About
Dr. Himansu Shah is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Henderson, Nevada, at Signature Plastic Surgery. He specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery, including breast augmentation, Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), tummy tucks, liposuction, injectables, and in-office procedures like eyelid surgery. Dr. Shah's philosophy centers on determining the safest approach for the best individual result, rather than simply performing a requested procedure. He believes plastic surgery is where art meets skill, encompassing both reconstructive and cosmetic work.
He emphasizes individualized care, particularly for breast augmentation, where implant choice, incision, and placement are based on a patient's unique anatomy and goals. For BBL, Dr. Shah carefully screens every candidate, uses ultrasound guidance to ensure fat injections are safely above the muscle, and personally calls patients the night after surgery to ensure they are moving. He aims for natural-looking BBL results, never dramatic or overdone. Consultations are designed to be honest conversations about what is truly possible, free of assumptions and pressure. Dr. Shah personally performs all injectable treatments. Spanish-speaking staff and financing options are available.

Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Himansu Shah
Sourced directly from Dr. Himansu Shah's social posts and replies.
What factors determine candidacy for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for a BBL. Dr. Shah individually evaluates each patient, considering factors like BMI, the amount and location of pinchable fat, and skin laxity. It's important to note that visceral fat, located deeper around the organs, cannot be removed with liposuction. An in-person examination is crucial to determine if there's enough appropriate fat for transfer and to assess skin laxity. For some patients with loose skin, a BBL alone may not achieve the best result, and a tummy tuck or another procedure might need to be considered. The practice's goal is to determine the safest approach for the best individual result, not just to perform the requested procedure.
How is eyelid surgery performed at Dr. Shah's practice, and what anesthesia options are available?
Eyelid surgery, specifically upper blepharoplasty, can often be performed right in the office without requiring an operating room or general anesthesia, routinely using local anesthesia. Dr. Shah offers Pronox, a relaxing gas, to help nervous patients stay comfortable. Lower eyelid surgery can also be done under local anesthesia, though it may involve more discomfort, making general anesthesia a better choice for some patients. The procedure addresses hooded or aging eyelids, and the path to achieving desired results might be easier than many imagine.
What are the differences between saline and silicone breast implants?
Both saline and silicone implants have a silicone shell, meaning some silicone is involved regardless of choice. Cohesive gel (gummy bear) silicone implants are softer, feel more natural, and if the shell cracks, the contents do not leak out. Saline implants are firmer and have a slightly higher chance of rippling along the sides. If a saline implant ruptures, it deflates, and the patient knows immediately. With silicone implants, there is no visible change upon rupture, so an MRI is needed to confirm integrity. Both are excellent options, and the right choice depends on the patient's body, goals, and an in-person discussion with Dr. Shah.
How are breast augmentation decisions made, and what are the risks of choosing an excessively large implant size?
Decisions regarding incision type, implant placement (above or below the muscle), and implant profile are all based on the patient's specific anatomy and natural tissue. Dr. Shah most commonly uses the inframammary fold incision, and high or moderately high profiles are often chosen for more projection. Implant size is determined by the actual dimensions of the breast, not just a number. Choosing an excessively large implant can lead to complications like double bubble and symmastia, which Dr. Shah will always discuss upfront. The appropriate breast augmentation plan can only be developed during an in-person consultation.
What is Botox, what areas can it treat, and what are the expected results?
Botox is a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles responsible for lines on the forehead, glabella, crow's feet, and '11s'. It can also be used for jaw slimming by treating the masseter muscle and for platysmal bands along the neck. Patients typically see the full effect in three to seven days, with results lasting three to four months, though individual results can vary. Dr. Shah personally performs all injectable treatments at Signature Plastic Surgery.
What safety measures and post-operative care protocols does Dr. Shah implement for Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
Dr. Shah prioritizes safety as much as aesthetic results for BBL. He carefully screens every candidate, reviewing health history and confirming BMI is within a safe range, as proper patient selection is the primary defense against risks like DVT, pulmonary embolism, and fat embolism. During the procedure, he uses ultrasound guidance to ensure fat injections are precisely placed above the muscle, significantly lowering risk. After surgery, he recommends compression stockings, early walking, and prescribes Lovenox to prevent blood clots. Dr. Shah personally calls every patient the night after surgery to ensure they are up and moving, emphasizing that the most important BBL result is a safe return home.
What are common motivations for breast augmentation, and what can patients expect from the consultation?
For many women, breast augmentation is not just about increasing size but about restoring a sense of self, whether seeking more fullness due to naturally smaller breasts or desiring to restore their body's appearance after pregnancy. Both are valid reasons. Not all patients are candidates for augmentation alone; some may require a breast lift alongside it, which Dr. Shah determines after a personal consultation, including reviewing history and an in-person examination. The consultation process is designed with no assumptions and no pressure, offering an honest conversation about what is actually possible for the patient's body.
Beyond hydration, what is important for maintaining healthy lips, especially after lip filler?
Hydration is only one part of optimal lip appearance. Daily sun protection is crucial for preserving healthy, youthful-looking lips and helps support the longevity of lip filler treatment results. Daily SPF application is an easy way to protect your investment in lip filler and maintain overall lip health, whether or not you've had lip filler.
What is Dr. Shah's approach to the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) procedure and his aesthetic goals?
Dr. Shah considers BBL one of the most transformative procedures he performs. His process begins with Lipo 360, removing fat from the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and back. This fat is then precisely transferred to the hip dips and buttocks to create a natural, proportional shape. He uses no implants or foreign materials, relying solely on the patient's own body fat, redistributed and refined. Dr. Shah intentionally aims for natural-looking results, with the goal never being dramatic or overdone, helping patients achieve a figure they've always wanted or never had.

Industry Payments
Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.
Total received (2024)
$1,541
Payments
27
Compared to peers
Moderate
Dr. Himansu Shah received $1,541 across 27 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 71% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..
What this means for your care
- A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
- Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
- Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
- A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
