Patient Reviews

Incredibly Satisfied with Results. Excellent experience. Dr. Shaw is an expert in his field and his talents and skill set are outstanding. Highly recommend discussing your goals with him and hearing his realistic assessment of achievement.

Dr. Shah is fantastic. His skill, aesthetics and concern for patient care are amazing. As gender fluid person who is a working professional by day and club artist at night, he helped me develop a look that suits me while getting back years.

I admit, I was scared to get a facelift – I didn’t want to lose my look, just look better. And Oh my gosh – Dr. Shah Delivered! My results are beautiful, natural, and stunning! I am so pleased, if not amazed at what he did. And it was easy: Dr. Shah answered all my questions, listened to what I wanted, and gave me more than I expected. He is a true artist. I highly recommend Dr. Shah. You’ll look great!

About two months ago I had a deep plane face and neck lift with Dr. Shah. I did plenty of research before choosing him and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My facelift was actually a revision which adds to the difficulty because of old scar tissue, etc. I knew that Dr. Shah was very experienced in this and his confidence, expertise, and thorough explanations were very reassuring.

I am a physician myself and have spent years in the operating room so was very picky about who I chose. I also knew that Dr. Shah is excellent at doing this procedure with local anesthesia and oral sedation. (You can also have general anesthesia if preferred.) I chose the local because I don’t care for general anesthesia. It was a fantastic way to go! I remember absolutely nothing of the procedure and had an easy recovery postoperatively.

On top of all that his office and staff are wonderfully knowledgeable and supportive.

I recommend Dr. Shah wholeheartedly. My face and neck look better than I could have imagined and the results are perfectly natural so no one suspects that I had anything done- they just think I look great!

“100% trust – I have been happy after every visit – From mini facelift to fillers and beyond I have been 100% happy after every single visit to Dr Shah. I liked that he did my mini facelift under local anesthesia and sedatives but not general anesthesia. I had no pain!!!”

“Mini Face Lift With SMAS Lifting – gained confidence and feel a new burst of energy – Dr Shah performed my mini face lift with SMAS lifting 6 months ago and I am very happy with my beautiful natural result. I am 53 years old but I look like I did 10 years ago! I have gained confidence an feel a new burst of energy every time I see myself. It makes me smile a little more every day.I had 3 consultations with other surgeons and Dr Shah was my first choice because of his natural refreshed results and he made me feel like he genuinely cared. He is very knowledgeable, humble and kind. He explained the procedure and what my expectations should be. I felt comfortable and asked all my questions and concerns I had.My after care was exceptional. Dr Shah gave me his private cell phone number and I could call him anytime I needed to. I sent photos to Dr Shah’s office of myself during my recovery period as I felt a bit nervous and unsure if everything was going well and I would get a response back quickly reassuring me everything was healing as it should be. This bought me much comfort and I did not feel alone in my recovery period.His staff Uria and Tatiana were awesome , patient and always helpful towards me.I never write any reviews but I would like other ladies who are wanting to have facelift to have the same truly amazing experience with natural fantastic results.”

“Too Soon for a Facelift but I Needed a Lift… – I got DPO Threads done by Sarah several days ago and I couldn’t be happier. I burn through filler quickly and I believe I found a solution with threads. Considering how much money I was spending on filler it balances out. I really enjoyed my time with Sarah. She is skilled, makes sure you are comfortable, and just a fun person to talk to. I received a dental block and I didn’t feel any pain. The swelling where the needles were inserted were gone within an hour and I even stopped at a store on my drive home. I had slight bruising on day 2 that I could hide with makeup. My face is a little tender but it’s not like recovering from a surgery. Jowls were forming and now a I have a smooth jawline again. I am so happy with this procedure and what’s exciting is it will get better as time passes and more collagen builds from the threads. I highly recommend DPO Threads if you want a lift and refreshed look.”

“I had a mini facelift performed by DR Shah about a month ago and I am almost fully healed with just a little swelling. I had nothing but positive experiences at his office with him and all his employees. His assistant during the surgery was especially pleasant! Cannot wait to see the final results in the next 6 months!”

“Well over Due! – The best part is the exceptional care and compassion of Dr. Shah and his entire staff. Dr. Shah and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and so personable with exceptional listening skills. Throughout the years of going to Dr. Shah, I have yet to see exaggerated results that are unnatural. That is why I trusted him with the mini face lift.

“Well over Due! – The best part is the exceptional care and compassion of Dr. Shah and his entire staff. Dr. Shah and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and so personable with exceptional listening skills. Throughout the years of going to Dr. Shah, I have yet to see exaggerated results that are unnatural. That is why I trusted him with the mini face lift. After have injections for years, my age caught up and the only option for the jowls on caving cheeks, disappearing upper lip and turkey neck was a mini lift with fat injection. It has been three weeks since the procedure and I can see some of the improvement already even with the swelling. The bruising was minimal. One side of my face brusied more. The procedure went so smoothly and I loved that I remained awake. The pain was from the numbing injections, just like at the dentist. Afterwards the pain was very manageable. The instructions, vitamin regime and diet and exercise restrictions were clearly given and easy to follow. I am excited to see the final results! Updated on 23 Oct 2019: Posting my before pictures with the one month pictures. It’s amazing to see the improvement after just one month. I have some bruising and swelling so I can only image the improvement will be by the holidays. The fat transfer should be more noticible! The incisions are barely visible even though some of the stitches are still reamining. As with every visit, the staff is so friendly. And for Dr. Shah, what’s the saying “He’s the man!” …. that is what I say regarding Dr. Shah! Updated on 28 Jan 2020: It has been four months since the mini facelift procedure with fat transfer. I see a difference in the jawline but the rest of the face is not what I expected or hoped. I did not want to continue with fillers. Hopefully, at some point in time, the fat transfer starts to work.”

“Excellent dr. He repaired my face after a botched surgery – I love dr. Shah, he fixed me and I feel and look pretty now because of him. He repaired the damage done from a previous plastic surgeon.He is hones, cost conscientious, sincere and genuinely cared about me and my results. He made me not rush into anything and made me see him after the right time for him to be able to repair anything without harm. At my initial consult, he spent over an…”

“Dr Shah ‘s expertise with rhinoplasty was why I chose him. I am very happy with the results and they are continuing to improve monthly. I also had a face lift and that has proved to be life changing. The results have truly exceeded all of my expectations. I look and feel 10-15 years younger. I would highly recommend him. He is a gifted surgeon and also an extremely personable and caring man. He encouraged and welcomed my text messages whenever I had a concern or question about my after care. The entire staff was great with me, especially Brenda and Rebecca. They are both welcoming and kind, and I received excellent care and continuing support from them all.”

“Dr. Shah Made Me Feel & Look Younger – Denver, CO – I would tell you my age, but I don’t even know it! When I look in the mirror, I know I don’t look my age in real years. Dr. Shah has done several procedures on me over time. After watching tv programming, I realized that men are no longer afraid of doing a little nip or tuck. I want to look my best, so I was lucky enough to find Dr. Shah. He did a neck lift as well a face lift. The…”

“Dr. Shah is a physician artist – I live in northern Colorado and have been to a couple of plastic surgeons in my area. My first ps did my first BA in 1999 and the second BA for replacements 17 years later. I was never completely happy with either procedure/result.My second ps does my coolsculpt and botox, both very minor procedures. When I asked him about a lower facelift he said “too early for you, wait about 10 years” so I took my saggy jawline and baby jowls and got a second opinion from Dr. Shah after researching on Realself. So glad I did! Dr. Shah agreed with the other doc that my situation was not dire enough for a lower facelift but recommended lipo of the jawline and microneedling for mild wrinkles. The procedure was an hour and was a piece of cake. Recovery was a breeze, but my bruising was noticable. Glad I took two weeks off of work. I do still have a little numb and a little sore here and there. I am 4 weeks post and could not be happier. The entire experience is what good plastic surgery should be: comfortable, informed, and done by a master plastic surgeon!”

He wanted me to take a week off of work, but I was back after 3-4 days. I felt great. I constantly get comments on how great I look and no one can believe how old I actually am! I am now considering going back for a forehead lift to raise my brows. When you look good, you feel good! Age is just a number. I am forever young!And I would do it all again!”

“Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful. I have recommended him to others and will continue to recommend him. He is honest in his assessment, encourages questions, and does not assumes that surgery is always the best option. He is one of the few Doctors I have ever had, who gave me his personal cell phone number so that I could communicate directly with him when you have questions and concerns (he does this for all patients). I love my outcome, even several years later. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shah. He’s not only one of my Favorite docs, he’s also one of my favorite human beings.”

“Brow Lift, Plastic Surgery Review – Denver, CO – Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful. I have recommended him to others and will continue to recommend him. He is honest in his assessment, encourages questions, and does not assumes that surgery is always the best option. He is one of the few Doctors I have ever had, who gave me his personal cell phone number so that I could communicate directly with him when you have questions and concerns (he does this for all patients). In fact, because I could communicate with him, I asked him questions after an emergency orthopedic surgery I had because my surgeon was never available to talk to and when he did, never answered my questions thoroughly. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shah. He’s not only one of my Favorite docs, he’s also one of my favorite human beings. I have to say, I also feel the same way about his staff!”

“68 Years and a New Attitude – Denver, CO – So far they have been very friendly, cheerful and thoroughly informative. – – I am just one week away from having my procedure, an in-office face lift, with Dr Manish Shah. At 68 years old I am ready to have the jowls and double chin disappear to have a better profile and look a little better in the berets I have always liked to wear. Having provided after care for several of Dr Shah’s patients over the last couple of years I have seen great recoveries and feel comfortable with the process and easy access to him. I actually have been teasing him that I’ve wanted him to make me look like Cher, and although that won’t be the case I have a thrilled anticipation for the result. I am actually amazed at how calm I feel toward this because that has not been the usual mood when facing a surgery. It must be because it is elected? Maybe also because having a nutritional background I can see how his Rapid Recovery Protocol will make a big difference……that coupled with my professional medical icing device. I probably could have summed this up in one word…….Yippee!”

“I Got Really Lucky with my Choice of Dr. Shah – Denver, CO – M history with Dr. Shah goes back to 2004 when he did a complete face lift. He made me look like a better version of myself. The following 3 years found me in Denver twice for liposuction on my flanks and replacement of my breast implants. In all cases I found Dr. Shah to be a thorough and sensitive surgeon. Yesterday I had a temporal brow lift and cheek implants. The most interesting part was it was done as an office procedure with no general anesthetic. I felt no pain and I was awake all the time. The placement of the implants in my cheeks was no worse than stretching my lips as the dentist does to fill a tooth. I was amazed at how easy it was and by the way, I look terrific. I would recommend Dr. Shah to anyone. He is definitely an artist.”

“My Muscle Wall Gave Way Giving my Abdomen an Unsightly Large Buldge – Denver, CO – I met Dr Shah in 2007 when he did a face lift for me. I was really happy with the results. When I found out no amount of diet and exercise would remedy the problem with my abdomen I contacted him. and even through I no longer live in Colorado, I knew he was the doctor I wanted to perform my surgery.I am a little over four weeks after surgery and I am thrilled with the results. I am 66 years old and healing well and now I have the tummy I have dreamed of having.Thank you Dr Shah I appreciate your skill and care!”

“59 Years Old Female, Needed Multiple Correction Procedures on my Face – Denver, CO – One of the best you can find in this field, and I am no stranger to plastic surgeries, I come from family of 7 sisters and we all do what it takes to look younger, nobody’s work impressed me like Dr. Shah’s.Professional and committed to his work, understandable pre and during the operation, and his follow up which he never leaves out any advice or support, he is always there for his patients.”
