POSTED UNDER Rhinoplasty Reviews
Crooked and wider throughout bridge and tip
UPDATED FROM anxious.fellow
11 months post
Finally have some before pics
So, I'm just a couple weeks shy of one year post op and there has been no change in the deformity created by Dr. Shah. Still way more crooked and wider throughout bridge and tip, then my nose was before. He refuses to revise his work, and after happily taking all my money, I'm now forced to live with the lifelong depression because of Dr. Shah's mistake.

So sorry he did this to you. Did you obtain the surgery report? He probably put grafts in your nose and this may be the reason for a wider nose. I hope you find a good revision dr
I haven't received the surgery reports, and will never be able to afford a revision. Thanks for the support.
Keep the faith. Request the operative report in writing. By law he has so many days to provide a copy of your file.
I'm so sorry this happened. :(

Dr. Anand Shah convinced me to go with him after...
Dr. Anand Shah convinced me to go with him after multiple MD consultations. He told about how another local plastic surgeon caused botulism in one of his patients, , but wouldn't give me the name of the surgeon, he also said I had a complex nose and no one else could do the job but him....very smooth talker, so even though he charged me $3000 more dollars, I decided to go with him to play it safe. Well, he did not deliver on his promises... $10500 and painful anxiety, here I am 6 months post op and with the wider and far more crooked nose, that he gave me. After following up several times, month after month, he refused to do a revision and would not refund a dime. So I'm posting this in hopes that others will not fall victim to this surgeon.

Sorry you are going through this. I'm 4 months post op and some days I love my nose and other days not so much. We are still in the healing process. It could take a year or more for final results. Hang in there. We can't judge our results right now. I read its best to wait one year to have a revision. Maybe in a year you'll be happy :) keep us updated. Think positive. I think your nose looks great.
Thank you for sharing your experience on RealSelf!
Please get operative notes.
I'm sorry for what you've been through. It doesn't look that bad, but this person wasn't an expert in rhinoplasty OR male noses, and I think it's horrible surgeons won't revise their own work if a patient is clearly unhappy.
Would you mind putting a before picture?
Doesn't look bad though from what I see
