A neck lift can dramatically improve your appearance and restore a smooth, firm, sculpted appearance to your neck and jawline. Your neck is constantly in motion, and the delicate skin is often the first place to begin to reveal the signs of age. If you are bothered by the appearance of your neck, Dr. Shah at Shah Plastic Surgery can perform a custom neck lift to restore a youthful look by removing excess skin, fat, folds, or vertical bands.

Dr. Shah. Ahh! He strives for excellence in every way and takes pride in his work and in making patients (realistic) dreams come true. I am incredibly pleased with my personal results, the care I received before, during, and following my liposuction. He and his exceptional staff reply promptly to concerns, even after hours. Highly, highly recommend!!

I recently had a facelift by Dr. Shah and his team. The results are spectacular. It was everything I hoped for and so much more. I feel beautiful again. My neck is more beautiful than it was when I was a teenager. The care they have taken to make sure I was comfortable and informed was excellent. I am more than happy and highly recommend them.

I have had the opportunity to see Dr. Shah on two separate occasions to have two different cosmetic surgeries done. Dr. Shah has successfully performed both breast augmentation and rhino/septoplasty on me with great results. Dr. Shah and his staff are the best. Though both of my procedures were complicated, Dr, Shah's expertise and finesse got me results that far exceeded my expectations with very little bruising or scaring. Both of my surgeries produced very natural results and I could not be happier. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up! Keep up the great work!!!

If someone needed/wanted plastic surgery i would recommend them to go to Dr. Shah’s office.
Dr. Shah did an amazing job. And i really love the results of my surgery. Also I enjoy going to Dr. Shahs office for my post op appointments because the staff is nice, and try to make you feel comfortable during the time you are there.

Wish I could give zero, after a punch biopsy, my nose was a mess, after a consult regarding a revision Dr.Shah said a scar is a scar, could be better or worse ,or he could refer me for laser treatments, said since your insisting on revision, he would do it, I was just asking him after his mistake, I left that visit in tears, called an amazing dermatologist & he stepped up & 4 procedures 7 months later, its almost fixed but will never be as before.
I have seen Dr.Shah for years, referred him to others, the dr that came in room that day I had never met in attitude or behavior, I had always thought

This is the most awesome Dr. ever. He did exactly what I wanted, and even advised me to do a little more. My husband and I have waited along time to do this, and we are both extremely happy with his work. I plan on having more done by him in the future.

Dr Shah is absolutely amazing!!! I did my homework for several months before making this important decision. I totally made the right choice by choosing Dr Shah and his wonderful staff. I can't say enough good things about them!
I wanted more volume without a lift and Dr Shah delivered! My breasts look even better than the pre-op "simulation." I couldn't be happier!!!! They look so natural and full....exactly what I wanted!
