Dr. Khan did a tummy tuck, liposuction to my back, and put in breast implants in June 2008. Approximately 4 weeks after surgery, the right implant came out from under the muscle and started floating around my chest. It has given me great pain ever since whenever it tries to move into my armpit. The left implant is hard as a rock and the nipple droops off the implant. The right breast is much smaller than the left breast. The breasts are totally asymetrical. I look deformed! I have been back to Dr. Khan four (4) times trying to get this resolved and each time he tells me the implants are normal. THEY ARE NOT NORMAL! On my last visit he finally said that they were normal with possible minor abnormalities and to come back in three (3) months for recheck. He told me I needed to lose a lot more weight before he could do anything anyway and I'm still maybe only 10 lbs overweight after losing over 100 lbs. WARNING! This man is getting senile or something. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR FOR PLASTIC SURGERY! He will not admit to making any mistakes nor will he correct them for free. Also, the lipo he did on my back left me with ripples where he stopped instead of blending smoothly into remaining tissue. This guy is a QUACK!

Please report Dr. Khan to the Texas Medical Board. Anyone who has had him screw up your plastic surgery should report him. This man is not competent enough to practice medicine. He has been practicing for 37+ years. That means he has to be close to 70 years old. I believe he is either getting senile, has dementia, or altzheimers. I am bigdcowgirl with the above complaint. I'm sorry to see another complaint here, yet I am hoping more people will come forward and together we can get this idiot stopped from screwing up more people.

I had my breasts corrected by a VERY competent doctor. He also corrected the botched tummy tuck and lipo job done by Dr. Khan. It cost me $19, 000 to get the mistakes fixed. It was worth every penny. I had spent six months crying every time I saw myself naked after Dr. Khan's botch job. Now I am proud of the body I have worked so hard dieting and working out at the gym to have. I learned that Dr. Khan actually failed to anchor my tummy tuck incision to the pubic bone resulting in a bulge in my crotch. He also made the "pocket" for my right implant too large, thus the reason the implant seemed to float all over my chest. He put in the wrong size implant on the right. The left breast was so encapsulated, my surgeon had to literally scrape the breast tissue off the implant. I actually lost more of my left breast tissue because of the scar tissue. Dr. Khan is an expert liar and expert at falsifying documents. I paid Dr. Khan $14, 000 to screw me up. So I learned a $33, 000 lesson. Always, always, always, get a second opinion and check many sources other than the medical board. Look for a doctor rated in the top 10 in the country. BTW, my breasts are not perfect because of the terrible screw job Dr. Khan did. My surgeon did improve them 98%. At least they look like normal breasts and are the same size. I do not cry when I look in the mirror and I even feel great in a bathing suit (tankini).

I had breast implants by Dr. Khan about 15 years ago. My surgery went well, no issues. My implants were exactly what I had hoped for. My recover went exactly has he explained and I had no issues. After the past 15 years I have had ZERO problems. Now at age 55 I find that with weight gain and gravity I am researching to have them removed and a possible lift. My reason for doing this has nothing to do with the work that Dr. Khan performed. Again, 15 years - No problems.

I had breast implants done by Dr. Khan 30 years ago. My mother had breast implants done by him as well about 15 years ago. We are both very pleased with his work. When I had my surgery done he was considered one of the best in the nation. No complaints here!

I had surgery by Dr. Khan and I was extremely happy. I was referred to Dr. Khan by a friend who thought he was excellent and my experience was the same. He and his staff made me feel very comfortable with my upcoming surgery. I have since found several people who have had surgery with Dr. Khan and they also are quite pleased. I see that these complaints are all from the same person. It is good that she found someone that could please her with the results of her surgery. The Medical Licensing Board shows that Dr. Khan is in good standing with no complaints. I would recommend contacting them rather than website bashing sites. T. McCloud

Initially I went to Dr.Khan and had breast augmentation surgery. After three years I had to under go another surgery due to a leak in the implant. After the second surgery I began passing out from internal bleeding. I went back into surgery 3 days after the 2nd augmentation so he could stop the bleeding. When he did this he knicked one of my implants with a sharp object but did not realize it at the time. The following day my implant was completely flat. He, along with his office staff, asked me what was I doing at home to have encountered such problems. He never admitted that he caused the leak in the implant. He replaced both implants and intenionally cut the muscle in the center so the implants would be close to one another. After 6 years of trying to hide this flaw, I have spent $25, 000 to repair what Dr.Khan messed up. The implants were slowly growing together and would become one breast if I didn't have something done to fix it." Every time I went in for a check up or to tell him I was unhappy with the results he would say " everything looks fine". He should not be allowed to "PRACTICE" surgery on ANYONE.
