AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Rhinoplasty and Nose Shaping
••
Rhinoplasty is the hardest procedure to perform in all of plastic surgery. It involves precise 3D modifications to change the form and function of the nose. My specialized training in facial plastic surgery makes me uniquely qualified to reshape the nose. I was trained by prominent rhinoplasty surgeons, including a top revision rhinoplasty expert. I’m now considered one of the top rhinoplasty surgeons in Chicago. I performed 308 rhinoplasty procedures last year, putting me in the top 1% of facial plastic surgeons internationally. My forte is to tailor each nose to the patient, so that it matches their face, retains many of its natural features, and preserves their ethnicity. Computer imaging gives patients a chance to preview possibilities, to allow for the necessary personalization and help guide me during the surgery. I also try to minimize recuperation with advances in nutraceuticals and techniques that allow many patients to return to work after just one week.

Hair Restoration
••
Face and Neck Lifts
••
Not all facelifts are the same. My goal with patients who seek face and neck rejuvenation is to restore their appearance, so they look more like their former selves. While most physicians use a traditional skin and SMAS approach, this technique fails to lift and release the most critical structures, including the untethered platysma muscle. By sliding this muscle back into a more youthful position, patients can see natural yet powerful results in their faces and necks. When performing a facelift, I hide incisions along the hairline and natural creases of the face, and I put the tension on the deeper structures of the face, instead of the incision line, which maximizes healing and avoids obvious scars. I like to couple this technique with advanced nutraceuticals and often other adjunctive procedures to create a comprehensive approach to face and neck rejuvenation.

I absolutely love Dr. Shah! In my opinion, he’s the best facial surgeon out there.
I had a previous procedure with him a while back and he completely exceeded my expectations, so when I decided to get my nose done, there was no question I was going back to him.
I am from Germany and unfortunately had a botched septoplasty in the past by a doctor there, which severely affected my breathing.
Dr. Shah not only straightened my septum and completely fixed my breathing, but he also

I had my procedure under local anesthesia in the office. Not many surgeons offer this, so this is the reason I chose him! I am 3 months post op and in love with my results.
Choosing a plastic surgeon for my septorhinoplasty was a monumental decision—one that would profoundly impact both my physical and mental well-being. I was understandably nervous, especially given the complexity of my case (please see the before and after photos below - 1 month post op).

Dr. Shah's expertise was evident as I needed a perforation in my septum repaired—a

Dr. Shah did my rhinoplasty several years ago, and it was life changing. Years later, I continue to trust him and his staff for all of my facial aesthetic needs. I have had Botox, filler, exosomes, and some laser treatments. All of these procedures were done with excellent technique and care. Best of all, people often mistake me for looking much younger than my age!
Dr Shah and Dr Sammea are an amazing team !
They both are knowledgeable and skillful
All procedures were carefully explained in advance
Also the staffs are friendly and helpful
I will recommend them to anyone without hesitations
Dr Shah was amazing. He provides phenomenal care. He is very knowledgeable, patient, courteous, and respectful. I would recommend him to everyone I know. You can tell how much he truly cares about his patients by the amount of dedication he provides to each patient. One of the best!!
I have wanted a rhinoplasty for my entire life and finally decided to take the leap with Dr. Shah. I am 3 months post op and I am loving my new nose! Dr Shah also offers post-op resources such as lasers for scarring and steroid injections included in the operation costs. My surgery experience has been smooth and I would definitely recommend this surgeon!
Dr. Shah is amazing! The staff was extremely friendly and very welcoming. I love the new office, it was extremely clean! I got botox and it was little to no pain at all! I would highly recommend to anyone!! :)
