I have had an up and down relationship with my nose since I can remember. When I was younger, I truly disliked everything about it—my dorsal hump, my droopy tip, my larger nostrils; I really couldn’t feel anything positive when I looked at myself. I was set on getting a rhinoplasty when I could afford it.
As I got older, although my insecurities still persisted—though less, I struggled with the decision to execute on the procedure. I continuously debated what was the right decision. If I didn’t get it done, would I continue to feel uncomfortable in my body the rest of my life? If I did get it done, what would I say to my kids if they were born with my original nose? After several years of this and continuing to live feeling uncomfortable in my body, I came to the decision to move forward with a tip plasty. I wanted to preserve the natural integrity of my larger nose by keeping my dorsal hump and only having my tip slightly modified. However, finding a surgeon who would agree to this was more challenging than I thought it would be. Three of them told me they would not do it—saying my nose would not be harmonious or “rhinoplasty” approved.
Enter Dr. Shah.
He listened to my concerns. He did not shut down the idea of changing my nose in a way that I was seeking, even if it would not look like a typical rhinoplasty result. And that is what he did. He completed my tip plasty—slightly shortened my nose length, elevated my tip slightly, reduced the size of my nostrils, and did slight rasping. It was exactly what I was hoping for. My nose is still bigger and “imperfect” (not the “Barbie nose”), but I feel 100x more comfortable in my body. Something that everyone deserves to feel.
I also should mention that he and his team are amazing! They were so informative and helpful on all parts of the procedure and recovery process. I am very grateful to them and highly recommend their services.
