Facelift Before & After

Patient is a 59-year-old female who over the last 5 years has noticed progressive loss of her jawline, neck fullness, and lack of definition. She feels she looks more “matronly” and misses her youthful eyes, which were once her best feature. She reports lip volume loss, a down-turned mouth, significant facial wrinkles, and irregular pigmentation. She misses appearing vital and attractive, as this was once part of her identity.  Photos were taken 6 months after surgery.

Patient is a 73-year-old female who thought she looked much older than she felt. She thought that her neck had become quite matronly, and did not like the loss of the youthful definition of her cheekbones, her puffy eyes and the deep wrinkles between her eyebrows, and her downturned mouth that imparted a sour tone to her face. She wanted to appear younger, more youthful and more attractive.

Patient is a 49-year-old female who had a previous facelift with another surgeon and was not satisfied with the results. Specifically, she feels that her jowls returned quite rapidly after the prior surgery, and never achieved the more youthful facial contours that she was promised. She feels that she looks matronly and sad. She wants to look younger and more beautiful.

58-year-old female who has always felt attractive but has noticed the last 5 or so years the development of significant jowls and loss of her youthful cheekbones and defined jawline. She would also like to address the hollowing beneath her eyes but has been hesitant about pursuing plastic surgery as her friends look too pulled and “scary”. She wants to look younger, more voluptuous, and recapture her “mojo”.

Patient is a 64-year-old female who desired to look younger and more beautiful. She specifically did not like the loss of definition of her neck and brow and had developed jowls and a downturned mouth which she felt made her look angry appearing. She wanted to recapture the voluptuous looks she had at a younger age without looking operated upon. She also had a rhinoplasty when she was a teen and wanted to have her nose straighter and less surgical looking.

Signature Procedure Rhinoplasty

Dr. Shapiro trained at Cornell in 1992 on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, long regarded as a center of sophistication and aesthetics. That foundation, refined through his cosmetic surgery practice in Scottsdale, shapes how he approaches every rhinoplasty: creating a nose that brings true facial harmony rather than drawing attention to itself.

In addition to creating life-affirming cosmetic enhancements, rhinoplasty also offers significant functional improvements. Because Dr. Shapiro plans every rhinoplasty around both form and function, correcting internal obstructions in the same procedure that refines the nose’s shape, many patients breathe more freely afterward than they have in years.

Rhinoplasty Before & After

Patient is a 18 year-old female who desired a more attractive and feminine appearing nose. She felt that her nose resembled her father’s and that it detracted from her otherwise delicate features. She felt that it deviated to the right, was over-projecting, and the tip was bulbous and unrefined. She would love a beautiful nose but had been hesitant to undergo nasal surgery because she had yet to find a surgeon she trusted.

Patient is a 20-year-old female who desired to have a more refined nose with better tip definition. She had been bothered by the appearance of her profile in photographs, and had considered a rhinoplasty in the past, but had been hesitant as she wanted to maintain her ethnicity. She wanted a nose that better complemented her facial features without appearing “done”.

Patient is an 18 year-old-female who had forever been bothered by her profile and the size of her nostrils. She tried to avoid photographs taken from her side, and was constantly filtering them when she saw them on her phone. She was not happy with the width of her nose and that it turned down when she smiled. She wanted a smaller and more feminine nose that appeared perky and pretty.

Patient is a 24-year-old nurse who underwent a previous rhinoplasty by another surgeon who despite his confidence and assurances, was not successful in making the patient happy. She specifically did not like her flat and masculine appearing nose that lacked feminine tip projection and did not appear “perky” as she was promised.
