Amazing 24-Hour Recovery Breast Augmentation!
LOCAL PLASTIC SURGEON NOW OFFERING
24-HOUR RAPID RECOVERY PROGRAM FOR BREAST AUGMENTATION
Busy Women Can Now Achieve Breast Augmentation with Minimal Down-Time
Thanks to local plastic surgeon Christopher J. Schaffer M.D. of the Vein Center of Tampa Bay and the “Rapid Recovery” breast augmentation technique he practices, women can now plan for breast augmentation surgery with a recovery period of just 24 hours.
With work and family commitments often dominating their schedules these days, most women put themselves last and do not have time for a week of downtime. However, with Rapid Recovery breast augmentation, women do not have to worry about being away from their responsibilities for too long. Dr. Schaffer says the “Rapid Recovery Program” will ultimately become the standard of care for breast augmentation post-operative care because when women learn that they can feel great one day after their surgery, they will accept nothing less. Read his amazing patient testimonials!
Rapid Recovery is designed to shorten the normal recovery period of three to four days to only 24 hours. To help ensure a rapid and smooth recovery, Dr. Schaffer uses advanced techniques during surgery, recommends non-narcotic pain relievers, minimizes dressings and guides patients with early post-operative motion and exercises. This spares the patient days to weeks of chest pain and rib soreness, bulky, cumbersome dressings, and the groggy, fuzzy hangover that often accompanies narcotic pain medicine. In fact, patients are encouraged to go “out for dinner” the night of surgery and many do so with little to no discomfort!
Dr. Schaffer has been practicing this revolutionary concept since March of 2006 with remarkable results and incredible response from his patients. He recently joined the team at the Vein Center of Tampa Bay where he will continue to incorporate this technique. He is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

With work and family commitments often dominating their schedules these days, most women put themselves last and do not have time for a week of downtime. However, with Dr. Schaffer doing the Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation, women do not have to worry about being away from their responsibilities for too long. Dr. Schaffer says the “Rapid Recovery Program” will ultimately become the standard of care for breast augmentation post-operative care because when women learn that they can feel great one day after their surgery, they will accept nothing less.
The “Rapid Recovery Program” combines gentle surgical techniques, early post-operative motion and exercises, and non-narcotic pain relievers that can allow patients undergoing breast augmentation to feel “fully recovered” in 24 hours rather than the normal 3-to-4 day recovery period. This spares the patient days to weeks of chest pain and rib soreness, bulky, cumbersome dressings, and the groggy, fuzzy hangover that often accompanies narcotic pain medicine. In fact, patients are encouraged to go “out for dinner” the night of surgery and many do so with little to no discomfort. Read these exciting testimonials from his patients!

Dermal Fillers Tampa Bay St. Petersburg Florida (FL) Video Testimonial
Well Kristen Walsh is a good friend of mine and she was telling me about some of the procedures that she does here. I am very skeptical of any type of alterations, but I thought I would come and give it a try and that was about maybe two years ago and I fell in love with this place. I have lived in New York. I have lived in Los Angeles. I went to many other different or similar type places. It was always very uncomfortable, you were not quite sure, but very laid back attitude. They are very professional, experts at what they do, and I am coming back Monday morning as a matter of fact to get a couple of little extra things done. With Dr. Hunt, he took the lines here which is what I am having done again on Monday about 18 months ago to get rid of some of the lines. I am 50 years old and fighting it every step of the way because I do not feel 50 so I do not want to look 50, and very simple procedure, not painful at all. I got a little bit of numbing, some injections here and I massaged it a couple of times a day for a couple of weeks and that was it. It was really not a big deal and people would tell me, “You look great! You know, “Did you go on vacation?” – my little secret.
Vein Removal Procedures-Treating Varicose Veins
For 16 years we have had innovative varicose vein treatments by using ultrasound guided sclerotherapy. For years, we started turning the liquid into a microfilm solution, which works better yet puts less solution into your system. We do this with a three-person approach; ultrasound tech, nurse and myself, the physician. Typical treatment involves three or four microinjections under ultrasound guidance that only takes four minutes. We put support stocking on the patient and they can go exercise right after the procedure. This is in contrast to previous older generation surgical stripping procedures where people have lengthy recoveries. The other procedure we do for varicose veins is called endolaser. With this it is about a one-hour procedure. There is a tiny laser fiber that goes up through the inside of the vein and then underneath tumescent anesthesia and ultrasound guidance. The vessel is coagulated and disappears. With this again they wear support hose for two days and they can exercise that evening. So all of our varicose vein procedures are very complete compared to previous generation surgical procedures with very minimal discomfort and no downtime whatsoever.

Injectable Skin Treatment Tampa St. Petersburg Florida (FL) Video Patient Testimonial
I originally came because a friend of mine referred me here that she had some Botox done and I thought it looked great So I said, “well, I want to try it”. So I originally came for Botox® and I had the Botox® done around my eyes and my forehead and then my mother and my sisters they all said, “oh my god, your face looks so great”, you know so they came and they had it done. And then I came back and had some Fraxel® laser done with fine lines and little dark spots, you know, and then I had Silikon put in my lips. I had just a little line of lip that was it and I had the Silikon in and it was, Aah! It was great.

BOTOX Cosmetic Skin Filler Injections Tampa Florida (FL) Video Patient Story
Dr. Hunt made me feel relaxed. He tended to be more on the conservative side, some of the procedures I have had done have been Botox®. I have had some fillers, just a little bit on the top of the lip and then round the mouth and what made me very comfortable Dr. Hunt did the Botox®, Kristen did the fillers is that they both lean more towards being somewhat conservative which I like, and then you know, the end result being that it looks natural – that you are having a natural professional look. I am in sales, I also teach fitness. One of the things about fitness is there is lot of expression when you are teaching and so this is softened. I feel softened my look, and with sales it keeps me competitive and on the edge in the industry when most of the representatives are in the 25 to 35 range, I feel like it keeps me in the game.

Abnormal skin pigmentation, freckles or dyschromias or melasma or pregnancy. All these type of conditions can be attacked through a host of different procedures. We either can use prescription skin care products that will gradually over months make most of the pigmentation disappear or we can use Intense Pulsed Light, which blankets the face and breaks up the pigments so that it gets naturally absorbed and no longer appears or we can use the new fractional resurfacing lasers to go over the pigmentation. This also is FDA cleared clinical treatments that are good for melasma, pregnancy and other type of pigmentary dyschromias.
