Procedures and techniques named

5D rhinoplastypioneered innovative procedures like the five-layer neck procedure, 5D rhinoplasty, and no-narcotics recovery in rhinoplasty surgery
Preservation RhinoplastyPreservation Rhinoplasty is an approach that uses three principles of preservation for patients seeking a rhinoplasty with natural results instead of being overly grafted and would require future revisions.
Scarless rhinoplastyScarless rhinoplasty is where an incision is made inside the nose instead of externally. This leaves the patient with no visible scarring.
Rhinoplasty: open allows direct visualization, more controlOpen rhinoplasty has the distinct advantage of direct visualization of the cartilage. However, perhaps more important is the ability to manipulate and alter nasal shape with more control, precision, and even in ways not possible with closed rhinoplasty.
Brow lift: natural brow position, less tired eyesDr. Shah’s approach to brow lifting is to lift the brows in a natural position so that the eyes look more open and less tired.
Trichophytic browliftThe trichophytic browlift makes an incision within the fine hair of the anterior hairline.
Blepharoplasty: lower lid removes excess fat, puffinessA lower lid blepharoplasty can be performed to remove the excess fat that causes this puffiness.
Buccal fat removal: candidates with fullness in middle facePatients can be a candidates for buccal fat removal in Chicago with Dr. Anil Shah if they have any fullness in the middle portion of their face.
Buccal fat removal: recover at home same dayYes, patients recover at home the same day as a buccal fat removal. Patients flying from afar are recommended to stay overnight prior to flying out.
Chin implant: alloplastic silicone or gore-texChin implant: Use of an alloplastic implant (can be silicone or gore-tex typically) to add projection to the chin

Before you book here

Verify three things yourself, whichever practice you choose: certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, or Royal College certification (FRCSC) in Canada; whether the operating facility is accredited or the surgeon holds hospital privileges for your exact procedure; and how many of that operation they perform each year. Our guide to choosing a plastic surgeon covers how to check each one.
