I had a primary in 2016 march so it’s been officially 2 years. My primary surgeon (frank madda in downers grove, il) ruined my nose and self esteem. Please avoid him at all costs, he has no talent with the nose and should not be even doing it on people. It’s about money for him. He was only supposed to fix my breathing and straighten my bridge. Instead my nose now has become crooked, crooked nostrils, and a droopy poly beak. My columella hangs now which I absolutely despise, especially when I smile. My breathing is even worse than before. Good news that I have a revision scheduled with Dr Anil Shah on 03/16/18. I will keep you guys updated. I am also meeting him on 03/13 because I feel like I’m not 100% satisfied with my morph. I want to be 100% clear with him on what I am trying to aim for. I have attached a pre primary photo and post primary. Also some pics on what I am trying to achieve.

I like that youre blocking out all the negativity some are saying about dr.Shah, hes a very sweet man, I got my primary done with him and he offered a minor revision due to slight issues with my healing / stuff we didn't achieve 100% yet. please send me pics of your front and side profile if you feel comfortable, im thinking of his revision next year after summer. Youre nose is upturned because of all the swelling, I had the same exact thing after my primary, in fact, if he revises I will probably ask him for a bit more lifted just because the swelling goes down BY ALOT after a few years.

I'd love to see pictures of your after result. Dr. Shah did my primary and while I do think it's better, there are some areas that I'm really not happy with. I used to consider my left side my best side and despite having a larger nose, knew how to work camera angles to get the best result in photos. Now I can't stand how my nose looks from the left side. I'm debating getting a revision but not sure if I should do it with him. I love how the right side of my nose looks and would like the left to look the same way but I'm also worried about the fact that if I wasn't happy the first time, should I trust him with the revision?

im literally going through the same thing. we can help each other by looking at each other's pics? I don't like my right compared to my left lol. and the results are good not excellent, but perfection is always impossible , its human nature. ill send u a pm

Hi! I am also considering Dr. Shah. I met some of his patients while we waited together so I believe that some of these reviews may be fake or exaggerated to make him look bad. Are you able to share more about your healing process?

This Lee Lee person I kind of rude.... and all I see from their profile are tons of comments on other people’s pages. Dr Shah is excellent. Your tip will drop—mine did. And you will look amazing.
March 20, 2018
thank you!!! I was so afraid of it not dropping
March 20, 2018
Thank you so much for your sweet comments. Trust me, I was worried as well. I am now exactly 4 week’s post op and it has dropped even more—starting to look so great. I had a large stitch come out of my tip—totally normal since it was dissolvable—and my tip started feeling less upturned after that. But the biggest change I’ve seen has been in the past two day :-) I know you’ll be so happy—I cried!
March 20, 2018
thats awesome! so happy for you! thanks for letting me now :)
