I am not satisfied with the result after almost a year. Only 1/3 fat remains with Brava using and fat transfer to my breast. Doc. Roger Khouri was careless, he didn't give me a normal breast shape nor same size of my breast. And plus, this procedure is TOTALLY NOT no incision, no scar, quick recovery procedure. In my and most patients' experiences, it is painful, leaving scar tissue, 6 month recovery for those wants breast augmentation with their own fat. My arms couldn't move for several weeks after this surgery; my breast size are different after this surgery, plus there is several dented injection marks or called dimples on my right boob, which is very obvious; my left boob is sagging and shaped awkward. I have two questions:
1. Is it better to stick to my original surgeon to have my boob shape and size fixed or is there any doctors could give me recommendations on my case?
2. How can I deal with the dented injection mark? Have a surgeon fixed them or find a dermatologist?

Why don't you talk yo him to reverse it? You paid quite a good amount of money for it.

I returned back to him. But he is unhappy for my review on real self. That's too strict and too real to be accepted by an expert like Dr. Khouri. He refused to do my revision surgery until I write sth good of him. But I'll post pics after the revision surgery and if the result turn out to be good, Dr. Khouri will win back his reputation, isn't it? And then if I am happy I'll reevaluate him. And it is possible for me to leave a sum up review. Isn't it win-win? So, it would be brave of Dr. Khouri to do my revision surgery and win back his reputation. But if the original doctor refused me, I'll leave lifelong regret and even imcomplteted life:(

I have pics and medical records. How that can't be true?
March 14, 2014
I was trying to remove it after I decided to return back to Doc. Khouri, but now I want to leave it here and wait till my revision surgery. If the revision surgery work out, I'll put good reviews for the revision surgery. It is unfair to me to remove it at this moment.

I did a big mistake. I offended my original surgeon. I don't know will he still be responsible to fix my unsatisfactory part or not?
March 15, 2014
well, humans are not perfect and even professionals make mistakes. IMHO, its not good to ask for 'fake good review'.. actually its up to you what review you want to leave... The best option for doc is to admit the mistake and do better, and if you are ind enough - you will leave good review. IMHO. So i cmpletelly understand your position and think its very fair one. Btw, if you have before and after pics.. and resault 'after' is worse then 'before' .. i guess you can speak to attorney.
March 16, 2014
I totally agree with you! Good luck to myself. I'll find a good doctor to fix my problem. Let's hang in there. I do have the evidence. But I don't want to waste my time to go to the court, I just want to have my problem fixed in a timely and professional manner and go forward to my daily life.

I would suggest you to checkout doctors in colombia.. i ve got my nose done here 2 weeks ago. i can not say if i am happy with result or no - its just 2 weeks, so i ll know for sure in a month. actually i ve been looking for surgeon for nose job for years, and i found the one just here, i went for acation.. did not expect to bring new nose as souvenir at all lol. But anyway, i like what i have for now, will be sure in 2 weeks i guess. and they are really professional here and i loved the hospital etc. Anyway, in your case... you spent good money for getting better and i suppose he should fix it. I see the doc has good reviews, so i guess he is professional and can fix it. so good luck again!

Internet can be misguided without people's real experiences. I am still awaiting from Dr. Khouri's response to me, if he is a responsible man and a good doctor, I believe he will take care of me. But if not, I will find some other doctors in a different country. I sincerely hope this bad thing won't happen to other people.

good for you, americandreamgirl. it is better to be honest, and us who look to this site are expecting honest reviews.... it is our bodies and our emotions at stake. thank you all for your honest reviews on Doc. Khouri because it helps us make informed decisions. shame on him for wanting you to be dishonest in order to save some reputation and retain the ability to provide more unsatisfied customers.

Maybe try South Korea, heard they are famous for plastic surgery.....

Thanks for your honest and helpful review. Most reviews about Dr Khouri are positive, but just talking to Cindy over the phone made me think it cannot all be true... I appreciate your review!
February 22, 2014
Thank you so much for sharing, and I'm so sorry this happened to you. You are still beautiful :) I was wondering if you'd share more detail about your story: Did they look good initially, or did you know there was a problem right away? At what point did you start to lose the fat? Did you use Brava before or after? Anything you can tell me about what to expect postoperatively would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much, and hang in there!

I was told by Doc. Khouri that he did my breast size in a different size right after my surgery, but he didn't explain to me the reason. After this surgery, one of my breast shape is normal, but the other one is abnormal which I showed in my picture. They didn't explain to my why the other side of my breast look so awkward. *originally, my breast shape is natural and normal. Before this surgery, their nurse Diana explained to me Doc Khouri will make a fold for my breast. This is the only thing that I can think about regarding to the problem. I think Doc Khouri might did a bad fold on one side of my breast. After 3 month, I lost 1/3 -2/3 of the injected fat. I used brava 4 weeks before surgery and 1 week turbo machine, after my surgery, doc Khouri let the nurse put splints on my breast for 3 months, I went to their center and changed the splints twice. After 3 months, I took off the splints, one side of my breast lost fat quicker than the other. and on my other side of my breast left a dented injection mark. Doc. Khouri still suggested me to wear brava as much as possible. So I did wear brava after the splints took off. Before this surgery, in my first preop visiting, I told Doc. Khouri it's ok if he cannot make a big size of my breast, but I do prefer a nice shape of my breast. But unfortunately, he didn't perform well on me. In my last post op visiting, he showed me the pictures when I was in the operation room. And I did see the problem that he made in this surgery--the fold was awkward:( Now, I really need to make a rework plan on my breast. Which is sad. I hope he could be responsible for it. But I am really not sure if I should trust his skill again or not? I need help.

American girl, thanks for the update. In my opinion, khouri ruined his own reputation by making such an unprofessional request. This confirms that other good reviews about him may also be fake... Good luck with finding a good professional surgeon to fix the problem xx

So sorry to Hera that my dear. These doctor that don't do good jobs like they supposed to need to repay some of that money back to patients.

Maybe asking a lawyer.

Americandreamgirl, I am so sorry that you had these results from the fat transfer. I'm not sure I'm reading your post right . . . Did Dr. Khouri do your original surgery and now he his going to do a second fat transfer for you??? I had my fat transfer done 1yr ago and I am very satisfied with my surgeon. I have posted my results at 10 months and will be posting 1yr pics soon. My breast are a little smaller at the 1yr mark only because I decided to loose some weight, and have lost 17 pounds. Naturally some came from the boobs. I will be having a 2nd transfer sometime in the next few months , but that was always the plan to have it done again. Dr. Khouri is supposed to be the best in fat transfer and I thought of using him but I found one close to home and couldn't be happier. Please keep us posted on your progress and I will say a little prayer that everything works out for you.
March 18, 2014
My saying is that Doc. Roger Khouri was my original surgeon. But he refused to take responsible of what he did on me. So he refused to do my revision surgery. He isn't a responsible doctor.
March 18, 2014
Are you wanting to do a 2nd fat transfer surgery??? Have you found another surgeon??
March 19, 2014
In the process
March 18, 2014
I even want to subside myself after I view my photos:( disappointed. Not sure how to live my life with such awkward boobies.

Lost faith on my original surgeon. Should I? Shouldn't I?

I suffered a lot from his protocol. Both physically and emotionally. Tired... But I'll still be brave, positive, happier and stronger. I will go to Miami and ask them why they stopped responding me and helping me and let myself suffering? when I have time and effort.
