T.G. Khan, DO, FACS

Dr. Kahn made me feel so comfortable and his guidance as to what I can do to achieve the look that I want was caring as well as on point. Dr. Kahn is all about patients needs and customer service. The treatment that I had was amazing and made my skin feel incredible. I found the facility to be ultra clean and the staff super friendly. This was my first treatment with Dr. Kahn and I can say it will not be my last. I highly recommend Dr. Kahn and his services.

I Highly recommend DR khan you wont be disappointed he answers all your questions very professional He explains and gives an honest opinion of what will be best for you personally. He is also very knowledgeable and has a lot of experience in the field . his very friendly im very happy with my results!

I wanted to enhance my looks. I've been told by many that I look ten years younger since I received Botox injections by Dr Khan. I didn't experience any pain and within one day the results proved beneficial. I'm referring all my if my friends and he who reads this should see Dr Khan as well.Thank you Dr khan for your wonderful skills and kindness.

Thank you so much Dr. Khan! He asked me what my expectations were. I simply wanted to look how I used to look, not change how I look so I was afraid of Botox and fillers. Dr. Khan suggested fat transfer, using my own body fat as a filler. I highly recommend it!!! It was amazing, he filled in the sunken area under my eyes, then gave me a mirror to let me decide if I wanted more or less. Remarkably it wasn't even painful and I was back to work right away. Dr. Khan told me my love handles (where he took my fat from) would be more sore than my face and that was true. People never believe me when I tell them I'm 50, most people think I'm still in my 30's!!! :-) Dr. Khan made me feel very comfortable and is quite the perfectionist. As a former model my looks are extremely important to me and I wouldn't trust them to anyone else!

I have been seeing Dr. Khan for a few years now for botox and fillers. He is very pleasant, honest and attentive, always explains every procedure in detail and different options available to achieve the best results. What I like the most is that I always get a lot of compliments on my skin but nobody can tell that I actually have something done. Great doctor, very pleased with results!

I had Botox and filler with doctor Khan and LOVE my results he really has magic hands DR Khan his very professional and answer all your questions is kind, caring, he listens to your concerns, he really take his time with the procedure they even called me a day before to to confirm my appoitment

I've been going to Dr Kahn exclusively for over 5 years for any & all my skin care needs...
I've known several dermatologists / plastic surgeons in my life... And I can tell you unequivocally, that I would NEVER trust my face to ANYONE but Dr Taj Kahn...
He is , hands down, at the top of the Dermatological / Plastic Surgery Industry....
I would trust him with my life...

I want my big mole removed, not only because it's very unattractive but because the mole is growing and I fear that someday it might turn malignant. The mole is located on my eyebrow and I'm afraid that it will leave a big scar and a gap on my eyebrow,if I have it removed. But after my 1st session, my mole is half smaller, the stitches where placed wherein it will be barely visible. I am pretty sure I'll be happier after the 3rd session.

Dr. Kahn is one of the best Doctors I have ever been to. Not just for cosmetic procedures. He is caring, actually listens and somehow is able to take what you describe and turn it into reality. I like a very subtle and natural look. I don't want people to be able to tell that I do anything to look much younger than I am. My husband is five years younger and everyone thinks he's five years older. He hates it. I've been seeing Dr Kahn for three years at both locations which some people complain about but really they are not far apart and they always make copies of your previous procedures. Also Dr Kahn is a ocular and facial plastic surgeon. So he looks at what you need today not 6 months ago. I would not trust my facial procedures to any else, especially a "Botox Spa". Dr Kahn is a board certified plastic surgeon doing the work that knows what your face should look like as far as symmetry. Some people also complain that he runs late. That's because he spends the amount of time with his patients that he needs to. Every patient. So by all means run a little late because I definitely appreciate the fact that he spends as much time needed for me. Last, I highly recommend Dr Kahn. I have moved three times and still travel to see him and know he has patients from all over, including other states. My best friend travels from Texas for him. You will be extremely happy with the desired results as long as you communicate with him, show pictures, be realistic that you won't ever look like Angelina Jolie, follow Doctors orders, and trust him. The first time I went to Dr Kahn I was terrified, I mean this is my face we're talking about! I had never had anything done I was too scared because of all the bad results walking around town. He put me at ease witching the first ten minutes and I have trusted him ever since. I thought, thank God I found the right doctor on the first try, and why didn't I do this sooner!

Dr Khan is very good about managing your expectations which is extremely important in a procedure like liposuction. He tells you upfront about what to expect, there isn't a slew of assurances that you're going to look like a supermodel. Understanding what realistic results to expect is very important.

I took pre-op homeopathy for 3 days before my lipo. I've been taking homeopathy since I was a child, I spoke to my homeopath and took Arnica (amongst other things) before surgery. I am normally someone that bruises easily but I had no post op bruising what so ever. I continued to take Arnica after surgery and even used arnica gel and oil for a massage.

I am sure there are patients out there that are back to work and routine within a week but not me. At 10 days I felt every bump and pothole in the road while driving, this is largely due to lingering soreness and edema which feels like a drum. Since then I have had 2 lymphatic drainage massages and feel so much better! I now have only 4 localized areas of soreness which are uncomfortable when massaged. I have my full mobility without soreness except when I bend down to tie shoelaces, then I do feel sore. But then this is also the area that has the localized soreness and hard areas.

Each day is better than the last.

I measured a 3 inch smaller waist today! I can't believe it. I was also able to wear my iron man compression garment one step tighter (my garment has the ability to tighten up to 2 inches). I also got the courage to upload a picture for you to see the progress between April 29th (4 days post op) and May 10th (16 days). Disclaimer: the 4 days post op is the morning after chinese food, OMG the water retention after Chinese food is crazy. So in reality I was a little bit smaller but not like today.

My massage today was the best ever, it still hurts, but the therapist today was a big lady with big hands, she pretty much pummelled me till I never wanted to leave her :)

I'm still wanting to kill myself because of the itching. Sometimes I can't stand it, I want to claw my skin off. I'm not entirely sure if it's due to the healing only or both the healing and the compression garment. I hate synthetics against my skin, in fact this past winter I've developed an extreme itch for no reason, probably latent eczema. So I'm quite frustrated. Benadryl did not help except make me drowsy, Claritin works a little bit, topical anti-itch works a little bit also. But it never completely goes away. I do feel the most relief when I let my skin breathe. I do this for about an hour every day if I can, I just wear cotton and leave the compression garment off.

I'll talk about scars in my next update.

I wore a dress today for the first time in 3 years. :) My confidence is great right now, I feel almost normal. The massages are really helping to break down the hard areas and lumps. I had ordered new clothes in the days before surgery and then after surgery. It's a bit shocking that everything is fitting loose and I actually have to return some items for a smaller size. I was expecting an improvement in my body of course, but now that it is here, it surprises me. I expected the clothes to fit me well now, without being tight but the pants are falling off my waist. I can't stop smiling today. Measurement wise I'm not close to and ideal waist to hip ratio but I never had a waist till 3 weeks ago so this is an improvement that cannot be denied.

I've been having a fat day since yesterday, turns out I forgot to take my pill so whoosh - instant bloat. I was very uncomfortable in the iron man compression garment, so I opted to take it off halfway through the day yesterday. So far all the pictures I had been taking were with the garment on and with my clothes on.

Today I'm posting a pre-lipo photo. The post lipo photo was 3 weeks later (2 days ago).
I'm still quite swollen, but you can also see the rounded belly has noticeably changed. I'm still tender, and quite often I am still sore. gently touching my midsection feels sore. Last night I had to sleep with ice packs on my back. (I'll post pictures of my back later). The post lipo photo here is on a day I was feeling more sore than usual - I'm not sure why.

Obviously I look better with the compression garment on, but without it and still being swollen, I am able to bend down without feeling like my stomach fat was in the way. Whenever I used to use the rowing machine at the gym, it was a struggle to lean forward with this fat belly in the way.

I'll admit to being disheartened yesterday on the fat day, sometimes I feel that I went through so much pain, time and money for little results. Thankfully the unhappy days are rare, I can see the difference, my measuring tape shows me the difference as well. I know I will only look better with time.

Look at these horrific before pictures, I can't believe I let myself look this bad.

I've been feeling like the bra roll was the area showing the least improvement - clearly this is not the case. I've been feeling like this because both my bra and the compression garment crease where the bra roll is/was and the swelling/soreness has taken a long time to look better.

My itching is loads better with only occasional bouts of kill-myself-kind -of-itch. Maybe it's the healing or maybe Aveeno Skin Relief body wash is helping the garment related itching.

The large area of numb skin is slowly getting smaller. Also my stomach feels softer and when I knead it, it feels supple.

I made a 5 week progress image. I am now wearing my compression garment on the 3rd and last set of hooks which is the tightest this garment will go. My itching is almost fully resolved, most of the numbness also. I can go almost a full day without the garment and without feeling like my stomach was going to fall if i didn't bind it. Scars are much better.

I have a lumpy shape when i look from the side, I can better show this at my next update. But the area just above my belly button sticks out more than the belly button so it looks strange. I'm going to have my massage therapist work on that area more the next time I see her.

What do y'all think? How am I doing?

The 5 week images one at a time

Updated on 8 Jun 2015:
Was travelling for work, wearing the compression garment was not uncomfortable at all, there was a day when I left it off and went about my day and felt fine.

6 weeks post. So by this time much of the swelling would have resolved (I think). I hardly itch and the numbness is almost all gone too. But this bump needs to be worked on. The belly button is where the waistband of my pants naturally fall and that is causing this bump, the area above which is protruding out is hard. This was also the case on my back where the lipo was done on the bra roll, till i addressed it with massage - the bra roll was still very prominent being that the bra strap and my compression garment pinch in the same spot.

It may be that there is fat left over and some correction is needed, can't make that judgement till much later, like say at the 3 month mark. I'm barely 1.5 months in. When I see pictures of myself like this I still feel horribly rotund, but I know this is not the case when I wear my clothes I feel the difference.

Here's a picture of my bra roll before and after. Amazing difference isn't it. It's still there. Did I expect it to be totally gone? No, but I wish it was.

The other picture is my "Kim Kardasian" ha ha.

I have been noticing an increase in my hair falling since 2-3 weeks. Getting bloodwork done from my dermatologist. I was reading online and it seems that some people react to the trauma of surgery with latent hair fall. The good news is that it grows back but it's making me extremely panicked just the same.

I had a 2nd follow up with my doctor and it just happened to be on a fat day when my body was bloated with water as I approached my period. I'm not kidding 2-3 pounds of water. So my pictures with him looked absolutely horrible! My bra roll picture made me cry at home!

I've been meaning to post an update. The pictures attached were taken last night, dinner and all inside the tummy. I must admit that there have been days, even weeks when I have felt that nothing changed. I'm not sure why the body size fluctuates so much. I am measuring a good 3 inches smaller in my waist, I look more defined this is for sure. I haven't worn my compression garment all summer, since I got edema in my left leg after I wore it on a flight.

So nearly 6 months later, I am happy with the results. I seem to need some revision, the indent that i have is still there. Basically the waistband of my pants all fall exactly on my belly button. So that has been compressed every single day and the area just above it and just below it are sticking out. You can see this in one of my previous pictures. When my stomach is bloated, this is more noticeable and I feel awful.

I am back in the gym - minimum 3 days, some weeks I go for 5-6 days. It has helped a lot in keeping me toned in the tummy. When I went back to the gym after surgery (4 months later) I couldn't do jumping jacks, my tummy hurt! But keeping at it has strengthened the muscles and I can do most of the jumps in zumba now.

My hair fall got worse, but I'm hoping at 6 months the body would stop being so traumatized and stop the hair fall. We shall see.

I'm still amazed at the energy I have. It's like I am 5 years younger all of a sudden. The belly fat was weighing me down in more ways than one. I don't know if other stomach liposuction patients feel the same regardless of how happy or not they feel with their results. It would be nice to compare if their energy level improved dramatically as mine did.

With both lipo and cool sculpting they always tell you that it is permanent fat loss in the area that is treated. 1 year after my lipo I lost 20 pounds and my midsection looked great. At 4 years I gained back the 20 and my mid section looks Exactly as it did before the lipo, same bra fat, same fat mid section. I'll have to say that while I said lipo was worth it, I have changed my mind.
