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!!!

My nose is no longer upturned - 20+ years ago, I injured my nose in a car accident. Three previous attempts to restore the shape, and function of my nose left me with a "piggy" nose that was a constant source of emotional pain and embarrassment. I returned to the last doctor to ask for help, and he just said that was the best I could hope for. Other doctors said the same thing. Then, I found Dr. Shah. OMG - what a difference. I felt heard and understood. In April of this year (2023), I had the 4th revision surgery - and the LAST!!! My nose is no longer upturned and piggy looking. It just looks like a normal, everyday nose that belongs on my face. I feel a sense of confidence, and freedom that I have not felt since my 20's. Thank you, Dr. Shah - you are an amazing, kind human being and apparently a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. I am forever grateful to you and your enire staff.

My Nose Journey ❤️ I had a accident when I was young that resulted in many surgeries over the years. The rhinoplasty I had gotten started leaning to the right and overtime created breathing problem. I found Dr. Shah on a search for a nose correction specialist and hose him because the overwhelming good reviews and his experience! Immediately I noticed my breathing issues were fixed. I was so relieved because this complicated my sleeping, I could not exercise, I always had a headache. Being able to breathe through my nose again is something I will never take for granted and I am so grateful to Dr. Shah for fixing my collapsed septum. Aesthetically, I cried tears of joy when I was healing. Before, my nose was crooked and almost detached I could feel the tip cartilage pop in and out of place! I had no expectations that I would have such a straight nose and kinda expected a small improvement. Dr. Shah not only got my nose and septum so straight but he also fixed my nose to look more natural and smaller to fit my face. This is the most beautiful I have ever felt. This is how I alway felt on the inside and have struggled for so long after the accident with just wanting to feel normal and not have people comment on my scars or nose. I cannot thank Dr. Shah enough for what he has done for me. I feel so comfortable and effortless in the way I look and can finally put all my pain and suffering from my accident to rest. Thank you Dr. Shah!!! His team is always amazing in helping in any way and making sure you feel comfortable and cared for.

I started going to Shah Aesthetic Surgery for a rhinoplasty by Dr. Shah which I am absolutely thrilled with. I am staying on as a patient not only because of how wonderful Dr Shah was but the whole office staff! I have been getting Sculptra, Dysport and threads from Sarah who is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel so comfortable and takes the time to explain everything and go over different options. The results are natural but beautiful!

Dr. Shah is Brilliant and I Love my Results - I couldn't be happier with my experience with Dr. Shah! I had a large hump in my hose that had bothered me for over 30 years. I thought about it every single day, every time I caught my reflection, every time someone took a picture. I hated having my profile visible and constantly had my hair in my face to try to hide it. I was really nervous to have my nose done because I didn't want it to look overdone, too small, or like it didn't fit my face. Dr. Shah did an incredible job of listening to exactly what I wanted, and making my nose fit my face so well that my closest friends were blown away by how natural it looks. I feel so confident and happy!I got the Ultrasonic Piezo Rhinoplasty, which is a gentler, more refined method. I had minimal swelling and in just seven days from my surgery I was out and about excited to put my new face into the world. Dr. Shah and his staff are wonderful - professional, warm, knowledgable, responsive. Literally my only regret about this procedure was not doing it sooner. I'm so grateful to Dr. Shah for helping me feel like the best version of myself.

The technique for ultrasonic rhinoplasty is a bit different from that of traditional rhinoplasty surgery. Instead of using hammers, chisels, and rasps, which create more damage are require more healing time, ultrasound, or focused sound waves, are used. Using an ultrasound wand that can be equipped with different tips, humps in the nose can be removed without damaging underlying tissue while allowing Dr. Shah to create a very precise nasal ridge. The end result is a more beautiful nose with far less trauma, less swelling, and almost no bruising.

Before/After Surgery

Because of the more extensive skin undermining needed to perform ultrasonic rhinoplasty, the surgery itself takes 2-3 hours to perform. Recovery after ultrasonic rhinoplasty is similar to traditional rhinoplasty. You still need to wear a nasal splint for seven days. You still need to sleep with your head of bed elevated, and you still need to apply ice to the nose. Dr. Shah still uses night time taping and soft tissue massage techniques after the splint is removed at postoperative day number seven. The difference is that your nose looks more presentable to the public early on and the long-term final result is enhanced once full healing has occurred at the one year postoperative mark.

How much does ultrasonic rhinoplasty cost?

The cost of ultrasonic rhinoplasty varies based on a number of factors, mainly how complex your procedure is. Before estimating costs, Dr. Shah will listen to your concerns and goals to help develop your custom treatment plan. Once this is complete, he can go over costs for the facility, anesthesia, and more. To get your best results, it's better to focus on selecting an experienced surgeon, like Dr. Shah, instead of the lowest cost. To help make your surgery easy to afford, Shah Aesthetic Surgery accepts several payment methods, and we can help you find low-interest financing.

Will my insurance cover an ultrasonic rhinoplasty procedure?

Although ultrasonic Piezo rhinoplasty to improve your appearance is not paid for by insurance, if your nose reshaping surgery is considered medically necessary to improve your breathing, some of your costs may be covered. If you are considering using your insurance, please tell Dr. Shah in your consultation. We can help you submit the needed paperwork and information to your insurance to properly process your claim.

Can I combine ultrasonic Piezo rhinoplasty with other facial surgeries?

Some patients think about combining ultrasonic rhinoplasty with another procedure, like cheek or chin augmentation. Combining surgeries for a more dramatic result can be discussed during your consultation with Dr. Shah. Once he understands your goals, he can help you decide which procedures will be in your treatment plan. Ultrasonic Piezo rhinoplasty can help your whole face appear more balanced, so you should wait to see your results before considering another procedure.

What about ethnic rhinoplasty?

Ethnic rhinoplasty is about improving the nose while still keeping your cultural identity. This may be a consideration if you are African-American, Asian, or Middle Eastern. During your consultation with Dr. Shah, you can discuss what you like about your nose and what you want to change. This will allow him to customize your ultrasonic Piezo rhinoplasty treatment plan to give you the best results.
