“Dr. Shah & Staff… It’s nice to know you’re in good hands. Thank you for your time and patience with me. Much thanks and looking forward to working with you again. Thanks also for caring. Love, K”

“Hello Everyone! I just wanted to thank all of you for taking such good care of me during surgery. I’m so happy with the outcome. Thank you, several of you, for sharing your stories with me. I don’t think you planned it but your candor put me at ease… there is a lot of heart in your office, Dr. Shah, I’m sure you know. I hope you enjoy these, the pumpkin bread is my new weakness. The chocolate chip cookies are only like 100 calories so enjoy them guilt free (I don’t know how they do it, they’re pretty amazing)… and who doesn’t love truffles? I thought about throwing in some of my Lenny and Larry high protein cookies but they’re pretty terrible. Dr. Shah will be happy to know I choked them down post-op. I’m not the best a creating gift baskets. My friend, Charity, is much better. I loved the polka dots but as I lack balance in most things it might appear that some polka dots threw up all over your treats… either way I tried. Happy Thanksgiving, see you soon, have a beautiful holiday as you make others beautiful. KS”

“HI Dr. Shah, it’s ****. I think this is your cell phone? Just want you to know that I’m so happy with my nose. You’ve done such a fantastic job. True artist. Thank you so much.”

“For as long as I can remember, I was teased about my large nose. It didn’t fit with the rest of my face and protruded quite far. I wanted a rhinoplasty ever since I was in middle school. My nose was not feminine at all and seemed to be the butt of most jokes amongst my peers. I just wanted to look pretty, feel pretty, and have the teasing and comments stopped for good. I had a rhinoplasty in August of 2008 by another plastic surgeon in Denver. I was so excited and emotionally ready to finally have the procedure done, I had been dreaming of this day for almost 15 years. After my surgery my nose was straight but very swollen. I was thrilled at how straight it was since I had the classic “italian bump” in my nose. I was growing concerned over the swelling and how it was taking so long to go away, I was reassured by my surgeon that it was normal and would go away eventually. Over the next few months, the tip of my nose become very bulbous looking and it was starting to droop. I noticed it in a picture of myself that was taken on a night out and I was devastated. This wasn’t what I wanted or hoped for. My family and close friends were even commenting on the way it was starting to look.I was still told by my surgeon that it was normal and to be patient before he told me I may need another surgery to correct it. This was not the news I wanted to hear, but it also wasn’t the result I had wanted either. 18 months after my original surgery, I consulted with Dr. Shah about a secondary rhinoplasty. Dr. Shah came highly recommended to me as someone who specializes in “secondary rhinoplasty procedures”. I knew if I was going to have to go through this again, I was going to go to a surgeon who has a great reputation for doing not only rhinoplasty’s but secondary procedures as well. I had even considered seeing a surgeon in Los Angeles before seeing Dr. Shah. Dr. Shah took one look at me and knew exactly what had gone wrong in the first surgery and how to correct with a simple second surgery. I knew right then, I had to have Dr. Shah correct my nose once and for all. I became excited again and I knew that I was in the right hands. Dr. Shah showed me my pictures on a computer program and together, we talked about my goals and his plan for my final results. He made sure he knew what I was requesting for him to do. I was put at ease because he knew exactly what I wanted, and he was going to be able to do it. I am not very good at being patient so I scheduled my surgery to be done in two weeks. My surgery was a breeze. Everyone at the surgical center was so sweet and made it a very comfortable experience. The hardest part of the recovery is waiting for the splint to come off. Once it did, I was stunned. So stunned that I didn’t say anything, I was speechless. Dr. Shah did it! He did exactly what I wanted. I finally look the way I pictured myself looking and I finally like the way I look! I had my surgery 8 months ago and the swelling continues to go down, just like Dr. Shah told me it would. I saw a picture taken of myself from a friends birthday party and for the first time in my life, I didn’t immediately look to see how my awful my nose looked. I absolutely loved what I saw and I know that other people see me the way I always wanted them to. Words can not express how grateful I am to Dr. Shah. I do not even want to think about how much worse I would have looked and felt, had Dr. Shah not corrected my first surgery. My self esteem is the best that its ever been thanks to him. Dr. Shah gave me a nose that compliments the rest of my facial features with out looking like I had anything “done”. A thousand “Thank you’s” don’t seem to be enough for what he did for me; a surgery that he performs almost everyday changed my life. by LP, 29 yo female”

“When I decided to have cosmetic surgery, I wanted a surgeon who specialized in rhinoplasty with an emphasis in ethnic rhinoplasty. While researching several plastic surgeons, I found that Dr. Shah was the best qualified doctor to perform my surgery. Dr. Shah and his staff made me feel comfortable about my decision to have this procedure done. They are professional and very personable. I would recommend Dr. Shah to anyone who is considering cosmetic surgery. I’m very pleased with the results of my surgery. Its only been three months since my surgery, and I can see a subtle yet an amazing difference in my appearance. I’m greatful for Dr. Shah and his staff.”

“I had a rhinoplasty approximately 2yrs ago with Dr. Shah, after having broken my nose four times before due to sports injuries. I could no longer breathe out of my nose in the rest position so loss of sleep was great; additionally I suffered constant headaches. I was very pleased to have had my surgical procedure with Dr. Shah as he again restored my breathing and made my nose look great. I would, and have recommended his work to family and friends.”
