“Surgery This Friday – So I’ve always been self-conscious of my nose. From the front, it’s perfect. Nice and straight, if a little short for my taste it still fits and looks great. From the side? I look like a rat. I used to get teased about it when I was younger and I’ve always hated my profile.

“Surgery This Friday – So I’ve always been self-conscious of my nose. From the front, it’s perfect. Nice and straight, if a little short for my taste it still fits and looks great. From the side? I look like a rat. I used to get teased about it when I was younger and I’ve always hated my profile. I hide behind my hair, and find it awkward when someone sits next to me, as I know they’re going to look over and see my nose. I mean, it doesn’t consume every waking hour, but it’s like having a low-level hangover where you just don’t feel great, and when it comes to your attention you realize how shitty you really feel. So I decided to finally do something about it. I booked an appointment (about a month out as he’s busy) and went to see the doc. He looked at my nose and didn’t make me feel bad about wanting it to look better. He’s extremely intelligent, really knows his stuff, and will readily tell you in detail about anything you ask about. I love that about him 🙂 He gave me some after images of what he thought would work best, and I almost cried. I mean, I was imagining how I’ll feel when I’m walking past people and how I’ll not be embarrassed by my profile (hide behind my hair, turn my head to the side). I was imagining being able to have a short haircut and not have that insecure feeling in the back of my mind. I know, it sounds really silly but I’m sure if you’re reading this you understand. I’ll never have that perfect movie star profile, but it’ll be perfect for me! So my surgery is Friday. I’ve already started taking the pre-op vitamins and arnica etc. and bought food for a week so hopefully I won’t have to go out and scare little kids with my bandages and bruises. Of course if anyone asks I’ll tell them they should see the other guy! I’ll post pics along the way, and update my review as things happen. Like, I can’t comment on after-care as it hasn’t happened yet! I’m super happy to have this done, and while I’m very excited that I’ll be able to breathe better, I’m even more excited thinking about my new profile 🙂 Oh and I do know that sleeping sitting up is going to SUCK! But I also know that I’m going to do whatever the doc says to do. I have TWO humidifiers and they’ll be going full time. No showering is going to suck as well. But if he told me I’d have to sleep upside down on an anthill full of wasps to get the best results I would. Please don’t ask why the anthill is full of wasps…”
“Amazing Rhinoplasty/Septoplasty Experience – I visited with Dr. Shah back in May for a consultation on rhinoplasty. This is something I’ve looked into for years and finally discovered a fantastic surgeon one state over from me. Upon meeting with Dr. Shah, I knew he would be the perfect surgeon to work on me. He has such an upbeat attitude and he’s incredibly informative, so I booked an appointment with him for December when I would be on…”

He has such an upbeat attitude and he’s incredibly informative, so I booked an appointment with him for December when I would be on break from school.Fast forward to now, I had my surgery at the Renewal Center in Lone Tree, CO with Dr. Shah on the 23rd of December and let me tell you it went swimmingly. At my pre-op appointment just two weeks prior, he provided me with numerous supplements to help with the healing process, detailed instructions, medication for after, and answered more of my questions. On the day of my surgery, he again answered more of my questions and was very thorough about what he would be doing in surgery. His entire team that he worked with that day were also just as amazing. The surgery went quickly and exceedingly well. I return to Dr. Shah’s office next week to remove the splints in my nostrils, the sutures, and splint over my nose. Currently, I have such minimal bruising I think in part due to some of the supplements he had me taking leading up to the surgery and now. He did have to preform an osteotomy on me, remove part of my septum to straighten it out, and configure the cartilage in my bulbous tip. I’m just in complete awe with how quickly the surgery went and how great I am feeling now. I know, too, that I may contact him with any questions or needs up until I see him next. All in all I am ecstatic to see what magic he’s worked on my nose once I get the splints removed and in the coming months! I’ll be happy to post numerous photos of the healing process as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Shah to my family and friends because I know he is not only a skillful surgeon but also a wonderfully upbeat doctor that is bound to make any patient comfortable.”

Dr Shah is amazing! I wanted a tip-plasty because as I aged, the tip of my nose started to droop, especially when I smiled. I received consultations from other plastic surgeons and I thought their plan of action was too aggressive (bone work I didn’t believe was necessary) for what I was trying to achieve and incredibly unaffordable. Dr. Shah offered me the results I was looking and it was less invasive, closer to my budget and I had very minimal downtime. I’m so happy I found him. I still look like me and my nose looks like my nose, but way better!
My experience with Dr. Shah and his team has great. The whole team makes you feel comfortable with absolutely no pressure, walks through all aspects of the procedure (including the expected benefits and overall timeline), and answers any and all questions. They really are a great team and Dr. Shah is so talented – I could not be more happy with my results.
