come highly recommended but I told him I had 1 last consult I was going to follow through with, I'd waited 6 weeks I wanted to do all my homework. I met with Dr. Shuffett and his nurse/assistant, Jennifer:) and I KNEW he was the one! He was very similar in his approach as the Dr. I had chosen just a few weeks before, but he has a few years more experience, has his own surgical center right in his office, did not need me to go under general anesthesia, only light sedation (Done by a dr. of anesthesiology who has been with him for 14 years) with nerve blocking injections, and my friend and family could drive right up to the back covered parking lot after surgery and simply walk me out the back door to take me home after. He was extremely up to date, is so passionate about his work and continues to educate himself on any new advances in his field. He is very professional and I am 10 days post op and I am looking better every day. I love what I am seeing, beautiful subtle natural changes as the swelling goes down. I also had almost ZERO pain while recovering at home. Yes it's major surgery, there is some discomfort and bruising, but SO minimal!! They have you go in the day after your surgery to make sure all is well. (Oh and no drains! I have heard they are very painful to remove and Dr. Shuffet says they can cause infection in some cases) Then again in 3 days to have the sutures from my upper and lower eyes removes, then again on day 7 to remove any remaining sutures/staples in scalp lines etc. Jennifer also calls to check in and they insist you only call them no matter what time or how trivial you may think your question may be to ask any questions at all. They really make themselves available. Also, they take pictures of the surgery throughout to keep on file and he does a 4 page report of every detail of your surgery to keep in your records after your surgery. He will even let you see the operation photos if you have the stomach for it! I saw a few, but as interesting as they were I'm too much of a wimp! ha ha! But he allowed my friends to look and they were so impressed. He also helped me not feel so embarrassed when I got light headed when they took my sutures out by telling me funny stories of other patients who could barely even walk in the front door with out passing out from anxiety!! And Jennifer always got a bottle of room temp water and a cold towel to help relax me. They have me scheduled for another check up again in 4 weeks so they really keep close watch on your progress.
Well as you can see I can't recommend Dr. Shuffett and his team enough and am so excited about taking my new and improved me out and about again!! If your thinking of having any work done, Go see this team!! read more
