WORTH IT$8,500
I've wanted this forever. I think I've wanted to do this since I first broke my nose playing sports when I was 14. I remember the paramedic saying "yep its broken but we can't really do anything about it" then he turned around and asked my friends if it was that crooked before and everyone started laughing. Fast forward 10 years later and a few more impacts to the nose, and art this point I reallllly wanted a correction. I looked into other top docs but they were all egotistical and didn't listen to me at all. Even though the morphs that other doctors showed me looked good, I didn't feel comfortable with anyone until I meet with dr. Shah.
I had surgery on may 20th 2016. I'm still in a cast but I can already tell I'm going to love it if it's anywhere close to what it looks like in the cast. I actually can't stop looking at it even in the cast and being so happy that I actually took the steps to improve my nose and make myself happy.
Maybe because I'm a guy I'm not overly critical of this tiny angle or this imperfection, but mainly I think it's because I was going for improvement and not perfection. I really wasn't going to write a review until I Came on here and saw the last few reviews were somewhat negative. The other most recent one was written 2 weeks after surgery and she claims shah botched the operation! Jesus , c'mon woman, you know this surgery takes a year to show results and you're blasting a top surgeon because your face ,that was just deeply cut into , isn't immediately perfect? Wow what a bisnat$&.
Anyway I really wanted to stick up for dr shah and leave a positive review that would give honest info to anyone considering this. Realize that noooooone likes to leave rhinoplasty reviews or even admit you had it done. Most reviews are left because the person is unhappy, or uneducated about what results they should be expecting and when. None of the patents I met that look great left a review (at least I haven't seen them on here and I have read EVERY Shah review).

These are for everyone that thought my review was fake. For some reason I have also read that a lot of shah reviews are fake. This one isn't. I was surprised at how many responses I got about my review being fake...so if you still doubt it then I don't know what to tell you.

Awesome! Even with the cast still on its looking good :) I had my nose done by Shah as well last year and I couldn't be happier! Healing does take time and your nose will be very swollen the first month or 2. Keep us updated
May 27, 2016
heyyyy thanks! Yeah I just got the cast off......dammnnnnnnn that hurt! Wasn't prepared for that, but I really like the way it looks so far. Definitely swollen, but yeah I can tell it's exactly what I want and will look great when the swelling subsides.
May 27, 2016
Yeah I just looked at your pics, very lovely indeed. I see what you mean about the swelling. Looks like everything on you rounded out quite nicely if ya know what I'm sayin

felidae and xochilquetzal's reviews really show dr shahs work. It helped me with my decision to go to shah. I also personally have met people who had work done by shah. I'm so please with my nose, sorry I dont show my pictures or do a review but you can find a pic of my old nose in my posting history.

Cast off!
recon906May 27, 2016
Look who got their cast off mothafuckkkkkaaaaaaass.....I was so amazed how good it looks, I mean it's lumpy and totally swollen but still...if you look at my nose before, wow huuuuge difference. I was really worried about getting the cast off because some people looked absolutely terrible , uneven swelling, uneven nostrils, etc...I was expecting tons of asymmetry bit nope, just a little but of frumpyNess, and swelling throughout, but I can tell once it all goes down I'll have my dream nose. I had tons of worried ass questions ready to ask today, but totally went blank once the cast came off. I didn't even ask any of my questions, the doc and I just shother the [RS bleep] about his world travels and sports...love this guy. I asked if there was anything I could do for him since he totally changed my life and he said no need, "this is just humans helping each other" wow what a great guy. I think he realizes he could charge double and people would still pay, but he does this out of a philanthropic aspect as well. I would whole heartedly recommend this guy to anyone willing to cough up the dough, time, and go through some pain ha.

Hahah first review to crack me up. Nose looks ledge. I look like shrek. But not because of. Bad surgeon but because I have majorerrrrrerr tip swelling and a minor tip infection. I feel like I'll never look normal again but it's been what 7 days haha ... Cxxx
May 27, 2016
Ahhh you're probably good, I think it's human nature to fear the immediate results. Now we're in the same boat, stay off the salts, be glad you took the action to do something you've wanted, and just wait... someone pointed out that at 2 weeks post op youre only 2% recovered

Thanks for sharing! I had my surgery with shah. You're in good hands just follow his instructions. Everyones healing process is different. It's so disappointing that ppl leave such bad reviews, before they actually see results. Around the forth month is when my nose started unswelling, and evening out. Your noses will look great and the results so far look nice. Keep us updated!

I agreeee! Dr Shah is a unique individual. He makes you feel comfortable to ask any questions and talk about stuff outside of rhinoplasties. Good person and you can tell he wants you to be happy. He listens to all my concerns. I have weird swelling right now and I'm 5 months post but hopefully he can fix it. I have faith in him! And good luck to you with healing! Don't be tempted to think about it all the time. That was my biggest mistake. My new nose is all I think about lol and I freak out when I see swelling but I know that patience is very important

Yep I was totally prepared for wicked swelling for a year, my nose was so large and crooked before though that I am happy with my results right now even with swelling. One of the reasons I went with shah is he seemed dedicated to aftercare support and making sure the very final outcome, even years down the road, is good. I think he does touch ups and will even revise for free. It's probably hard to predict how differently everyone will heal, so him being honest about unexpected healing and necessary revisions is a huge bonus for going with shah. Throughout the whole process he has been so meticulous, but relaxed, it's a very unique combination.
