Chicago, IL - Renowned Chicago and New York-based facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anil Shah played a pivotal role in helping Angel Ruiz transform her self-confidence and ultimately capture the title of Miss Illinois USA. Ruiz, who secured the coveted crown in May 2022 after several years of competition, credits a rhinoplasty performed by Dr. Shah just three months prior as a turning point in her journey toward success. Her remarkable story was recently featured in an exclusive article published by People magazine.

Ruiz, now 28, openly shared that she had long felt insecure about the appearance of her nose, an insecurity that impacted her confidence despite her strong interview skills and stage presence. Seeking a highly skilled surgeon known for delivering natural, individualized results, Ruiz turned to Dr. Shah, a double-board-certified facial plastic surgeon highly respected for his artistry and precision.
In March 2022, Dr. Shah performed Ruiz’s rhinoplasty procedure, enhancing her appearance while preserving her natural beauty. This procedure not only refined Ruiz’s features but significantly boosted her self-esteem, giving her the confidence needed to finally achieve her dream.
Reflecting on Ruiz’s journey, Dr. Shah shared:
"For many patients, changing the nose is about much more than altering a physical feature—it helps them recognize their own personal beauty. I feel honored to have played a small part in Angel’s inspiring journey."
Inspired by the positive transformation, Ruiz has since become an advocate for openness about cosmetic procedures, particularly in the pageant world, which often places great emphasis on appearance yet remains hesitant to discuss aesthetic enhancements. Ruiz frequently emphasizes three essential guidelines for anyone considering cosmetic procedures: "Do it for yourself. Do it with a professional. Do your research."
Dr. Shah’s work with Ruiz highlights the profound impact thoughtfully performed cosmetic surgery can have on personal confidence and self-perception. His patient-centered philosophy emphasizes natural-looking results tailored to each individual's unique anatomy, empowering patients to achieve both aesthetic goals and emotional wellbeing.
Dr. Shah’s practice, located both in Chicago, IL and New York City, NY, specializes exclusively in facial plastic surgery and is committed to excellence in patient care, delivering transformations that enhance both appearance and self-confidence.
