Misbah Khan MD, FAAD, FACMS

I had Co2 laser on blepharoplasty scars after a very unsatisfactory blepharoplasty surgery. I was seeing Dr Khan for fat grafting to improve my surgery results and she also performed the co2 procedure on my raised, hypopigmented scars. They were thick and lumpy and looked very bad. The procedure itself didn't take long and was not too uncomfortable, just like mild zaps. Immediately the scars were flattened and even looked less white. I'm only 2 weeks post, so I will continue to update photos. Misbah is very warm and you will feel at ease with her, she takes great care in her work and much of her time is spent improving the results given by far less careful and skilled surgeons. I have seen Misbah for several different things and she is always exceptional. She will dedicate a large amount of time to ensuring she gives you the best results she can, which is not common. I thoroughly recommend both this procedure and Dr Khan.
Note that some of my after pics are after fat grafting, which was a complex revision surgery, so I am slightly bruised due to previous scarring, but
that was not from the laser.

So, several years ago I had Vaser Abdominal Liposuction which left me pretty much botched. The surgeon was very aggressive which caused shifting of my midline, divots and fibrosis. I was devastated! I went to see other surgeons for a revision. Most didn't want to touch me, others wanted to do additional lipo with no positive results forecasted. I was very gun shy to say the least. I remember scouring this site about 18 months ago looking for someone who may have had a similar botched procedure with a successful revision. I found Dr Misbah Khan out of New York City. She recently revised someone with similar scarring like mine. I was able to get a consult and she explained in great detail what she needed to do. More lipo was out. She needed to release the fibrosis/scarring nearing my umbilical section and fat transfer to smooth out the abdominal valleys. This procedure was done in 2 phases over the course of 9 months. She'll explain to you that the aftermath won't be perfect but it will leave you happy again. Take it from me, someone who never leaves reviews like this, I feel like I was given a second chance. I've uploaded some pics to see the before and after. Feel free to message me through the site with any questions or concerns. If I can save one person botched surgery, makes it all worth it.

I went to Dr. Khan back in Dec of 2023 to fix my abdomen liposuction defects (that occurred from another doctor in Los Angeles). I struggled for two years with my body image because of how my stomach fibrosis and indentations looked. I hated wearing crop tops and bikinis. It was very distressing. After talking with her over the phone I scheduled an in person consultation where she throughly examined where we can obtain fat carefully and provided me with realistic but hopeful expectations. No other physician I found, even in LA, had her level of experience or expertise when it came to these types of revisions. My biggest fear was leaving with worse results since I had so little fat to use. Regardless, the day of my procedure went smoothly. I was very comfortable and well taken care of. Dr. Khan and her assistant are truly gems! While I inevitably lost some fat after the procedure my results have stabilized and my stomach and confidence has improved SIGNIFICANTLY!! Dr. khan is a lovely one of a kind artist. The only person I will ever trust for a fat transfer procedure. Thank you :)

The following statements are anecdotally common beliefs:

- Everyone knows that you have to choose between competency and compassion/bedside manner with doctors, right?

- And that if your dermatologist/cosmetic surgeon does not have a cold, uncomfortable, faux-ultra-modern waiting room, they clearly do not understand good aesthetics.

- Besides, most of the time it is the doing the work, so it really doesn't matter who is operating it.

Let me warn you before your visit with Dr. Khan -- you will need to remind yourself not to immediately call up your mother or best friend to demand they tell you why they lied to you about these supposed facts. You probably should also refrain from gloating to your worst frienemy about their subpar experiences.

Dr. Khan contradicts all of this common "knowledge" with her out of the box effective thinking coupled with a disposition that immediately puts you at ease and eventually starts to remind you of an extremely well-meaning, funny friend who you always go to for advice. Her waiting room is comfortable and tastefully decorated with her own art. This is actually important because -- do you want a cosmetic physician who has no eye for art? Or one who just buys the most expensive looking thing and sticks it anywhere? Finally, everyone's bodies react differently to things; when something does not go as planned, do you want next to you a machine operator or a harvard-trained physician?

I went to her for a revision of a complication I had with a procedure from a surgeon who fit all 3 of those misconceptions who gave me some ridiculous advice on how to somewhat correct it because he could not. Now that Dr. Khan has almost completely corrected the issue, she and I have had a couple of good laughs over aforementioned advice.

One thing to note: if you watch the videos on Dr. Khan's website, in some of them she seems _very_ serious (but still brilliant and convincing). In person, she exudes personality and kindness.

Before Dr Khan I tried to get this thing diagnosed and removed for 3 months via another Dr, recommended by my healthcare plan operator. It dragged on and on for months. In the end, when it was surgery time the procedure, the timing, the checklist it was so burdensome that I couldn't believe it. A colleague recommended Dr. Khan and that's how the weird situation of a cyst removal turned to something of a half an hour exercise of a relaxed afternoon chat of an operation and to be honest, I don't remember the operation part at all.

All I remember is Dr Khan's reassurance of how easy it is; how painless it will be and how much time and effort I had wasted on something that should've been quicker just as, if not less burdensome than a teeth-cleaning operation!

Clean, modern, chic, artsy are the adjectives that come to my mind when I think of Dr Khan's clinic.

Professional, courteous, knowledgeable (duh!) and caring are the adjectives that come to my mind when I think of Dr Khan as a healthcare professional.

Painless, not a big deal, I already forgot about it are the adjectives for the cyst and the operation.

I cannot recommend Dr Khan highly enough to anybody who needs help with their skin and any dermatology related conditions.

I went to dr khan to fixed botched liposuction a few months ago. I am beyond happy with the results. At first Dr khan said I was skinny and we didn’t know if we could get enough fat but she took out from multiple places and we had the perfect amount of fat. After years of hiding behind clothing I am so excited to be in a bikini this summer. Dr khan has improved my confidence and I will forever be grateful to her. She truly is amazing. The places where she took out the fat look great and you can’t even tell she took out fat!(this is what I was most worried about).

J’ai été opéré à deux reprises par le docteur Cristiano Monarca de Rome, ce dernier devait me faire une liposculture qui devait faire ressortir plus les muscles; le résultat fût un désastre et la révision qu’il devait faire s’avéra pire encore !
J’ avais des bosses, des trous, des vagues… Le docteur Misbah Khan a réparé au mieux ce champ de bataille, je suis venue d’Europe a trois reprises , elle m’a délicatement retiré la graisse au endroit ou elle pouvait pour la réinjecter là ou j’avais des trous toujours avec une anesthésie locale. Elle prend son temps s’arrête quand il faut et toujours rassurante.
Je ne peux que conseiller docteur Misbah Khan a qui a été victime d’une liposuccion ratée.

I wholeheartedly believe Dr. Khan is one of the top surgeons in NY if not in the entire country.

I didn't think this level of care, medical competence and expertise existed all in one place. Dr. Khan is committed to excellence in every aspect of her practice. Beyond knowledgeable, proactive and efficient, she is truly committed to her patients' wishes and wellbeing.

I was disfigured by a previous surgeon who did not want to take any responsibility for his wrongdoing. Over lipoed the back of thighs leaving many divots and a 2 inch gap under my butt area. I knew there was A LOT to be fixed. I could not wear leggings or even jeans prior to my revision surgery with Dr. Khan without feeling embarrassed. I was totally and completely disfigured.

Dr. Khan listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease during a very tough time in my life.

I knew during my first meeting with her that she was the best doctor to fix the issues I was left him. She was very honest and set very realistic expectations.

The procedure did not hurt, I was wide awake and chatted away with Dr. Khan for most it. It was like talking to friend.

Her bedside manner is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. She herself called to follow up on my recovery progress and even sent a few follow emails.

She’s welcoming, kindhearted and truly one of kind. I feel very lucky to have her, without her, I would not be smiling today… I can finally wear leggings again!

I will return to her before the end of the year to top off divots and will update this post.

Bonjour Je suis venu décrire l'expérience que j'ai vécu, puisque l'expérience de ceux qui on vécu cette opération m'a beaucoup aider, J'ai subi une liposuccion il y a trois ans
Il a fini par s'agglutiner et me causer de grosses boules dures dans l'estomac et j'avais l'air horrible.et rétrécissement de la peau ,J'ai beaucoup cherché un traitement et appelé des dizaines de médecins, ils disaient tous que la seule solution était une abdominoplastie (tummy tuck)Jusqu'à ce que je trouve le docteur Dr. Misbah Khan
j'ai pris contact avec elle par e-mail, après avec fait un FaceTime , puisque je suis en Belgique et elle en Amérique, elle m'a confirmer qu'elle pouvait m'aider depuis le FaceTime, après m'être rendu en Amérique New York en prenant rendez vous avec elle, je me suis rendu à sa clinique des les première consultation je me suis sentie entre les mains d'un professionnel qui savait ce qu'il fessait, elle m'a accorder beaucoup de temps et à répondu à toutes mes questions.
Après m'être préparer pour l'opération je suis revenue le lendemain et elle a passer toutes la journée à mes côté, L'opération s'est déroulée sous anesthésie locale uniquement je la conseil réellement je suis vraiment satisfaite de l'opération
Je recommande Dr. Misbah Khan Il est professionnel et digne de confiance
Je n'ai pas l'habitude d'écrire, mais je dois écrire mon expérience pour que d'autres puissent en profiter

So far, so good! I’m posting this about 12 hours post procedure, and haven’t even taken a look so far, but will keep you updated.

About ten years ago I had a revision that turned my stomach terrible from one of the “BEST” plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills. I was left disfigured. I’m confident in all other aspects of my life, I’m very active, etc, but for the past ten years I just don’t want to take off my shirt at the beach for very long (unless I’m laying down in a creative swimsuit that hides things, even being in shape), and honestly don’t want to take a top off during sex unless I’ve been drinking-my partner is super hot, too.

Anyways, I’m sick of being insecure, I’m sick of having this effect me in so many ways, especially if it’s something that can be improved upon, so after stalking Dr Khan’s work for two years I decided to go for it yesterday.

The harvesting of fat: it sucked. OUCH. The numbing was not something I enjoyed, to say the least. Ironic that numbing hurts, right? However, after the numbing I mostly didn’t feel anything, barring the breaking up of some deep scar tissue here and there. Had a snack, kept listing to music, went for the fat grafting. That was fine.

Right now (6AM), I’m good. The harvesting areas are sore like a big ol bruise, and one of the entry points feels like when a cat scratches you way too deep, but it’s definitely bearable!

As for Dr K- so sweet, so responsive, makes you feel insanely comfortable in an uncomfortable situation, almost like a good friend. She will hold your hand if you’re nervous, laugh and tell jokes/stories, and is a badass altogether. We will see if I have to go back in for some tweaks, and although I’d prefer to not have to, I totally don’t mind seeing her and hanging out. Lovely doctor!

It’s been a week, and I’m doing great. A little bit of swelling, almost no bruising, activities as normal. And I don’t know what sorcery this is, but I don’t think I’ll have any scars? I’ve been using the prescribed ointment religiously, and I can barely see the entry points.
Pretty impressive! Will update in a few weeks as things settle, but looking great and feeling great as well!

Updated on 24 Apr 2022:
I’m just shy of 3 weeks out and all swelling is gone, the one bruise I had had gone, and I’m much improved! There are two spots that will need a top off, but I’m already feeling so much better about myself. I should’ve done this years ago! This gave me the confidence as well to go for the breast reduction I’ve wanted since I was a teenager (boobs and back pain don’t go well with sports/athletics).
I was going to start a cut and weightlifting, but I’m a little paranoid about losing the grafted fat cells, so I’ll have to wait to work out until after the reduction is healed (and schedule my follow up with dr K around then!)
I’ll update in a couple months. Thank you Dr. K! On my way to feeling comfortable enough to wear a tiny bikini! Ty!

Updated on 24 Apr 2022:
I forgot to add this in my last update. None of it is leaving a scar. It’s insane. I might ask if she can get rid of my past horrific scars/indents from the other doctor’s work.
It’s insane that this didn’t leave me with scars- so so SO very grateful to dr k!
