Choosing a plastic or cosmetic surgeon or center is a personal decision. Most people look for a surgeon who is highly educated and experienced and with whom they can relate. Someone they can absolutely trust. But what if the preferred surgeon is not located in their nearby community?

Dr. Schafer is a unique expert in the field of cosmetic surgery. Practicing for over 25 years and having taught at the university level proves his experience and expertise. But with Dr. Schafer, it doesn't stop there. Dr. Schafer has continued to study advancements with the world's most respected surgeons as well as pioneering many remarkable procedures himself. Dr. Schafer is committed to performing the highest-quality surgeries with the least amount of trauma to the patient. That means that patients get the results they want with faster healing times - letting them quickly return to their normal lives.

If you live outside of the San Diego area you can still have Dr. Schafer as your cosmetic surgeon by participating in the New Image Surgery Center's Flying in for Surgery program. People from any part of the world can fly into San Diego, stay in hotels conveniently located near the center, get door-to-door limousine service on the day of your surgery, have Dr. Schafer perform surgery and then have one-on-one after patient care and recuperate in Southern California until the follow up appointment.

Cosmetic Counselors Help You All the Way

At the New Image Cosmetic Surgery Center there are two Cosmetic Counselors available to help you arrange your Flying in for Surgery plans. From travel arrangements to hotel accommodations to online or over-the-phone consultations, the Cosmetic Counselors can help you plan and answer your questions as you prepare to travel to San Diego. However, if you are more comfortable making your own arrangements, that is fine, too.

Return Home as the New You

Your stay in San Diego will include several days after the surgery so that you can recuperate and then have a follow-up appointment with Dr. Schafer. San Diego is a sunny, vibrant and historical California city. Pacific beaches, Spanish landmarks, theatre, museums, shopping and public attractions make it a leading American vacation destination. You can relax in a beautiful setting after your surgery or leisurely take in the sites. New Image Cosmetic Surgery Center is only 10 minutes away from downtown San Diego as well as the airport. Once you have your final follow-up exam you'll be free to fly home to your friends and family as the new you. They don't need to know where you've been. Just tell them you found the fountain of youth.
