Dr. Anil Rajendra Shah, MD

It's been over a year since I had my hair transplant with Dr. Shah and Dr. Chughtai, and thank god I did this. My hair line had been slowly receding since I was 25 and I almost accepted that I was going to lose it all. I turned 35 and kept seeing ads for hair transplants on TV and figured it was a sign. I went to a whole lot of offices seeing what they could do for me, but none of them didn't sit with me. After talking with Dr. Shah, Dr. Chughtai and their hair team, I felt like this was the place. Aesthetic Scalp has been taking care of me from the consultation to the surgery to today! I'll admit, the first couple of months I wasn't seeing the results that I wanted, but the doctors assured me that this was normal. Around five or six months was when I started seeing a difference. A year out, I'm feeling like a different person. I still take my Nutrafol and I will still go in for regenerative medicine treatments. All of that really does help. Thanks, Dr. Shah & Dr. Chughtai! You're the best!

I wanted to thank thank thank Dr. Shah for helping me breathe again! Dr. Shah and his staff have been amazing from beginning to beyond! Thank you!

Dr. Shah's the best in the business. I initially came in to see Dr. Shah for a rhinoplasty a few years ago and I was so happy I got it done. My breathing has been amazing since and I love how amazing it looks. I still come into his office for Botox injections and I just love the care I get from everyone there!

It's been since I had my nose done. Love my nose! Dr. Shah is amazing!

Dr. Shah is amazing! I come into see Dr. Shah for my Botox and fillers but I also had a rhinoplasty a few years ago. I do a lot of travelling and I have seen a few doctors for fillers or Botox, but honestly, Dr. Shah is the best! Whenever I'm in Chicago, I always make sure that I see Dr. Shah or his wife, Dr. Chughtai. Simply the best and the only doctors I trust!

Dr. Shah is the best! I had a rhinoplasty done by him about a year ago and I love my nose! I flew in from Montreal and I wasn't looking for anything special. Just something that looked natural to my face and Dr. Shah delivered. Such a confidence booster! All of my friends said that I looked fine before my surgery, but I did this for myself. Now, my nose is the last thing I think about when I go out! Thanks Dr. Shah!

I went to Dr. Shah looking to make my face thinner. I lost a lot of weight the past couple of years but my face still looked round. There was nothing that I could do about that. Dr. Shah removed buccal fat from my cheeks and some fat deep in my neck. I couldn't be happier!

I am from Japan. Dr. Shah made my nose more prominent. My nose is no more close to my face. I love my nose. Thank you Dr Shah!

Dr. Shah is amazing!!! I broke my nose 25 years ago and I've been having problems breathing ever since. One of my friends had a nose job and he came highly recommended. Six months in and I can finally breathe properly!

Came in a year ago to get my hump removed and a natural outcome. Fast forward a year later. No words can describe the depression, aging, and anxiety this surgery has caused me. He literally SCOOPED the hump off as if with a spoon and closed my nose back up while narrowing my nostrils. Now there is a hump an inch beneath where my old one was. I'm left with very deep and visible scars between my eyebrows and where he opened my nose and nostrils, and my tip is dropping. I have nasolabial folds now and they are so pronounced and aged from nostril narrowing. Left me with a polly beak. Consultations waiting times are hours long and consultations and follow ups were literally seconds. He said he would fix it at no cost, yet I was charged $500 for a security deposit for revision surgery date, and $1100 for anesthesiologists. I thought I'd give him another chance since his instagram is filled with recent stories with successful outcomes. Had to reschedule surgery date since we didn't even make a consultation of what this surgery's outcome would be like, and I needed to know that we were going in the right direction. Consultation was maybe a 5 minutes longer than last one (10-15 minutes), now he edited the new 3D images into the same edits from the first consultation. I thought fine, I'll give it another chance, since it wouldn't cost supposedly. Big mistake. I was immediately charged $500 to secure the date, but allowed to pay a week later, and charged $1100 for anesthesiologists. Two weeks before surgery my gut began telling me to not do this, that it would ruin my face further. Going back in my mind to when the nurse that removed my cast had forgotten who I was, and out of all the e-mails I've sent about my male to female transition hadn't gotten to the Dr until our last consultation where I had to tell him myself. As if signs were all around, I spoke to my physician who told me they'd just opened their own transgender surgery clinic and that insurance would cover for facial feminization if I wanted to fix my nose with someone else all at once. I dwelled hardly because I'd already payed Dr Shah and really wanted to give him another chance. So I went online and looked at his reviews. So many faceless positive reviews and many relatable negative ones. I followed my gut. Tried to cancel my appointment a week before to avoid their same-day no show $100 fee and knowing I won't get my $500 security back but at least the $1100. No. Not only I didn't get my money back after a semi-botched surgery, I was told by his assistant that they weren't even going to charge me $700+ for cancelling and that it was in their policy. A policy I was never told about. I learned big time with this one. Do NOT settle for the pretty/showy instagram/social media profile. This doctor is only capable of very minor revisions but not transformations. I was lucky it didn't go worse, but was I really lucky overall? If you truly love your face to go to these lengths of surgery, find the best, and do NOT go here, and if you do, make your consultation and 'feel' and find out for yourself. You'll find you need to get out of there asap.

I am so happy with my facelift! I had my surgery with Dr. Shah just after Thanksgiving and I can't be anymore amazed! I feel so much younger and all my friends are noticing! I wish I could give him ten stars!

Love my beautiful nose

I’m a girl from Southern California, who loves the beach life! I spend my time outdoors year-round often in a bikini and surfing. I’m not shy with food, totally dedicated to my diet and working out. However, genetically, the ladies in my family have a buddha belly : ( I researched Drs. Anil Shah and Sameea Chughtai who practice aesthetics in Chicago. I did not want to be influenced by the L.A./Beverly Hills look. I wanted a more natural and honest result. I was ready to try COOLSCULPTING for my abdomen. It has been about two months, and I love the results! This was a big decision. COOLSCULPTING is noninvasive. I walked in and out the same day after a few hours without any anesthesia. After, I had mild tenderness for about a week. The night of the procedure, I treated myself to a fabulous dinner at Schwa (on par with Vespertine in L.A). Thank you Drs. Shah and Chughtai as well as your amazing staff : ) All my questions were answered ahead of time. I am free to continue my love for life and LOOKING GOOD!!! I recommend treating yourself and try COOLSCULPTING on any of your problems areas!

love my eyes now!!!

I’ve had my nose lips Botox, done here. I get more compliments on my nose. Dr. Shah is known for making prettiest nose. I had no bruising, minimal swelling. I had a chance to preview my nose which was also cool. It allowed me to not be so nervous when I had my cast on. Now I look and feel and breathe like never before.
