His practice is conveniently located on Stone Oak Parkway, in the “Stone Oak” part of San Antonio TX. In addition to maintaining a successful private practice, Dr. Shah is an Assistant Clinical Professor in the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center San Antonio. He is board certified by the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Our practice goal is to provide surgical excellence as well as safe and compassionate care. Dr. Shah believes that his role is to educate patients as to the options that are available. Then, the patient always decides. You will never feel pressured or compelled to undergo a procedure. Some patients are not suitable candidates for aesthetic surgery and Dr. Shah will sometimes advise against an intervention.
The procedures and information on this website are discussed in “average case” terms; individual variations do exist.A “strong” and well-defined jaw and chin have traditionally been attractive physical traits. As such, some patients present with concerns about a weak or recessed chin.A more aesthetic chin may be achieved by placement of a chin implant. Interestingly, a balanced chin improves overall facial appearance and may actually influence nasal projection.For example, a weak chin may increase the severity of an overprojected nose.
Good overall medical health, as well as realistic expectations, are necessary. It is also key to understand all aspects of the surgery and aftercare. A pleasing, balanced profile can be achieved by inserting an implant to augment a weak chin, resulting in improved facial harmony.Another possibility for improvement through chin surgery is submental liposuction in which excess fatty tissue is removed to redefine the chin or neckline.
Your consultation with Dr. Shah will help you decide on the type of surgery that addresses your concernsYour selection of a qualified facial plastic surgeon is extremely important. During the consultation, Dr. Shah will thoroughly examine your chin and jaw.In some instances, chin augmentation may be suggested as an adjunct to rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) because a small chin can make the nose appear even larger. Dr. Shah will weigh other factors such as your individual anatomy, ethnic background, age and skin type.
Generally speaking, to augment the chin, two different surgical approaches are available.Dr. Shah may make the incision in the natural crease line just under the chin.Another option is an incision inside the mouth. By gently elevating and dissecting the tissues, Dr. Shah creates a pocket where an implant can be inserted. This implant, made of synthetic material that feels much like the natural tissue normally found in the chin, is available in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. This allows custom fitting of the implant to the patient’s individual facial configuration. After implantation, Dr. Shah uses fine sutures to close the incision.
