Services
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape through implants or fat transfer. Ideal for women seeking improved proportions after weight loss or childbirth, this procedure offers customizable implant sizes and types. Patients typically experience significant confidence boosts through restored body symmetry and self-image.
Liposuction
Liposuction removes stubborn fat deposits from areas like abdomen, thighs, and arms. Best suited for patients near ideal weight with localized fat pockets, this procedure creates smoother body contours that diet and exercise cannot achieve. Results are visible immediately with continued improvement as swelling subsides.
Mommy Makeover
Mommy makeover combines procedures like tummy tuck and breast lift to address post-pregnancy body changes. This customized treatment plan restores pre-pregnancy appearance by addressing stretched skin, weakened muscles, and volume loss. Most patients achieve comprehensive rejuvenation through a single surgical session.
BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX Cosmetic temporarily smooths dynamic wrinkles in the forehead, eyes, and between brows. This quick, non-surgical treatment works by relaxing muscle activity that causes expression lines. Results appear within days and last 3-4 months with regular maintenance.
CoolSculpting
CoolSculpting reduces fat through controlled cooling technology that eliminates fat cells without surgery. Effective for treating love handles, abdomen, and thighs, this non-invasive procedure requires no downtime. Gradual fat reduction becomes visible over 2-4 months as the body naturally processes treated cells.

Mangled me. Went through a breast lift, nipple died because he did not restore proper blood flow. Finally ready to fix it, needed a year to heal now won't fix it and if it does get fixed it's on me to pay for after paying him $15000 the first go round. DO NOT RECOMMEND

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE! Beth is the "manager" here and REFUSED to help me when asking to reschedule my appointment and for a possible refund on a $40 deposit. Beth hung up on me while I was attempting to ask her questions. Please, if you call this office for services DO NOT speak to Beth. As a patient with Dr. Shaw, I would like a follow up from someone who can help me in resolving this issue. Thank you.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Shaw and his beautiful staff! My first appointment here was a consultation about having a mommy makeover and I immediately felt right at home. My tummy tuck procedure with liposuction and a mastopexy went great with minimal pain afterwards. When talking to Dr. Shaw he listened and gave me his professional advice on MY body type and goals. The results are amazing and have changed my life forever. I highly recommend Dr. Shaw and I will continue to make appointments to get where I want my body to be. I trust no one else!

I doubt my review will be shown on here because it is not a good review. And I have seen several bad reviews in the past that no longer appear. Mr Shaw is not the great Dr these reviews allude to. I had surgery done by him and after I got home I developed a huge hematoma (pooling of blood). I had to be taken by ambulance to have a second complete surgery done to fix the leaking blood vessel. I was sent home immediately without a dressing!
Several hours later I could not stand or hold my head up. I was taken Again to ER and told my blood volume was so low I had to have 2 blood transfusions! I then developed an abscess and was hospitalized for 5 days under infectious control care on IV antibiotics. They were appalled at my treatment being sent home after losing so much blood. Mr Shaw would not give his consent to admit me to the hospital after being called by ER for 9 hrs. The hospital had to get a nearby lady Dr to admit me. In total a horrible experience just because I trusted the wrong man.

I have had several procedures performed with excellence by Dr. Shaw and his staff to include: 1- Cool Sculpting, 2-Liposuction, 3- Tummy Tuck (Male) as well as 4- Botox. You will not find a better surgeon with better staff anywhere in the Wichita area, quite possibly in the state of Kansas. EVERY procedure I have had meets or exceeds my expectations. Simply stated, they are the best! :-)
