First encounter was through Lifestyle Lifts. Shortly afterwards went to his private practice to have my earlobe repaired...pierced hole had ripped through over time. I questioned him about the Lifestyle Lift outcome on my neck. He said it had to be redone because it didn't work. The sutures did not hold. He said there would be no cost. I had it redone. ..the 2 muscles are sutured together to correct the 2 "ropes" that run down the neck in mature people. well, the 2nd procedure didn't last longer than 6 months either. Didn't go back because by that time the repair on my ear lobes was becoming "undone". A friend if mine had eyelid surgery and was complaining that one of her lids was drooping after less than a year. Turns out Dr. schaeffer was her surgeon, too. eBased on my experience, I wouldn't recommend him to my friends or family who want to get any form of plastic surgery done. As an aside, don't waste your money on the Lifestle Lift procedure. It doesn't last very long . Read the reviews
