Dr. Schaeffer has been at the forefront of minimally invasive procedures in sinus, skull base and facial plastic surgery by utilizing new technology and techniques. He was a principal investigator for an in office balloon endoscopic sinus procedure to drain sinuses, has utilized endoscopic 3D technology for skull base tumors in pediatric and adult patients and utilizes his technique of "Endoscopic Liposhaving" to recontour necks for youthfulness and removal of fatty tumors.
