Biggest Regret of my Life

If this is for a rhinoplasty, RUN. After nearly a decade long journey beginning with Dr. Shah, I have spent countless time, energy, money, and pain, attempting to reverse the physical and emotional damage done at his hands.
I write this as I sit writhing in pain from a horrendous and exorbitantly expensive revision rhino, years after Dr. Shah legitimately butchered my nose multiple times. I cannot adequately express the anger and regret I feel for having chose Dr. Shah in the first place, or stupidly agreeing to let him perform TWO revisions. Which he somehow, managed to convince me was a good idea and somehow managed to make my nose identical to the terrain of a Colorado mountain.
The blatant lack of care, consideration, and concern when I was not a new patient who was paying a fee, was the most audacious and maddening part of this whole process. They (the staff is just as dismissive and arrogant as the doctor they work for) made it very clear I was, in no way, a priority. From pushing my last revision procedure back countless hours (both in the week of and then last minute, while I was waiting hours in the office), to forgetting to give me local anesthetic, to forgetting to sign my freaking pain prescription (it was a Friday afternoon, so I endured the entire weekend in pain), the whole thing was a disaster that just made it worse and harder for my new doctor to “attempt” to correct.
If there’s one thing positive that can come out of my disastrous experience, it’s that I save someone else from making the biggest regret of their life. Do not make the same mistake I did. Do it right the first time. This is not a good surgeon. Please, run.

I had the same experience. Told me I should go in with him for a revision but followed my instinct and decided not to. I don’t think they realize they need to stop offering rhinoplasty services because I’ve read enough reviews saying how much they’ve ruined their lives. I lost my modeling and acting job because of him. His surgery cost me a great deal of aging too. I don’t understand how they’re still running rhinoplasty services. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Hope more people come forward to prevent someone else making the same mistake.

I’m at a 6 months mark and my nose is not very odd looking
He cut it so short and pinched my nasal valves scooped the bridge I look like a chucky doll
I need a revision I don’t know if I can afford it mentally and financially
