I am very greatful to Dr. Khouri and his full crew at the clinic. Dr. Khouri has been devoted in this kind of surgery for over 20 years. He created brava, new techniques etc. to lead this fat graft breast reconstructin surgery in the world. I met so many doctors at his clinic coming to learn from him and Dr. Khouri never keep his technique in secret, he wants to share his knowledge to the world. He at the same time is very friendly, genuine, strong man with golden heart. He thinks and works for he patient. I feel very safe to put myself in his hands and trust he will do the best for me. His crew at the clinic are very warm and frienly just like him and very professional.

If you are interested in reading more details about my surgeries, here is the story. After 5 years of my lupectomy, I was looking for ways to recontrcut my deformed right breast because I used to be a girl who was very proud of my body shape and I wasn't happy to see my deformed breast after cancer. I was horrified by the offering of breat implant because I was told I need to cut part of my body flesh to lay above the implant so that it looks better and feel better. No, no big surgery and scar anymore!I crossed this option out then I found a solution of fat transfer but the doctors in China who can perform this surgery looked at me and said, No, you were too skinny for this option because only 30% fat will stay and your deformd breast was treated radiation which will even reduce the ratio. One day by searching on google, I found Dr. Khouri's website and read all the artiles on this site and I felt this is the solution just for me!Brava+Fat Graft! I was so excited!One patient of Dr. Khouri created a review forum and I read many reviews giving out a lot of details of the surgery and all are very positive. So I decided to call the clinic and Cindy picked up the phone and treated me very friendly and warm. I flied to Miami for the 1st time for the surgery and meetig Dr. Khouri Oct, 2013, afterwards, I had 3 more sessions of surgeries and I just had the last on Oct. 9th, 2014. For the first 2 surgeries, Dr. Khouri has put not much fat in my breast because the skin of my deformed and radiated breast was so tight and he used his way to help loose the tissues of the skin. After 3rd surgery, I saw huge difference, it's a new breast and the skin no longer stick tightly to my bone and fat has filled in. I was so happy. For the 4th and last time of sugery, Dr. Khouri helped me to further improve the shape/size of both breasts and I am still in recovery and would love to post the final result detail here after a few months.

Each session of surgery needs to be at least 3 months apart, so if you are determined to do this, get prepared that you won't be able to do outdoor activities during a certain of recovery time and you might have to skip some of your social activties. But anyway, althoug it took me over a year to finish all the sessions of surgery and I did miss something because of the surgery, I still think it's worth it both money and time because I am proud of my body shape again and I don't feel bad wearing bikini anymore as I like beach activities and divng so much! And this is something 100% of my own and can last for life time!

So thrilled for you! I know exactly how you feel :-) It's been over 4 years since Dr. Khouri gave me back what I had lost and just like you, I can wear my bikini proudly. Best wishes.

Hi Carrie, I went through 2 reconstruction with implants 4 years ago and still have capsular contracture and in constant pain. Are you still happy with the Brava reconstruction? Would you still recommend it? I am thinking to go see dr Khouri
