Shah Aesthetic Surgery - Rhinoplasty and Facelift Specialist

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Shah and his staff. I did my rhinoplasty with him after a lot of research and consultations I'm so glad I chose him. He's very skilled and talented. He made sure my new nose fit my face and I'm soo happy with the results. The staff at the surgery center were also great and made the whole experience very safe and comfortable. I'm only 3 weeks post op but I'm so happy with the results so far. It looks better every day as the swelling goes down. I love my new nose!!

I had an incredible experience with Shah Aesthetic Surgery. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was warm, welcoming, and professional. Everyone made me feel completely comfortable and taken care of. Dr. Shah’s knowledge and skill level are truly unmatched — he took the time to explain everything thoroughly and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and takes great pride in his work. This is an amazing practice filled with amazing people. I couldn’t be happier with my results and the overall experience. Highly recommend!

I had a face, neck, and brow lift about 4 weeks ago. I’m healing up quickly and I am SO happy with the results! Dr. Shah did a fantastic job. My neck was my main area of concern, and he fixed it. My face looks younger. Everything looks natural. I’m so pleased! The staff are really friendly and attentive as well. It was a really smooth, easy process. I would say enjoyable, but it was still surgery so that would be a little over the top.:-)

A few years ago, I consulted Dr. Shah about my chin, thinking it was too pronounced. I later learned the real issue was a recessed mouth, something that should be addressed by a maxillofacial surgeon. During the consultation, Dr. Shah insisted that if he reduced my chin, I’d also need a rhinoplasty and submental liposuction to “smooth” my profile. I was neither overweight nor concerned about my nose, so his suggestions surprised me. Although I originally went in only to discuss my chin, Dr. Shah’s persuasive manner convinced me to agree to all three procedures. In hindsight, his approach felt more like a salesman’s pitch than a surgeon’s guidance. My only nasal concern for the surgery was a small hump on the bridge, but after the first rhinoplasty, I was left with a noticeable new bump on the left side of the bridge and a bulbous tip. When I raised these issues, Dr. Shah brushed them off as “common” side effects he had never mentioned beforehand and which would've made me decide against the surgeries. After a year of meticulous care and post-op visits by me, he recommended a revision in-office to rasp down the new bridge bump and to refine the tip. I clearly stated that I wanted to maintain the width and shape of my nose overall and just wanted to remove the bump he created, as well as refine the tip. He seemed annoyed with me at the reminder that I never had these issues prior to surgery and that I didn't bring any reference photos of what I wanted. I provided some photos emphasizing that I wanted a “square” look to the tip of my nose rather than a narrow or “diamond” shape and that I wanted to keep the width of my nose the same as it suited my face. Unfortunately, the outcome of the revision rhinoplasty was disastrous. After two surgeries with Dr. Shah, I was left with: • A narrow, crooked nose that tilts to one side • A collapsed nasal valve (confirmed by three ENTs) • A hanging columella I never had before • An over-rasped bridge and uneven nostrils When the cast was removed, the staff avoided giving me a mirror or taking after photos as they did after my initial surgery as it was obvious something had gone wrong. I was devastated and broke down in tears after looking in the mirror when I got home and didn't recognize myself. The mark of a skilled surgeon is that you still look like yourself and I certainly do not. Despite my growing concerns, I continued to attend all follow-ups, hoping things would improve. Later, several other surgeons and ENTs confirmed the structural and aesthetic issues and advised that I obtain Dr. Shah’s operative notes so they could understand what was done. When I reviewed them, I was shocked to find he had written that I wanted a narrower nose which was completely untrue, as I had repeatedly said the opposite. He refused to take responsibility but offered to “fix” it for free, saying that other surgeons would charge me $10,000 to correct his work. You couldn’t pay me to let Dr. Shah touch my nose again. Before these surgeries, I had a nose I never thought twice about as it was something that suited me and felt natural. Now, years later, I continue to struggle to look in the mirror and avoid taking photos altogether. It’s heartbreaking to not recognize yourself anymore. In my experience, Dr. Shah prioritizes volume over quality, performing numerous surgeries a day instead of taking the time such delicate work requires. Rhinoplasty demands precision and humility, all qualities I did not experience under his care. I’m sharing my story to caution others: research thoroughly and consult multiple board-certified ENT or facial plastic surgeons before deciding. Don’t be swayed by charisma and unsolicited stories about his success with other patients. Trust skill, empathy, and transparency instead of arrogance. (Before and after photos were taken by Dr. Shah in his office; my face appears sunburned in the “after” image.)

It has been 3 years since my surgery. My neck is deformed, my face is uneven and has been since the surgery. When were in pre-op, maybe a minute before we went into surgery he put out his crippled arthritis hands.

My experience with Shah Aesthetic Surgery was more than amazing. I was provided with much information regarding the procedure, pricing, and aftercare. Any questions and there were many were always answered. Dr. Shah was charismatic and checked up and answered any of my concerns after my surgery. I am in love with my surgery and it was exactly what I had envisioned for myself!

I first saw Dr. Shah years ago when his office was still in Cherry Creek, and I’ve been a patient ever since. Even after he moved to Englewood, I gladly make the drive because the level of care, skill, and professionalism is worth it every time. Over the years, I’ve had several procedures done and have always felt completely comfortable in his care. The results have consistently exceeded my expectations, and his staff is just as welcoming and attentive as he is. Will certainly be back for other procedures in the future!

Dr Shah really did save my nose. I had two prior surgeries that did not go as expected and I had a large septal perforation. I struggled daily to breathe well. I was in pain at times and struggled emotionally with the defects I had cosmetically and physically. Dr Shah took me on as a client when many other surgeons had turned me away, saying my situation was too complicated & too difficult to improve. Dr Shah significantly improved the structure and appearance of my nose and I’ll be grateful to him for the rest of my life. My journey with rhinoplasty was very difficult but I’m so glad I ended up in his care. Thank you Dr Shah.

Dr. Shah is not only an incredibly talented surgeon, but he is also an incredibly kind and caring person. I went to him for a lip lift consultation and immediately felt at ease upon meeting him. He took time to thoroughly answer my questions, and I could tell he had a very comprehensive knowledge of the facial anatomy. The surgery was done under local anesthesia and him and Tatiana made me feel so comfortable even though I was awake the entire time. I don't have a visible scar and even though the surgery was very minor, it has made the biggest difference in my confidence. Suffice to say, I am very happy with the outcome and highly recommend Dr. Shah and his team.

I'm only giving 4 stars because I've not been to Dr. Shaw but am considering him. My question here is.... how many reviews are legitimate? When Dr. Shaw stated one person wasn't a client, it made me wonder if the bad reviews are by the same person? A friend who is an esthetician has her daughter asking friends to give her mother 5 star reviews when they've never seen her. Is there a better place to find reviews of aesthetic specialists?

My experience with Dr. Shah thus far has been very positive. I came in asking him to do a subtle rhinoplasty, keeping the overall shape of my nose (including the bump!), but reducing the projection. He did exactly what I asked for and I'm happy with the results. I'm going in this week for a slight revision to the tip and hope to have just as positive an experience with him the second time around. I will follow up with another review after this procedure.

I was able to have the bulb of my nose reduced with only having to go to his clinic and not having to be put under with anesthesia, plus a hospital stay. Was headed home in just a few hours. Dr. Shah was recommended to me from another plastic surgeon who doesn't do rhinoplasty. He was very professional and personable along with his staff, which were excellent. It takes a year to see final results, but it is already much better. 2 thumbs up

I highly recommend Dr. Shah and his team. I had a few separate procedures - both invasive and less invasive - with positive results. Moreover, he consistently follows up to ensure the recovery process leads to the desired results. Dr. Shah has an extensive background and specialty in facial procedures, which is critical when selecting a surgeon, so they have experience with different types of patients and aesthetic goals. As an individual, he is personable and genuine, which can be rare in this field of practice. His office staff is professional, clearly communicates, and does their best to accommodate your needs. I recommend Dr. Shah and the practice without hesitation on your journey of self-improvement.

I honestly regret choosing this doctor for my rhinoplasty. I went to him in 2018 for my first rhinoplasty and I trusted that he could give me my desired results. A couple months of healing and my results showed that I had an inverted V deformity nose which means he cut too much of nasal bone down. I went back to see him and he told me that we can do a revision to fix it, add a graft to the middle and it would be fixed. Since I added that, my nose is now very droopy and I'm having severe breathing problems and cannot breath naturally like I used to. There is also a dent on my nose and it looks extremely crooked especially when I smile. Also if you are an experienced doctor, you would know that if you are slimming down the bridge of the nose, whatever part you didn't make smaller will appear very large in my case, as with my tip drooping over. I'm still very unhappy/sad with my nose after two rhinoplasties with him and I payed for the initial surgery which was over 8k and for the revision I had to pay over 2k for anesthesia fees. I went back to him recently to talk about the issues I am having. He presented that I do a tip surgery that will put more graft in the tip of my nose and bring it up which he says is non invasive. I was quoted another 6.7k to fix the issue that he initially was unable to do in one surgery. I am now going to pay more money to be happy with the tip of my nose, and am so fearful that something could go wrong since this will now have to be my third time getting a rhinoplasty. I wish I could go back and chose a different doctor. I think doing your research and at least consulting with many doctors before you make your decision, and try to avoid having to do multiple surgeries to fix the previous one.

I am only giving one star because there's no other option, but if I could, I would give him a 0. I had a revision rhinoplasty done by Shah Manish in April 2019. All I wanted was to breathe better and have a better projection because my nose tip was significantly dropped. I regret so much having had surgery with this doctor as he did a horrible job. Not only did he make my nose worse than it was, but he destroyed my nose. My nose looked ugly. He could not fix my tip; my breathing problem worsens. One year later July 2020, I went back to his office and said he would fix it by doing another office procedure, I trusted him again, and he just made it worse. He left a bump on my nose that was not there. I absolutely hated my nose, had no confidence, had depression for a while, and could no longer pursue my modeling career because of the results. I kept going back to his office to express how I felt about it, and he never listened to me or let me talk. All he said was that my nose was very swollen and that it would get better eventually, which never did. I spent two years dealing with this awful doctor, and nothing changed. He just wasted my time and money. I spent 8k on the first procedure and $300 on the second one. PLEASE AVOID THIS DOCTOR AT ALL COSTS. HE ONLY CARES ABOUT MONEY AND DOESNT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF WORKING WITH A VARIETY OF NOSES. I HONESTLY DONT KNOW HOW HE HAS HIS BUSINESS RUNNING AND HAS A DEGREE OF IT. HIS WORK IS HORRENDOUS. I WISH HE COULD HAVE BEEN HONEST WITH ME INSTEAD OF DESTROYING MY NOSE AND CONFIDENCE. I recently got back from Mexico, where I had to find another doctor (a professional one). She recorded the surgery and showed me all the issues he did with my nose, which I was utterly shocked. However, she fixed my nose and breathing problems. Currently, my nose looks completely different and beautiful. I am so in love with my results. She exceeded my expectations even though it has only been a few weeks.

I've had two separate procedures done by Dr. Shah. I like his work, demeanor and expertise so much that I have recommended him to my family. He has gone above and beyond with making sure myself and the family members I referred had smooth procedures and recoveries. His passion for his work and desire to help people shows. I will continue to visit and refer people to Dr. Shah. He and his staff have earned a lifetime customer. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

I'm 3 months post tip rhinoplasty and very pleased with my results! Dr. Shah explained the procedure and costs in full detail, and answered my repetitive questions leading up to the surgery. My surgery was performed in office under local anesthesia as I requested. It was completely painless and quick. I was given a blanket to keep warm and my option of music, which I preferred to be turned down low. That morning I had a severe allergy flare up from hay fever which caused me to sneeze uncontrollably DURING my surgery. Dr. Shah handled the situation in a calm and patient matter despite how frustrating it must have been. My nose turned out PERFECT despite how much I was sneezing. My recovery was quick and I looked normal after about 1 week of surgery! I was provided with a pre and post op vitamin package that I believe contributed to the rapid healing of my nose. I would highly recommend Dr. Shah to anyone who wants tip rhinoplasty and would choose him again for any future surgeries!

Do NOT go to Dr. Shah. He is always in a rush and does not do a thorough job. There are plenty of others to go to in the Denver area...

I consider myself lucky to have chosen Shah Aesthetic Surgery. Dr. Shah is an extremely talented, honest, professional and knowledgeable surgeon. I had an abnormality on my leg from a childhood injury which set me back from doing a lot of the normal things most of my life. Dr. Shah surpassed my hopes and expectations and I couldn't be more happier with my results. What a life changing experience this has been for me! Thank you Dr. Shah and your wonderful staff.

Dr. Manish H. Shah permanently burned CO2 laser peel burn injury damage into my skin/face. There are lines, gouges and craters (loss of volume) that were NOT present on my skin/face prior to Dr. Shah's aggressive CO2 laser procedure. There was ZERO pre-procedure medical care despite a prescribed prescription/skin care protocol (Dr. Shah and staff didn't bother) two weeks prior to the procedure. When I expressed extreme dissatisfaction with the damage Dr. Shah burned into my skin/face, he cancelled the remaining appointments in writing denying me medical care meant to follow-up the procedure. Dr. Shah offered me a complementary fat grafting treatment (approx. $5, 000) in writing in an attempt to resolve this issue, but I would never trust him again. Dr. Shah has tried to blame previous damage, but it was minuscule compared to the extensive, extreme damage from Dr. Shah's CO2 laser procedure. I'm devastated. I would give ANYTHING to have my skin as it was before Dr. Shah's aggressive CO2 laser procedure. I filed a claim with The Doctors Company against Dr. Manish H. Shah, DR0043479, 101 University Blvd #220, Denver, CO 80206, but their alleged thorough investigation was cursory at best and did not include viewing the permanent CO2 laser peel burn injury damage burned into my skin/face by Dr. Manish Shah's aggressive CO2 laser. TDC relied on photographs which can be digitally-altered and time stamps manipulated. Photographs are NOT proof, and definitely not evidence. A claims investigation cannot be deemed complete without first-hand viewing of the damage which I requested both verbally and written on several occasions. The Doctors Company denied my claim TWICE without a first-hand viewing of the CO2 laser peel burn injury damage to my skin/face. TDC's so-called 'independent expert' also ignored evidence of substandard medical practice in my medical record and email documentation which document the lack of pre-/post-procedure medical care. If Dr. Shah responds to this review, it doesn't matter what he says. I'm speaking truth. Absolute nightmare experience. Edit: I knew Dr. Shah would respond. DR. SHAH PERMANENTLY BURNED LAYERS OF SKIN OUT OF MY FACE. His claim that it was low levels and improved my skin is untrue. Dr. Shah's damage to my skin/face is far more extensive and extreme than previous damage he refers to. I'm devastated. I would give ANYTHING to have my skin/face as it was before Dr. Shah's aggressive CO2 laser procedure. Dr. Manish H. Shah DAMAGED my skin/face PERMANENTLY; CO2 LASER PEEL BURN INJURY. ZERO pre-/post-procedure medical care. When I expressed dissatisfaction at the damage he burned into my skin/face, Dr. Shah cancelled remaining appointments meant to follow-up the CO2 laser procedure denying me medical care. DR. SHAH OFFERED ME A COMPLEMENTARY FAT GRAFTING PROCEDURE (approx. $5,000) IN WRITING in an attempt to resolve this issue. Dr, Shah knows he damaged my skin, but he refuses to make this right as he said he would. This experience with Dr. Manish Shah was the WORST, most HORRIFIC medical experience I've encountered. My overall impression was that of an assembly line of slap dash medical procedures with little concern for patient well-being. Dr. Shah and The Doctors Company are trying to silence me, but I refuse to be silenced. I will be relentless in speaking out against the CO2 laser peel burn damage that Dr. Shah burned into my face.

Dr. Shah has been so informative, kind, and professional. I highly recommend him. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!

So I've been trying a lot harder to take care of my skin lately... I try to buy the best products and really protect it from the sun. If you live in Colorado, that's easier said than done because we spend any free time we have outside playing. I had previous acne scarring which Dr. Shah treats with micro needling. LOOOOOOOOOVVE!! I also pick up all of my skin care from him. The office is in a great location and not too far from home. I rarely ever wait longer than a few minutes to see Dr. Shah. The man really knows his stuff and doesn't mind explaining things to you. He has great bedside manners. 5 stars for sure!

Went in for a rhinoplasty with Dr. Shah and was very disappointed with the results. The simulations looked nothing like how I did afterward- he didn't take down my tip enough, so it looked much larger than it did previously. I asked to have my "German bump" reduced- it was shaved down from the top, which I was thrilled about, but not from the sides - still giving my nose a bumpy and strange look. After results that I wasn't pleased with (and being told that it was just "shading" and that I should just push on the bones to make them go where I wanted them to go), I had an accident that left my nose broken. I desperately tried to work with Dr. Shah to figure out how to get it fixed, and his office continually gave me the run-around and cancel appointments with me until I ran out of time to have it fixed (the nose starts healing into the new position after about a week) and went through my insurance instead. Any reviews I've posted explaining my experience, Dr. Shah is extremely defensive and borderline offensive towards me. Regardless, I think others should know my experience and take it into consideration! My advice would be to pick someone else to entrust your face with! --- Update: as a response to Dr. Shah's comment, yes, my procedure was a few years ago, though that is not relevant. I am having a revision completed by Dr. Stephen Weber, who has made it apparent that these issues were in fact issues and are correctable. I think it would be pretty crazy to go back to a physician who did not do what he said he would do, and failed me as his patient when I experienced trauma to my nose. Your patients deserve better, and I hope you've improved your practice since I had my procedure. Update #2: Dr. Shah keeps changing the comment he leaves, I'm not sure why. The previous one was very defensive. As a follow-up, Dr. Weber is FANTASTIC! Go to him!

Those pictures of Dr. Shah make me smile! He's SO darned cute! He's also very professional, personable, brilliant, and extremely talented! I couldn't be more pleased with the work he has done for me. I can't imagine entrusting my plastic surgery to anyone else! His entire staff goes above and beyond. They are all so kind, friendly, helpful and professional - they are all second to none! I drive from Nebraska (4 hours) to get to Dr. Shah and his group. If you are considering having any work done, I strongly encourage you to seek Dr. Shah and his staff!

I had a great experience with two procedures with Dr. Shah. Rebecca and Brenda were great as well. The cost for the procedures were very reasonable, and they took great care of me both during the procedures and the recovery. If you've been on the fence about getting a procedure, go see Dr. Shah!

I had liposuction of my entire abdomen, hips, waist, etc. as well as front bra rolls in December. Every day since then, my results look better and better. I hated my muffin top since I was a child and my shape made me feel unfeminine and made clothes shopping a nightmare. I was only ever trying to hide my shape. Now, I'm excited to shop and proud of my figure. It looks completely natural and Dr. Shah carved out the figure that I always felt I was meant to have. My scars are already nearly invisible. I really regret not having this done years ago! Dr. Shah, Brenda, and the entire office were exceedingly patient with my scheduling issues and worked with my time restraints to make my procedure possible. The whole experience has been life-changing and I'd never have believed that fat removal would impact how I feel as a woman so much. Also, the supplements I was given to aid in healing cleared up the acne I've battled for years! That's been such an amazing bonus!

I went to Dr. Shah to get some injections for a natural looking face lift. He convinced me that to look younger I need to get a chemical peel that was so strong it can only be performed by a licensed physician. After reading all the pros and cons he assured me that the procedure will go well and that it is what I need. I trusted him, so I agreed to start with the chemical peel. Big mistake! I was only 39 years old and he performed to strong of a chemical peel which left me with multiple layers of severe and permanent scarring on my forehead and hypo-pigmentation which means the pigment has been permanently stripped from parts of my face. I can not ever tan, because then you can really see the difference. During the actual procedure I told him that it was too much and that I could not take the burning anymore. I was in tears and felt like I am going to pass out. He told me: "You women who never had children don't know what pain is!" His other remark was that I should just imagine living in the middle east and have acid thrown on my face. He would not take it off. I have news for him. I did have a child 1.5 years later and child birth is not as painful as the procedure!!! He has never apologized to me and just denied that anything happened. I tried to get a lawsuit against him, but it is extremely hard to find a doctor who is willing to testify against another doctor. We found out that his notes were incomplete and that he lied in his notes as well. I would be VERY careful and want everyone to know that there are far better doctors out there who will not try to degrade their patients and who are not hackers like this one. Be very careful and do your research!!!

I consulted several surgeons after I had decided I wanted to get a "Mommy Makeover." A top doctor I saw did not do these procedures, but highly recommended Dr. Shah. From the first consultation I knew he was the one I could trust. Besides being highly educated & skilled in Cosmetic Surgery he is the nicest, most congenial man. Each procedure had it's challenges, but one cannot argue with results! I currently see Dr. Shah for my skin care treatments; the last time was a few months before my daughter's wedding. I have been very happy with my long association with the good doctor and his awesome staff. There are so many option he can offer for whatever you may be interested in achieving. He never makes recommendations that are not in your best interest & I like that very much. He is simply without question the best in Colorado.

Dr. Shah is incredibly talented at what he does. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel comfortable and answers any questions you may have. His work speaks for itself, but bonus points for being a great person who is helpful and personable. He did a great job - highly recommended!!

I am 6 weeks into my tip rhinoplasty surgery and am so happy with the results. From day one everyone was amazing. Brenda at the front desk is always friendly and more than happy to accommodate. Dr. Shah explained the entire procedure in detail. I felt completely safe and comfortable in his hands. He even let me play my own music during the procedure. I opted out of taking Valium to numb the pain for the anesthesia shots and he did a great job talking me through it and telling me when to breath. The procedure itself was somewhat trying. There was no pain but a lot of tugging and pulling. In retrospect, the Valium probably would have helped me relax, but using my breath worked just fine. There was only point at the end when some of the anesthesia wore off and I could feel some stitches. By then, getting the shots, again, would have caused more pain and I relied on focusing on my breath. Overall, I give the experience a 9 out 10. And, the results 10 out of 10.

Dr, Shah is great - his work and his knowledge is incredible! He and his staff are like family and the results of my procedure (Gynecomastia) are amazing and it changed my mental look at how I feel about myself!! Great experience!

Dr. Shah is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and thoughtful. I have recommended him to others and will continue to recommend him. He is honest in his assessment, encourages questions, and does not assumes that surgery is always the best option. He is one of the few Doctors I have ever had, who gave me his personal cell phone number so that I could communicate directly with him when you have questions and concerns (he does this for all patients). I love my outcome, even several years later. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shah. He's not only one of my Favorite docs, he's also one of my favorite human beings.

Dr Shah is a genius his skin care is fantastic.Brenda and Rebecca are wonderful and very helpful. I have seen Dr. Shah for the last seven years. I feel like a new person I love it. I would suggest everyone to go to Dr Shah for their procedures. Not only does he have a inviting smile he is very welcoming and makes you feel special. I always say Dr Shah has magical hands. This last procedure I had is amazing. I would never go to another doctor. Dr Shah is number one.

Like Jackie , I also had a bad experience with dr shah in my rhinoplasty . Also had the "hump" and without the results he was so confident about.

I had a tip rhinoplasty done by Dr. Shah and enjoyed his very kind and professional staff. The procedure was easy and while I'm still healing I love how natural looking the results are. Other doctors I consulted with encouraged a full rhinoplasty, and I really only sought to address the tip as I liked my nasal bridge shape. Dr. Shah's talent and excellent training provided for a comfortable procedure and the beautiful balance I was seeking. I feel gorgeous, and can't thank him enough! I highly recommend Dr. Shah!

2006 at the age of past middle age I went through a horrendous divorce that showed up on my face...I wanted to address the sagging and acne scarred face and crooked nose. In 2007- 08 Dr. Manish Shah was recommended to me by Dr. G. who had performed a procedure for me many years back. I met with Dr. Shah for the 2 procedures I wanted (rhinoplasty and a mid-face lift.) They were not done at the same time. To be sure I also met with numerous other plastic surgeons in Denver and one in Colorado Springs. Let's start with the nose surgery: he delivered the initial results I was looking for, which was to simply make the tip of my nose straight with the rest of my nose. Some time after this surgery I developed severe nose bleeds on the left nostril side and never on the right side. No trauma ever after this surgery to create such an issue. I have learned to live with this condition and my Primary Dr. said there's nothing she can do. It's speculation that the sutures Dr. Shah used did not stay put is probably what created this issue. Further, I have a high pitched wheezing sound when I breathe, especially at night. Same left nostril. Sutures are a sore spot for me where Dr. Shah is concerned, because my mid-face lift resulted in visible scarring that he himself stated were due to the sutures he used that didn't stay put and subsequently stopped using them after the horrible results of my face lift surgery. Loved being his guinea pig! Read on, later he will also blame me for the scarring. Today, almost 9 years after these surgeries my only regret is I did not sue him for the issues I will have to deal with the rest of my life. I have noticeable scars behind my ears, down the sides of each ear and one scar that extends to the high part of my jaw line. I had to stop wearing my hair up years ago and learned to strategically apply makeup and do my hair so it covers (barely) the areas just noted. By the way, most people still notice and I'm frequently asked if I was in a bad car accident. I also dealt with residual pain for years around my ears which felt like he chopped them off and sewed them back on. Some months after the mid-face lift surgery, Dr. Shah not happily agreed to do rescission surgery to attempt to mitigate the thick scars, but with little success. I refused to pay him for this procedure. He had an attitude when he did this surgery in his office in a chair with some local numbing shots and I think some Valium. I was mostly awake. I spent no less then the next 5 years undergoing expensive derma-planing, micro-needling, etc...by the late and wonderful Patricia Ritter, RN to help reduce the scars, and it did help some. I read the glowing reviews of him on YELP and other sites and hope he has improved his surgical and patient skills. Again, he blamed me for the excessive scarring after my face lift, even though I followed post surgery instructions to the TEE! He said it was probably due to me moving my head too much. I exceeded the statute of limitations to sue him, and I will always regret that. Years later as I thought about how potential patients should know my story, I decided to post my first ever review of Dr. Shah. My blood pressure is elevated just reliving the post nightmare of seeing the grotesque scars that I still see, and remembering his attitude toward me. Amazing how nice he was till he got my many thousands of dollars I paid him. In closing, I am no stranger to the fact that all surgeries have risks and I willingly accepted them in good FAITH that he would not create life-time issues I will always have to deal with. I've had other facial and body plastic surgeries with no lasting issues....I know the risks well, but I still know Doctors who perform the operations have a responsibility too their patients legally, ethically, and medically. Advice: Ask whatever Dr. you are considering to take a scalpel to your face or body if they've ever been sued by a former patient, the outcome of the case, and are they willing to correct for free any surgical issues if it should need be. If they get snazzy for you asking.....run don't walk and find a Dr. that will most importantly be there for you after the surgery. Almost 9 years later, still dealing with the after effects of allowing Dr. Shah to do my surgeries. Do your homework. Don't let them tell you they can never please some patients. Me being pleased or not pleased does not excuse the results of my 2 major surgeries Dr. Shah performed on me.

This guy is great. I'm in my 50's and he has removed years of aging and sun damage from my face without surgery and without making me look like I've had anything "done". The most interesting thing so far has been the diamond polar treatments to tighten up the skin along my jawline. And I just did the Perfect Peel which was best chemical peel I've had and I've had a few. I also like the fact that he does all the botox and filler injections himself instead of some offices where they have an aesthetician do that. If I decide that I need to go the surgery route down the road, he'll be my surgeon of choice.

Dr Shah is the best. I would highly recommend him. I had rhinoplasty over a year ago. After other consultations where they told me to "pick a nose I like" I was happy to find Dr. Shah. He actually takes your nose and face in to consideration. His policy is that he would rather be conservative, then give you a nose that doesn't look good on you or would cause you to have problems breathing. So I went in for my initial surgery. I really couldn't believe how little pain, swelling, and bruising I had. I was ready to go out in public after only a week and basically only took Tylenol. I never needed anything stronger. You then have frequent check ups with him where he takes pictures and monitors your healing. He has you wait a full year until your nose is fully healed, then he will do some slight revisions to if you would like for just a small fee that covers the supply costs. He never charges you again for his services. He just wants you to be happy, but within reason. This is what I like the most about him. He really always has your best interest in mind. Also, he give you his personal cell phone and calls you himself after surgery to make sure you are doing ok. His staff is all really nice. Jennifer, the receptionist, is awesome. She knows who you are when you walk in and remembers where you work, recent events, etc. and asks about them.

I found Dr. Shaw on RealSelf, I was looking for some skin care advice and read some of his comments. I don't live in Denver so I couldn't come for a consult but was very impressed with his comments and so I emailed his practice. He got back to me personally and spent a few emails advising me on what to use and how to treat my skin. Needless to say my skin looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't tell you how many doctors I've been to who are too busy, or charge a ton for bad advice, he did neither! If you are looking for a genuine doctor who will go out of his way to help you and give you great treatment, go to Dr. Shaw. My skin looks the best it's ever been, and I've yet to meet him in person!

I went to Dr. Shah for a mommy makeover. This included a breast lift, tummy tuck, liposuction of the upper arms, abdomen and flanks. I could not be more pleased. I felt I had good pre-op instructions from Dr. Shah, good hospital care, and good follow up care. It is now two months after, and I think my results are amazing. He set back the clock 20 years for me. I would trust him with a family member.

I could not be more pleased with my results from my tummy tuck and breast reduction. Dr Shah has incredible clinical knowledge and he truly cares about his patients. I have worked in Healthcare for 30 years and was extremely nervous choosing to be on the patient side of process. Will I have a complications? What does the recovery involve? Will I be in pain? What can I expect next? During each step of the process I have felt extremely supported. Dr Shah only works with the best surgical centers, anthesethologists , nurses and office staff. Everyone is amazing!

Dr. Shah is THE surgeon to go to - Wonderful, friendly, and a Master of his specialty. Just by speaking with him, you are aware of his expertise and professionalism. He truly cares about his patients' concerns and happiness. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, both in his office and through surgery. Not only is Dr. Shah great, but the Office Staff is warm and welcoming. Dr. Shah has helped me feel like a true woman for the first time in my life. After becoming very ill at an adolescent age, and dealing with a 105+ lbs weight gain and 80+ lbs weight loss, my skin had been stretched, my breasts were sagging, and my thighs had been affected. Needless to say, I was very, very self conscious. Being in my 20's, I wanted to enjoy feeling how a normal 20-something-year-old should feel, especially after my medical cure. Dr. Shah helped my husband and I choose the right size breast implants for my body-type and activity level and walked us through every option and how each procedure would go. I underwent surgery and had breast augmentation and thigh liposuction. Surgery and recovery went exceptionally well. Three months out and I continue to be happier and happier as each day goes by. The results are even better than I expected. Dr. Shah made my dreams come true. I continue to see him to further work on other things I wish to fix. I trust him completely and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

I feel honored to write a review on Yelp regarding Dr. Manish Shah, as he is exceptional as a surgeon and as a personable doctor in the office. Dr Shah takes the necessary time to discuss the problem (for me it was my nose needing some tweaking) and how he would approach the correction through surgery. I'm impressed that he took photographs of the face at each of my appointments--and gave me a thumb drive with the photos--so there would be a recorded history of before and after. Dr. Shah is one who has you feeling very at ease and confidant in his work. His resume is most impressive (found on his website) and is why I selected him. The office staff is likewise professional and personable---a more desired combination for a medical office visit.

If this review helps one person it is worth writing. I had the absolute worst experience with Dr. Shah, not only did I find him condescending with horrible bedside manner, he is a terrible doctor and does not know what he is doing. I came to him for a rhinoplasty, I had a severely deviated septum and hump in my nose that I was hoping to have removed. I trusted that Dr Shah could do the job, as he said he could and what a HUGE mistake that was. Over 6 months after my surgery I had horrible black eyes, I still couldn't breathe and the hump in my nose was still there. After talking to many friends and finding out that this in fact was not normal I looked for another dr's opinion and in doing so found out that Dr. Shah had completely crushed my nose, he had broken the bones in my nose into tiny pieces which explained why I couldn't breathe and why my eyes were so horribly black. I talked to Dr Shah about the situation and tried to get him to do the right thing (refund at least half of the money I had paid him for the surgery), he chose not to. I am very fortunate as I was able to find a new dr that could fix the problems that he had created with my nose, but I am writing this because if I can somehow stop someone from making the same mistake I did by letting Dr Shah operate on me, then I am at least helping someone.

This man is hands down the BEST plastic surgeon in Colorado. I had seen Dr. Shah back in July for a consultation regarding my deviated septum, he was warm, personable, extremely intelligent and very informative. I'd seen a few different surgeons in the Denver area including Dr. Shah and had decided to go with another well known surgeon due to expenses. Unfortunately, due to insurance denying the functional portion of my surgery the DAY BEFORE my scheduled surgery day I was unable to go forward with this doctor, needles to say I was completely devastated. That day I called Dr. Shah (Spoke with him personally), he put me on his surgery schedule right away and even discounted his surgeons fee $500 so I was able to pay easier. Having surgery fall through with the previous surgeon was a complete blessing, Dr. Shah and his team have been absolutely wonderful to me and my family. Not to mention I am so incredible pleased with the results!! I now have AMAZING breathability and the cute feminine nose I always wanted :). From the bottom of my heart thank you Dr. Shah!!!
