Dear Dr. Khan and the Entire Surgical Team,

Words cannot adequately capture the depth of my gratitude for the exceptional care I received at your office. The journey towards healing from silicone and heavy metal toxicity caused by silicone breast implants has been arduous, but your skillful intervention has marked the crucial first step towards closing the chapter of breast implant illness (BII).

Dr. Khan, your artistry and expertise as a surgeon are truly remarkable. Your tireless advocacy for BII patients is both commendable and inspiring. Your bedside manner, coupled with your meticulous attention to detail, is a rare and invaluable blessing. In you, I found not just a doctor and surgeon, but also a scientist, nurse, advocate, and friend. Your multifaceted dedication to your patients’ well-being is unparalleled. My sincerest hope is that you find moments to care for yourself with the same devotion you extend to others, for indeed, your health is your wealth.

To Dr. Khan’s first assistant, whose name I regretfully cannot recall, thank you for your unwavering confidence and esteemed presence during my surgery. Your expertise and reassuring demeanor played a significant role in my comfort and trust throughout the procedure.

Nurse Katie, your compassionate and empathetic care from pre-op to post-op has been an incredible source of comfort. Your attention to detail and heartfelt dedication make you an irreplaceable asset to the team. Your thoughtfulness in wearing the Snoopy scrub hat just for me exemplifies the personal care you bring to your patients. Thank you for your kindness and for making my experience as positive as possible. CRNA Kirstin, your role in ensuring my safety and comfort during anesthesia was invaluable. Your professionalism and care allowed me to face the procedure with peace of mind, and I am deeply grateful for your expertise.

Finally, to Marlena and Sally, the warm and receptive office staff, your efforts in making the process of seeing an out-of-state surgeon smooth and seamless were truly appreciated. Your kindness and efficiency have made a significant difference in my experience.

To each member of the team, thank you for your dedication, compassion, and exceptional care. You have not only saved my life but have also given me hope and strength as I embark on this long journey of healing.

With deepest gratitude,
SF.

Dr. Shaher Kahn is a true blessing to this world! I had lost all hope at finding anyone in the medical community who would acknowledge that my undiagnosable autoimmune and other symptoms were related to my 29 year old recalled textured breast implants.

I found Dr. Khan through a Facebook group on breast implant illness. I was able to get a consult appointment within a couple of weeks of my first call to his office. During my consult, Dr. Khan listened to me. Not only did he listen to me, but he truly believed that my symptoms were caused by my breast implants. He is a true believer and advocate of breast implant illness! He explained that the surgery I would need to remove my breast implants would include removal of all the inflamed tissues in the enbloc fashion (total capsulectomy). Rather than performing a lift, he would remove excess skin for a more aesthetic outcome, and I would not need drains after surgery.

I waited a long 3 months to get to the OR with Dr. Khan and I am thrilled with my explant outcome and results! Dr. Khan provides his phone number to patients so we can communicate directly. His compassion and educational approach to his expert technique for breast implant removal are one of a kind. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Dr. Khan and his office staff. Thank you, Dr. Khan, for giving me a new, healthy reset in life after 28 years of breast implant illness!

Today I had a consultation in person with Doctor Kahn~This consultation was different than the half dozen I've already had. I walked out understanding what is going on with my body, details of what happens during the surgery and what I can expect post surgery. The consultation estimate is more than fair, My surgery is complicated~After meeting the doctor today, I feel a level of trust and respect has already been built~To me~that is priceless!

Dr Khan is a highly skilled surgeon who ensures his patients have the absolute BEST results from en-bloc removal of breast implants. His technique, compassion, and knowledge will exceed your expectations. Having your breast implants removed is a scary surgery, but you can rest assured you are in the best hands with Dr Khan. His patients will back him up and the results speak for themselves.

Elizabeth Pothier

Dr. Khan removed my breast implants after having them for only a month and fully rejecting them. I experienced upwards of 30 breast implant illness symptoms after only 2 weeks. I felt like I was dying every day, and I could not function. Dr. Khan squeezed me in for explant as quickly as possible (only a week after consultation) to remove them. I was his first ever 4th surgery procedure of the day. He cared enough about my situation to stay extra late to operate on me, and I’m sure he would do the same for anyone else in need as well. He cares SO much about his patients, and it’s beyond genuine. I feel 100 times better almost 5 weeks post explant. Dr. Khan answers all of my texts extremely promptly with any questions I have, or if I’m ever just anxious about a lingering symptom. He gave me his number right away after first meet, and has been a lifesaver ever since. He’s my favorite doctor/surgeon I have ever had. I trust him with my entire life. The surgery went incredibly smoothly as well. Thank you Dr. Khan, and thank you Jennifer and Chelsea!

Nick Clew

I mashed a finger working on my motorcycle and went to urgent care. They immediately referred me to Dr. Khan and he agreed to see me right away. He kept his office open late in order to attend my injury and the attention, skill and caring given to me by Dr. Khan was just fantastic. This ranks as one of the best medical experiences I have ever had.

Donna Woodring

Went and had a consultation with Dr. Khan. He was very professional answered all my questions. He will make the corrections from another surgeons botched surgery. This is why you always go to a board certified plastic surgeon and do your research!

Laniece Maclin

I was referred by Dr. Cox and urgent care physician when injured at work. Dr. Shaker W. Khan educated me, attentive to my needs, showed empathy and my surgery was a success! I am extremely thankful for him and his staff for their professionalism, friendly, clean, and informative.

Nikki

Dr. Khan is the most honest, up front and caring doctor I have ever met. In January of 2020, he saved my life by removing my Mentor saline breast implants. His honesty about the danger of breast implants, the importance of a proper en bloc and commitment to 100% removal of the capsule - we need more doctors like him. He puts his patients health before profits. I have never had such respect for a doctor as I do Dr. Khan. His attention to his patients and the time he dedicates to each one is why I'm feeling better every day. He gave me, me back. I truly love Dr. Khan and couldn't say enough good about him. He's a beautiful soul.

Elizabeth Guglielmetti

I consulted with other physicians before meeting with Dr. Khan. Within five minutes, I knew Dr. Khan was the right surgeon for me! Dr. Khan is very attentive, thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate and more. He takes the time to listen and to explain the procedure at hand. His outstanding demeanor didn't end when I left his operating room; he follows his patients with rechecks, texts, phone calls - however is deemed appropriate to ensure their healing process continues and is complete. I am truly thankful I found Dr. Khan and am not surprised to learn that so many travel from outside of Michigan to seek his surgical services.

Sherry Hall

Dr Khan is so genuine and full of knowledge. I love how he sticks up for us women. I highly recommend him hands down. I wish he was my PCP. His whole team is just awesome. Thank you Jennifer for all your help. You're amazing too! This team gets 5 Stars all the way! May God bless you all! 🙏💗

Larraine Keenum

Dr. Khan and staff are amazing. Just the best. They treat you like their best friend. So loving and caring.

Lisa Pardo

I love Dr. Khan! I had surgery just on 10/15/18 and am not fully healed yet but I could not be happier! He has great bed side manner. He is attentive to your issues and questions. He takes his time with you and his work is maticulous! My incisions are so nice and clean! He is a stupendous doctor and surgeon! I would allow him to be my surgeon again if needed, no doubt about it! Dr Khan you are fantastic! GOD bless you and thank you!

One of the most caring surgeons you’ll ever meet.

Exceptional Care
My experience from start to finish was wonderful. Everything went so smoothly. The care provided was top notch starting with the initial phone call to the office. Dr. Khan and his staff take all the extra time with you, the patient, to ensure the most comfortability and confidence moving forward. I have no complaints. I know Dr. Khan believes wholeheartedly in what he is doing, and he definitely puts his patients first. Thank you Dr. Khan and staff for the amazing treatment!

Patient

Wonderful Start to Finish!
Everything was perfect! My first day post-op en bloc capsulectomy and I woke up with no brain fog for the first time in ages. The office staff was professional and kind ! Dr Khan is an expert in his field.

Patient

Life Saving Surgery!

Had my explant surgery and now I’m 10 days post op. Let me tell you, this was the best decision I could’ve made.

A year and a half ago is when my implant issues started. Fluid swelled my left breast, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, anxiety, and more. After countless doctor and ER visits, hormone testing, mold testing, MRIs, ultrasounds, even CT scans all doctors could tell me was that there are some issues but I was still healthy. I didn’t believe it and intuitively knew that the fluid in my breast could come back and end up as cancer next time. I could not let that happen so I began my research on explant surgery. I decided to go with Dr. Khan because he believes that implants cause health issues and does everything in his power to get you back to optimal health which includes removing the capsule, YES the capsule! (PS pathology testing came back with some iffy stuff so without the capsule being removed I wouldn’t have the knowledge to get an oncology evaluation. Potentially life saving! Wouldn’t you want that peace of mind?)

Not only am I feeling better, my breasts look even better than they did before and he did NOT need to perform a lift! My breasts are perkier than they were pre augmentation and my areolas are way smaller. Crazy right? Do not spend extra money on a doctor that will cut you up even more.

His team is great and shout out to nurse Caitlyn for being so kind, responsive, and taking great care of me.

If you have a similar story to me, I encourage you to see Dr. Khan. I traveled here from NYC and would have gone even farther to see him and his team.

I seriously cant wait to see myself in 3 months, 6 months, and a year out. I just know I’ll look and feel amazing!

Patient

I Had Breast Implant Removal and Dr. Khan Was the BEST!

I was so thankful to learn about Dr. Khan and his staff and then treat with him. You want to talk about professional and the best bed side manner, well you have it with him!!! Not only that, he gave me my life back!!! Breast Implant Illness (BII) was a nightmare for me and finding a surgeon that does the proper explant, removing the implant and capsule in it's entirety as a whole- EN BLOC! He gave me proof too: pictures, videos, returned my implants to me and all of my medical records. His office is beautiful with his own surgery center. I highly recommend him, please don't wait to get better!

Patient

Amazing doctor - the results were beyond my expectations.

Absolutely thrilled with my experience with Dr. Khan!! From my initial consultation to the post-op follow-ups, the entire process was handled with the utmost professionalism, care, and expertise. Dr. Khan took the time to thoroughly explain the breast explant procedure, answer all of my questions, and address my concerns with patience and clarity.

The results were beyond my expectations. The surgery was performed with precision, and the recovery was smoother than I anticipated, thanks to the excellent care and detailed instructions provided. Dr. Khan and the entire team were incredibly supportive throughout, ensuring that I felt comfortable and informed at every stage.

The clinic itself is top-notch, with a warm and welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. I am genuinely grateful for Dr. Khan's skill and dedication, and I couldn't be happier to be relieved of my BII symptoms. If you're considering breast explant surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Khan--a true expert who delivers outstanding results with a compassionate touch. Five stars!!!

Patient

It's About Your Health!
It's about your health PERIOD!!! After spending hours online and having several consultations, Dr. Khan was the obvious choice. No cosmetic upsells, no cutting corners, no flexibility in his strong belief that all implants need to be removed en bloc. I could go on and on, but you see it in all of his reviews and on his Facebook Group with 11,000 members. Here is the difference you won't see. His practice is on autopilot. It is actually amazing to experience the precision. All explant surgeries are the same to him and that is how his staff performs. He is available at all times before and after. I have texted him several times and he either calls or texts back immediately. Here is the real reason Dr. Khan is the doctor that cares about your health. After surgery, and I remember it well, he came into my recovery room and said, I thought about you all night. I went over everything including our phone conversation. I've done so many of these explants that I knew what I would find, but I wanted to be prepared because of your age and how long the implants have been in. Everything was exactly as I thought. I just wanted to hug him!! To him there is one goal. En Bloc explant, no implants. It is all about health, not cosmetic.

Patient

I found Dr. Khan from a podcast he was interviewed on. I couldn’t believe how passionate and dedicated he was to the patients well-being. He called me personally for my consult and answered all my questions. I felt very safe with him and trusted him 100% with my life. I had 12yr old implants and flew across the country to see him. So thankful I did because I had a silent rupture and he safely and meticulously removed it. I can sleep at night knowing he removed all my capsules and I will have the greatest opportunity to restore my health.

Best Experience Possible - I felt comfortable and understood
Dr. Khan was absolutely amazing to work with. I am so happy I chose him for my removal procedure. He listens, takes his time to explain everything thoroughly and answer your questions. He is easy to get in touch with for questions and his office staff are friendly and easy to work with. He has an open-door policy with previous patients and is genuinely invested in improving health outcomes. I felt comfortable and understood. I cannot recommend him enough, I had the best possible experience.

Breast explant with Dr. Khan!
Dr. Khan is the bomb.com! I chose Dr. Khan for explant surgery because of his dedication to making sure that the whole capsule and all of the inflamed tissue is removed giving me the absolute best possible chance to recover from Breast Implant Illness. Dr. Khan is wide open and shares so much that you can't help but to believe that he puts the patient's safety first. I also chose Dr. Khan for the fact that he does not use drains. I had surgery 2 weeks ago and I'm healing up nicely without drains! Dr. Khan is also very personable and easy to talk to! I found his staff to be very friendly, professional and they know what they are doing! What is there not to love?

Patient

Dr. Khan is one of the most kind, compassionate and caring surgeons I've ever met (I'm a nurse, so I've met too many to count!) I had silicone implants that had been placed under the muscle over 10 years ago and he successfully removed them both by en bloc capsulectomy this summer. It was so important for me to find a surgeon who could complete this type of delicate and intricate procedure. Many surgeons I interviewed did not seem to have the skillset or confidence to complete it, and many tried to talk me out of it. I listened to my "gut" and found a doctor who was in my corner. After much searching in my home state and elsewhere, I found Dr. Khan. I would choose to travel out of state again in a heartbeat if I had to do it all over again! One of the best surprises of the whole experience was that I am truly so happy with the results and love the way I look now. I went from a 36C to an A without the need for a breast lift. I'm so thankful to have avoided unnecessary scarring and extra healing time. Dr. Khan really knows his stuff and is an extremely skilled surgeon. As an added bonus, I experienced zero nausea after the procedure. The anesthesiologist who cared for me was amazing! A big thank you to the entire staff for taking such great care of me. I will forever be a "walking billboard" for Dr. Khan and his incredible staff.

This Was the Best Decision! I would absolutely choose him again!
… He is a highly skilled microsurgeon/plastic surgeon, very ethical, and truly takes the oath of "do no harm" seriously and personally. I travelled from Utah to Michigan for this surgery. His team was amazing and has always been very responsive and kind. He even gives each patient his personal cell phone number to reach out with any questions or concerns…

Patient

My experience has been outstanding and I truly feel, life saving
…Dr. Khan is an expert at breast removal and total capsulectomy. The knowledge he shared with me has been invaluable. Dr. Khan is very thorough explaining the process. Dr. Khan will not rush through your appointments. He is happy to answer any questions you have and he has a wonderful bedside manner…

He is the only Doctor I would trust when it comes to Breast Implant Illness
I traveled from NYC for my explant. Dr. Khan is methodical. He is the only Doctor I would trust when dealing with Breast Implant Illness. There is a reason women travel from all over the world to have this procedure done with him. He is the only surgeon I would recommend to remove implants.

Patient

34 Yr.old Breast Implants, En Bloc Removal
…I have been very impressed with Dr. Khan. He is the epitome of professionalism , 100% accessible and meticulous in his execution. He only does explants and truly believes implants cause illness…

Patient

I write to the breast cancer survivor who received reconstruction with implants. We were duped. Get them out. I am fortunate enough to live in Michigan, but I would have traveled from anywhere to have this procedure with Dr. Khan. I had been released from my original breast surgeon who performed my mastectomy in 2017. My plastic surgeon offered no follow-up. Had I not opted for implant removal with Dr. Khan who insists on sending everything to pathology, I would not have known that my DCIS had returned -- this time in the "spared" nipple. Dr. Khan is cleaning up the work of so many ill-informed surgeons who are doing harm. He is thorough and believes in the removal of the full capsule. Not all surgeons believe in this, and several women, realizing their mistake when their BII symptoms return, travel to Dr. Khan to finally have it done right. (Take a peak at his Facebook support group page.) He is passionate about women's health and passionate about changing the system. He is also kind and compassionate and spends so much time with each patient. And his work is skillful. Who knew I would be so happy flat? If I could give him ten stars, I would. Do not delay.

Patient

Dr. Khan is absolutely amazing his expertise is above and beyond! He connects with you on a personal level, and hears you out on all your concerns and questions. He doesn't make you feel unheard or uncared for, he gives you a great explanation of exactly what he will be doing. He gets in tune with your health and well-being what a phenomenal surgeon one of a kind. Very descriptive about procedure and has a very uplifting spirit. Definitely will be recommending to other women. Thank you Dr. Khan

Patient

This review is for a consult only.

I had a second opinion with Dr. Khan 10 wks post op for an explant (breast implant removal) with another surgeon. He was very thorough, explaining I am healing well, but seeing the issues I see, and WHY he does things differently than most surgeons (like not cutting through breast tissue and muscle or areola adjustments.)

Dr. Khan is incredibly smart, and I’m so thankful he is so close by. He encouraged me to keep healing and we will see where I’m at in a few months and that in plastic surgery, things can always be improved and made better.

I have confidence he can help me so I look forward to continuing to see him as I heal and seeing his recommendations on what to do if and when I need things corrected in 8-9 months.

I wish I would have consulted with him first, but now I am past that and hope he can help me!

Patient

Life Changing! I have my life back and really don’t have the words for how priceless that is. From the consult to the post-op the one thing you can expect is that Dr Khan will be thorough. I was kept fully informed and aware, and appreciated his honesty and sincere passion for doing the right thing for long term health. He prioritises your wellbeing over anything else and this is so rare in today’s money hungry medical world. I am so grateful I went with Dr Khan over other surgeons, and can only hope he will continue to save lives the way he did mine. My recovery has been so smooth compared to stories I’ve heard, and I love that he considers everything - from exercise to digestive health during recovery - in order to have the best results. Many surgeons only focus on surgery and then leave you to your own devices. Endlessly grateful, and feel this is possibly the best decision I ever made for my health, considering how many changes have already occurred within a week of surgery.

Patient

Dr. Khan is a Saint! Dr. Khan and his office staff are phenomenal. He was highly recommended by a friend who talked with him a few years ago. I had my silicone implants for 15 years. Over the last few years, I started to struggle with just about every aspect of my physical and mental health. I saw countless specialists. My PCP couldn’t figure out why I had recurrent infections and a high WBC count at all times. I was very resistant to removing my implants. I was terrified that my breasts would look deformed without them. I’m 5’3” and weigh 132 pounds. I had 450 cc implants. The implants were very large for my stature. It turns out that my right implant had ruptured and was adhered to my ribs. They were both discolored and quite frankly, disturbing to rest my eyes upon. What truly reinforced my belief in the dangers of these implants is looking at the images and videos from my surgery. It made me sad that I put these in my body. It’s been a little over three weeks since my surgery. I feel like a completely new woman. My brain fog is almost completely gone. Memory & word recall has improved. I can sleep well at night and wake up easily in the mornings. So many other symptoms have diminished or ceased completely. I’ve had questions and concerns and Dr. Khan had answered them all, at any time. Even on nights and weekends. I trust him implicitly. He’s the most ethical and skillful doctor I’ve ever had treating me. I’m confident in the work he did on me. I couldn’t be happier and I’m so grateful.

Patient

Dr. Shaher Khan - The Best Explant Surgeon!! Dr. Shaher Khan and his wonderful staff were AMAZING! He is a very knowledgeable expert In the field of explant and capsulectomy surgery. After several weeks of research and watching his videos (YouTube/Facebook) my decision was clear. Dr. Khan!!
