It is great that the surgeon comes highly recommended and is one of the top surgeons in the field, but it is also important that you have a connection with your doctor. It is important for the doctor to make you feel comfortable and build trust. On the other hand, this doesn't necessarily affect his work. It's always best go on a few consultations to see all of your options. Good luck.

Mild asthma is typically not a problem for this type of procedure. If needed, an appointment with your primary doctor for medical clearance may be scheduled. Even if no clearance is needed, I always have my patients bring their inhaler the morning of surgery.

I can help you with both . It can be done few days apart. I prefer to do abominoplasty first and few days later do facelift under twilight anesthesia, Dr. R. Shah

Thanks for your question. If you pull your cheeks up and back,how loose they feel? If there is enough laxity then you can consider mini facelift, otherwise like other surgeons suggested wait for little longer.Dr. R. Shah

Thanks for your ququestion. There are different way face and neck lift procedures are done. My approach is highly individualized to patient's need. Different techniques are available. In your case we  need to address forehead, upper and lower eyelids, cheeks ,lines around mouth, jowls and neck.This will require rejuvenation of forehead, upper and lower blepharoplasty,face and neck lift,  with some SMAS procedure and fat transfer to face. Good luck. Dr. R. Shah

Returning Customer!

Dr. Shah and his staff are wonderful. I was impressed with Dr. Shah's expertise and felt confident and at ease in his care. He genuinely cares about his patients and his office is so warm and welcoming. Be warned, though, you may turn into a repeat customer like me! Dr. Shah is capable of meeting all your aesthetic needs, both surgical and non surgical. He's a true gem!

Facelift

1 month post-op and pleased with my natural looking results

I am beyond pleased with my facelift, neck lift and blue chemical peel results. Dr Shah is a skilled surgeon. He was very patient in listening to my concerns pertaining to my jowls and sagging skin. Dr Shah also called a few hours after surgery to follow up with me. The staff was super friendly. Nurse Collen did an amazing job in walking me through the surgery process. Both Coleen and Letty answered my questions concerning pre and post op. It has been a month and thus far I am pleased with my natural looking results.

Facelift - only three weeks post surgery and I love how I look!

I'm only three weeks post surgery and I love how I look! It's really amazing! I should have done this years ago. Dr. Shah and his staff are warm and caring people. From the initial consultation through both surgeries and the post op follow ups, all went perfectly. Dr. Shah is an artist that takes pride in his work and cares about the smallest adjustments for the best outcome. I never felt like I was getting the "cookie cutter" treatment. Everything is tailored specifically to you. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Shah.

Perfect Surgery, Perfect Results!

Great. Dr. Shah is reputable, experienced and artful. He said to me, "I like to create a masterpiece when doing my work." That is a great endorsement, and I am perfectly happy with my results. I would not have gone to anyone else, knowing about Dr. Rajendra Shah. I highly recommend him, and his staff.

Liposuction

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shah

I was looking to lose weight, and despite by daily exercise and dieting, was unable to succeed. Dr. Shah helped me lose this weight through liposuction. I have since been able to keep off the weight through my daily exercise. I have been very pleased with the results and an optimistic that I will continue to keep the weight off.

Dr Shah and his team addressed all my concerns

I had a rhinoplasty and chin augmentation in Dec 2010 with Dr R Shah. He addressed all my concerns and made me feel comfortable and informed all the way until my surgery. I was bullied a lot in high school about my nose and chin, and the procedure was something I wanted for my own confidence. We all can find tweaks we'd like done, and Dr Shah and his team are the most qualified to address them. Thank you to all of you!

Very professional Dr and staff. He did not force me to do something that was not in my best interest. Had lipo of abdomen and absolutely happy with the results. I actually lost weight since then (Nov 2017) and am scheduled for a mommy makeover next month. Will be sure to add pics then! Trust me these ppl are professional and won't steer you wrong. Updated on 30 Nov 2019: So it's been 5 weeks since my breast lift (without implants) and tummy tuck. Had the breasts done on the Monday and tummy tuck on the Thursday. Love the results! Still healing but it's going pretty good. I was able to return to work after being off for 2 weeks with no problems. Used my norco only The first night after both procedures. I still wear my compression garment. Def recommend Dr Rajendra Shah. So glad I went to him. I appreciate his years of experience. Updated on 30 Nov 2019: So the swelling is usually noted in the evening after I've worked all day. I still wear my abdominal binder when I sleep but looser. I still stick to my healthy eating since I could not exercise like I'm accustomed to. I literally started walking on the treadmill today but just walking, not engaging my core.
