We go at self-love differently. For some patients it’s about fixing the outside and it helps them learn to love themselves more. However, sometimes that’s not enough, and patients have to look deeper, and one of the best ways of doing that is therapy. This was my conversation with Julian, a licensed therapist, who talks about how patients and his clients can really learn a lot of themselves from the inside. And I actually think that’s harder. I feel like I have the tools that help patients learn to love themselves from the outside. But for some patients, that’s not enough or some patients don’t even need my services. So our worlds intersect in this conversation with Julian. Listen to the full podcast on YouTube, the link is in my bio.

Ok, here’s a common myth: You need a full facelift to get a snatched neck. 🛑
Take a look at this patient. She is in her mid-40s and was actually told by others that she needed a full facelift. I disagreed.
It is actually much more complicated than just pulling skin. I have a study coming up that details exactly why, but here is the reality:
Patients in their 40s (and even 50s) can often get incredible results with a Neck Lift ONLY, depending on specific factors:
1️⃣ Age & Skin Elasticity
2️⃣ Type of Neck Lift (Hint: Not all are created equal. My targets deep structures, not just skin)
3️⃣ Underlying Muscle Tone
4️⃣ Volumetric Calculation
She avoided the extra downtime of a facelift and still got this level of definition.

Sometimes patients undergo a procedure elsewhere and do not get the results they hoped for. In this patient’s case, our goal was to straighten and refine her nose. She had several small lumps and bumps along the bridge, which can happen when a traditional chisel is used.
We were able to straighten her nose using a Piezo ultrasonic device along with a few other techniques, including the 5D Rhinoplasty approach, to create a smoother profile. It is important for revision rhinoplasty patients to understand that I can significantly improve their nose, but perfection is not always possible.
That said, I am very excited about her progress. Her nose functions and breathes better, and aesthetically, it now fits her facial features beautifully.

I treat patients from all over the world in both Chicago and New York. Many of my male patients want a neck lift without the visible scar behind the ear. Most surgeons will tell them it can’t be done… but guess what? They might be wrong.
This patient was able to have his neck lifted without the typical scar. That’s the power of the 5 Layer Neck. His neck looks smoother, younger, and more contoured. In fact, many of my male patients function better afterward because we lift the tongue into a more natural anatomic position. This hyoid repositioning is what makes the procedure so different.
If you’re interested in this procedure, send me a dm or visit my website: ShahFacialPlastics.com for articles, before and afters and more.

One of my favorite things to do is balance the face. Rhinoplasty can help reshape and soften the features of the nose, almost like a filter but in real life. This beautiful patient wanted to look like herself, just enhanced.

I'll keep it simple. If you have a puff under your eyes, consider getting a blepharoplasty. It's easy. You don't have to go to sleep. And a lot of my patients are looking reasonable in a day or two.

And because I use a micro incision with the scars now inside, there's no sign that you've had any sort of surgery at all. You avoid the bluish Tyndall effect.

If you have a hollow, consider filler or consider fat. And sometimes patients will get a combination of all of them.
