I have always disliked my nose for as far back as I can remember. I finally decided it was time to do something about it and I found Dr. Shah. I had a flat nose bridge and my nostrils were wide ,but now my nose is beautiful. I look like myself ,but better!!! BTW he used my rib and there is minimal scarring

Hi, my photos are not on his website because I don't want people to know i have had this done. I LOVE my results and i don't regret it one bit. Please be aware that when the cast first come off it will not be your final result because honestly i was scared when the cast first came off. I just continued to ice and keep the cast on and follow all instructions. I have thick skin and it does take a while for the swelling to go down please be patient. It took a while to get used to my new face, but my nose is amazing. I was worried about having a "Michael Jackson nose" but i look like myself only better. Iif u send me your email address i will send you before and after photos. I love my results!

Your results look good! Can you post more pics of before and after. Did you have any other work done?

Hi Purrfect,
I am working on the courage to post more photos :) I did not have anything else done ,but I noticed my top lip has changed and what you cannot see in the photo is I have braces and I am thinking about a lip lift. I am actively looking for a doctor to perform my bbl. Does anyone know of a good doctor

Firstly, your new nose looks absolutely gorgeous. And not 'done' looking at all! Dr randal Haworth in bev hills does a lot of lip lifts. i think it's definitely an issue for a lot of patients post rhino, that their upper lip is longer than before. I keep umming and aahing about a lip lift because I worry about scarring around base of nose, changing the look of the nose (that you've paid hard earned money to improve) and there being an effect on your smile...but a long upper lip can detract from a cute nose. It's a tough call. Do you think you'll go for it?

Hi Tam, thank you and scarring and my nose shape changing is my main concern. It is a catch 22 because i don't want to end up regretting my decision. I have a consult for a bbl and i will ask about the lip lift and if i feel confident about it i will go for it!!!!

I can't tell you anything about a good doctor for a bbl. that's the one area where I was blessed lol. I too was considering some sort of lip lift. I want to have a more defined Cupid's bow.
