Thank you to you and your team for my surgery today.
You made me feel relaxed and comfortable with your manner and calmness.

I cannot compliment you enough from the initial consultation to the surgery there was a reassurance that breeds confidence.

I look forward to the ongoing consultations, and would not hesitate to recommend you for any plastic surgery treatment.

Before going to see Dr Khan, I used to absolutely hate my nose but now it's my favourite part of my face. I couldn't be any happier with the results and the care I received whilst going back and forth to the hospital from Dr Kahn and the hospital staff. I couldn't speak more highly of them they were all fab.
As a transgender patient the amount of care and respect I received was second to none as well everyone was so welcoming and kind, I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I'd fully recommend contacting Dr Kahn for any facial cosmetic surgery

After several consultations with other surgeons,who were unwilling or unable to facilitate my desired outcome. I was seen by Mr Khan and instantly found him welcoming, attentive and experienced enough to perform a rhinoplasty. My nose was something that had always been an issue for me, and luckily enough- Mr Khan's experience and knowledge is highlighted in his work. The end result is a extremely well recovered nose that is symmetrical, more inline with my other facial features and finally, a nose that gives me confidence.
Mr Khan's skill and knowledge is exceptional. And the aftercare I have received this far has been incredibly easy. Little to no scarring, little pain or discomfort after the surgery. I couldn't of wished for a better experience.
Thank you Mr Khan.

Excellent service from start to finish. Mr Khan is an excellent Rhinoplasty Surgeon. Having a fear of being put to sleep for over 20 years prevented me from getting my nose fixed sooner despite it being very badly broken however i was extremely well looked after and in the end i actually enjoyed the whole experience including drifting off. I have also been in zero pain since my Surgery and not needed to take even one painkiller. My results are also amazing and everyone has commented on what an amazing job he has done with my nose. Mr Khan is very knowledgable and professional whilst also listening to my requests as the patient. He is also quickly responsive following Surgery and answers any queries pre and post surgery. Would highly recommend

I made the decision to visit Mr Khan after reading his testimonials, in addition to a personal recommendation.
The support I received from Mr Khan and the team was absolutely fantastic. He was very professional, supportive and reassuring throughout every step of the process of my gynecomastia surgery and the results were practically perfect. I am extremely pleased with everything Mr Khan has done for me and I wish I had visited him sooner.

I had my rhinoplasty with Dr khan almost 2 months ago. From the consultation to the results it has been a good decision overall. The consultation was very thorough and I was asked lots of questions on my preferences. I was nervous prior to this but Dr Khan made me feel at ease and answered all my questions.
The recovery was very smooth with no problems despite me being diabetic.
My nose is exactly what I asked. Would highly recommend Dr Khan.

I just want to thank you so so much for my dream nose. For years I have been so self conscious about my side profile and you put me at ease straight away with all your skills and knowledge and such kind bedside manner.
Thank you so much!
I’m the lady who brought in a4 sized edited photos of my nose to the surgery room lol! And you have done exactly as I wanted. I have just had my cast off and I am thrilled 😁 (most people are worried about the size/swelling) but I can honestly say if it’s only going to get better then WOW!

Thankyou so much again!

I am glad I chose Mr Khan for my pinnaplasty (ear correction) as he was friendly and matter-of-fact about the pinnaplasty process - which was the perfect remedy to my emotional state - though to be fair to myself I had felt burdened with my prominent ears since teenage and have tried to hide every day of my life since I can remember.

Mr Khan's calm and unrushed approach ensured that I also felt calm and reassured by the time of the operation.

I chose local anaesthesia for the operation, during which Mr Khan talked me through what he was doing (as I had requested!) and even answered my questions about the history of pinnaplasty!

I had a positive experience overall and am very pleased with what are the life-changing results - I feel confidence about my appearance that I have never had.

I recommend Mr Khan highly.

I had a rhinoplasty with Dr Khan almost two months ago and I couldn’t be happier with the results and aftercare i have received to date. I had never undergone an operation before and wasn’t sure what to expect, Dr Khan ensures you know exactly what will happen during your stay and recovery period.

My nose healed so much faster than i expected and no visible scars can be seen. Dr Khan understood exactly the results i wanted from rhinoplasty and I genuinely cannot believe how natural the end result is. The concern areas on my nose have been corrected perfectly and Dr Khan has ensured my whole nose has stayed in proportion and still suits my face.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Khan and the team at BMI enough, thank you.

I had my Rhinoplasty August 2021. Mr Khan has been so supportive during the consultation through to the aftercare. I am delighted with the results, he listened to me and got the results I asked for.
I was amazed at how little bruising I had and how quick the recovery was.
I would highley recommend anyone looking for surgery to have a consultation with Mr Khan. He certainly has the skill but he also cares about you as a patient.

Mr Khan was incredibly friendly, professional and informative. He and his colleagues reassured me every step of the way, and the outcome post-op was more than I could've imagined. They tell you not to expect perfection, but the results were as close to perfect as I could have asked for. Highly recommend!

I had a rhinoplasty procedure done in May 2021.
Absolutely Amazing, what can I say that’s how I feel now after my operation. I had hid my face for so many years but with your help and understanding in how I felt you have truly changed my life. The whole process from start to finish has been well explained, you listened to all my concerns and feelings with the utmost respect. I recommend you so highly to anyone considering rhinoplasty surgery. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I am currently 6 weeks post op following a tummy tuck procedure and honestly cannot praise Mr Khan and the team at Aset Hospital enough. After doing extensive research into plastic surgeons I settled on Mr Khan and from the first moment I met him I knew I'd chosen the right surgeon. I'd had a bad experience post op previously and was really anxious it would happen again however Mr Khan reassured me he would do everything he could to prevent this reoccurring. My level of care both pre and post op was outstanding and my results are that incredible I actually cried when dressings were removed! Only 6 weeks post op and my scar is barely visible and I have a perfect flat stomach. Not only is Mr Khan a truly incredible and talented surgeon he is also a true gentleman who instantly puts you at ease. Thank you Mr Khan for giving me a perfect stomach and changing my life.

I would just like to say what an amazing job Dr Khan has done with my rhinoplasty. After many years of feeling self conscious about my nose I'm so pleased I decided to go ahead and have surgery. Dr Khan has provided an amazing service from start to finish. Having taken the time to establish exactly what my requirements were, he has produced results that exceeded my expectations. The after care has been particularly impressive, with Dr Khan going above and beyond to ensure I have been left with the outcome I wanted. I really can't thank, praise or recommend him enough.

I had been considering face lift surgery for about a year prior to my consultation with Mr Khan as I was feeling very self conscious about how I looked.

After my first meeting with Mr Khan, I knew he was the right surgeon for me. He was very professional and has a very relaxed and comfortable rapport with his patients and I could see from the moment the consultation had begun that he was completely focussed on my needs and made surgical notes about how he would achieve the desired outcome and explained the process to me.

Immediately prior to the surgery, he saw me in my hospital room and reiterated exactly what we had discussed many months prior due to the pandemic. He went through the procedures and risks with me to ensure I had a complete grasp on the procedure ahead and post surgical expectations which gave me a lot of confidence.

My recovery was uneventful thankfully due to his skill as a surgeon and my following the post-surgical protocol to a 'T'.

I am extremely happy with the outcome and it has boosted my self-esteem no end.

If you are considering face-lift surgery I could not recommend Mr Khan more highly. Thank you Mr Khan, you are not only a fabulous surgeon, but an artist!

Before my rhinoplasty, I was self conscious about my nose as it was very deviated and uneven. I also had difficulty with my breathing. When I first met with Dr Khan, he explained the surgery process and what we could achieve. He listened to my concerns and what I was aiming for. Dr Khan instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease with his expert knowledge and calm nature. The recovery process was really smooth and I cannot be happier with my final result! I cannot thank Dr Khan enough and I would recommend him to anybody who is looking to have rhinoplasty. The results of my surgery are something I used to dream of having. A very big thank you to Dr Khan!

I first met Mr Khan in January 2020 when I was 1st gathering information for a Mommy Makeover.

From our 1st meeting Mr Khan was reassuring, informative and he gave me an honest insight to the possible outcome.

I actually didn't see another consultant once I met Mr Khan, I knew he was the one I could trust with my Makeover.

Mr Khan has been nothing sort of amazing if I'm honest, he has put up with my anxious emails due to Covid, keeping me informed at every step.

I finally had my surgery on the 5th September 2020 at Aset Hospital in Whiston liverpool and I really couldn't think of a negative comment to post, everyone at Aset has been amazing, Karen on reception, Cheryl my amazing nurse who has been with me from my 1st evening, Karen Bates the hospital manager has always been on the end of the phone if I've any concerns. I can't name everyone but the whole team has been amazing.

Onto my Mommy Makeover 😊 .. my results are just unbelievable! I was in constant pain before due to muscle strain , the pain has gone.

I'm healing perfectly and I can see how good I am going to look once I'm recovered. I can't believe this is actually my body !

So finally, I would like to thank Mr Khan for giving me this amazing body.

And thank you to everyone at Aset Hospital who I had the luck to meet .

Thank you

In February this year I underwent Rhinoplasty with Dr Khan. This was a procedure I had been wanting for 7 years and knew that I was longing to feel more confident and happier in myself.
I researched into many different surgeons and their careers, success rates and before and after results of patients.
Surgery is so important; so I wanted to get it right. I came out of my consultation with Dr Khan and instantly knew I wanted him to carry out my procedure. I felt very comfortable with the decisions of what changes we had discussed and feel he really made my dream of correcting what I didn’t like, a reality.
Writing this I am currently 5 months post surgery today, I am the happiest I have ever been and my side profile isn’t a concern anymore. My whole experience from start to finish has been incredible. My recovery has been brilliant as I have been healing really well, I am extremely happy with the changes Irfan Khan has made to my nose, and it only made me wish I had approached him sooner.

If you are thinking of having surgery I hugely recommend Dr Khan, and finally I just wanted to say Thank you as this has completely changed my life.

I had two operations with Dr Khan. I had my 3rd revision rhinoplasty and breast enlargement. It was the best thing I’ve ever done in my life and I couldn’t be happier with the results! It was not an easy choice to make to have another operation on my nose as I had two other operations and I was left feeling very unhappy and very self conscious. I done some intensive research as I needed the best surgeon for the procedure and I’m safe to save I found it with Dr Khan! This was a massive gamble for me and a tough operation for Dr Khan but I couldn’t of got a better outcome. I also decided to have Submuscular breast augmentation as I wanted to look enhanced but still look natural. Dr Khan achieved this for me, you would never know Ive had the operation and I am over the moon with the results. Both procedures have changed my life, my confidence has grown and I’m now happy to look in the mirror! I couldn’t recommend him enough and I encourage anybody who is thinking of either procedure to make that appointment and have that initial chat. Dr Khan has a lovely manner and will make you feel at ease straight away. Thank you again Dr Khan!

When I first visited Mr Khan I did not know what to expect . He is a gentleman, made me feel very relaxed . Explained the symptom , and the surgery need to remove the cyst in my back .
When I arrived at the hospital for the operation he came to see me and explain what he was about to do . This I thought was very professional, and calming for me also .
The procedure was carried out to perfection . Leaving a 5cm scar on my back .During the process he also corrected scaring that had occurred from a previous operation . He did a fantastic job . It is healing so well that in a couple of months you will hardly notice it . In fact my wife’s comments were, ‘“ should I ever want a face lift the first person I would go to is Mr. Khan “.
I am so great full to him , can’t thank him enough .
His team in the theater and hospital ward were also exceptional.
I am 100% satisfied with Mr Khan , and the staff at Renacres . Thank you

Since having my second child I had,had a loss in self confidence due to the increased size of my breasts. I had attempted to have a breast reduction twice and cancelled at the eleventh hour.
I made an appointment to see Mr Khan following a recommendation from a work colleague. At my first consultation I felt very relaxed. Mr Khan was very informative. I was able to see photographs of previous surgery. He gave advice re the reduction he would achieve and what to expect with regards to scars. There was no pressure to proceed and I went home with the information to make my decision. This included possible dates for the surgery. This allowed for planning with work commitments.
I then had a second consultation when I had made a decision to have the surgery and Mr Khan went through all aspects of the surgery and post operative plans.
The staff at the Beaumont then planned all my pre op appointments leading up to my surgery.
On the day of surgery I was seen by Mr Khan and he took time to answer any questions I had.
My post operative time was brilliant and I was discharged the following morning. All my appointments were planned and Mr Khan was in attendance to check that the surgery was healing.
Due to his surgical technique I healed really well with minimal scarring. There was very little pain and I was back at work after two weeks.
I feel great and I am full of confidence and I feel in proportion to the rest of my body.
I had frequent follow up with Mr Khan. I have just had a check up at six months and have been discharged.
Mr Khan makes the whole process patient focused and I am 100% satisfied with my surgery and the the care I received from his team.

I cannot recommend, praise and thank Mr Khan and his team at Renacres Hall Hospital enough.. I had my old implants replaced and a breast reduction undertaken by Mr Khan earlier this year and I’m just overjoyed with the results. Mr Khan was recommended to me and from the first appointment I knew he was the right Surgeon for me. He has the most gentle, caring and professional manner and he took so much time to explain what the procedure entailed, any associated risks and what I could expect in terms of my recovery. I am just so delighted with the results and I have minimal scarring. I have to say I thought I would be in more pain but I genuinely wasn’t. The aftercare was amazing too, I just wished I’d done this years ago.

As I started to grow up, throughout my teenage years I started to hate myself and my whole appearance because of my nose. I lost count a long time ago as to how many times I cried myself to sleep at night about it or even felt insecure due to comments regarding my nose, and I always knew I wanted rhinoplasty.

After years of procrastination, I booked my first consultation at The Beaumont Hospital with Dr Khan. The whole experience was stress free and easy from start to finish. I had very little idea of what needed to be done and Dr Khan was so helpful. He listened to my concerns and worries and completely put my mind at ease. I trusted him and his instinct from the moment I met him as he is so welcoming and knowledgable.

On the day of my surgery, Dr Khan even came to say hello and made sure I was ok just before the procedure which I thought was lovely. The Beaumont Hospital were amazing, the staff there are incredible people. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and during my stay there, they were constantly making sure I wasn't in pain and was hydrated at all times.

I was so surprised yet happy that throughout the entire healing process I experienced no pain whatsoever. I would highly recommend The Beaumont Hospital and especially Dr Khan to everyone. I really can't thank him enough, he has changed my life for the better, forever and that I am eternally grateful for. I am no longer anxious to show my face or ashamed to be in a photo. I feel the most content I have ever felt with my appearance and that is all thanks to Dr Khan. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner, thank you SO much.

I have wanted a rhinoplasty for 10 years for a droopy, large nose that caused me a significant amount of distress and made me very self conscious. Me Khan was recommended by multiple people so I went for it and right from the initial appointment I was made to feel very comfortable, to the follow up appointment where all my worries were put to rest, to the surgery which went perfectly and the recovery which was speedy and painless (albeit uncomfortable which is inevitable). I’m now on week 2, the cast is finally off and the swelling has started to go down and I am in awe! I cannot believe the difference it has made to my confidence, happiness, self esteem and appearance already, with still a long way to go with the swelling. I’ve started to receive compliments already despite it still being inflamed, and I am absolutely ecstatic and so grateful I went with Mr Khan who made my rhinoplasty experience absolutely incredible. I cannot thank you enough! Truly life changing. I can only hope everyone who wants to undergo a rhinoplasty can have an experience as easy, comfortable and satisfying as mine!

I had breast reduction last November at Beaumont Hospital. Mr Irfan Khan was myself and my husband's choice to perform the surgery, after seeing two other consultants. Mr Irfan Khan explained the procedure, after examining me and explained if my expected goals were achievable and the outcome to expect. Before surgery Mr. Irfan Khan came to see me and put me at ease. During and after the surgery I was well cared for by Mr. Irfan Khan and his team. This care resulted in a great outcome I achieved from surgery with very limited scars which will fade in time. No soreness. Even my husband commented on how impressed he is with the results . Not to mention my back pain, shoulder and neck pain are gone due to reduced breasts. Mr Irfan Khan was his expertise was definitely right choice for me and I would highly recommend him to others considering breast surgery. Finally Myself and my husband would like to thank Mr. Irfan Khan for giving us a successful outcome resulting in a comfortable life style.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and all your team for the most incredible care and support in making & undertaking such a life changing procedure.
I came to Dr Khan after years of considering gynecomastia surgery. He instantly put me at ease from the very first appointment with his friendly but professional approach.
I wanted an honest opinion about what I needed and what my expected results would be.
Dr Khan was extremely proffesional and told me what to expect from my results including that it might not be 100% improvement due certain reasons with my body shape but to expect at least 80% improvement however in my own opinion he delivered 100%. This honesty in my intial appoitments made me trust him more.
He was reassuring and made sure I knew what was happening & what to expect at every step in the process including with my aftercare.
I was overwhelmed by the results from my gynocamastia plus liposuction surgery and feel after doing my intensive research and speaking to other surgeons that Dr Khan was certainly the very best to carry out this procedure. A life changing operation under taken by the best in the industry with truly amazing results. Thank you again.

With ref to my surgery "hooded upper eyelids",from my initial telephone enquiry with the reception staff,to my final appointment with Mr Khan ,everything was reassuringly professional and friendly.Mr Khan himself is a perfect gentleman,quietly spoken with a calm presence which cant help but to instill full confidence in you as his patient.The surgery ,which i elected to have under local anaesthetic ,along with the preparation took approx 1hr 15 mins with the time to do each eyelid around 20mins each.The results are extremely pleasing,everything i wanted but the only who know i have had it done are my friends who seen me in the first week after the procedure,my close family are none the wiser as to the reason to my wide awake fresh eyed look ,couldnt have gone better great experience many thanks sthetix

I had an Mastopexy - an uplift and slight reduction.

Throughout the whole procedure, from consultation to the surgery Dr Irfan Khan has advised me, made sure I understand the procedure and allowed me to ask any questions I need to.
The surgery went smoothly, with no problems at all, Dr Khan  made sure I was comfortable with the process so I was aware of what I was undergoing.  I felt confident leaving the hospital to recover at home due to the thoroughness of Dr I Khan and his work. Each day after the surgery I felt better and it became increasingly obvious how tidy and clean my incisions were.

I am so pleased with the difference in my confidence and happiness since having the operation. I feel that Dr Irfan Khan made the whole experience as relaxing and positive as possible and for that I am very grateful.

I had been conscious of the prominence of my nose from a young age and was understandably nervous about the procedure. Mr Irfan Khan made me feel at ease from the first consultation. He explained the procedure thoroughly to me so I understood what was going to happen.

I was surprised about how little pain (none at all) that I had postoperatively.

The recovery was straight forward and quick. I was very happy with the results.  Thanks again.

I had my initial consultation with Mr Khan. I was somewhat nervous to start with, but Mr Khan put me at ease straight away with his calm kind manner. 

We discussed my expectations, the results I was hoping to achieve and Mr Khan guided me through the process with his expert knowledge. The day of the survey, Mr Khan cane to see me in the morning, discussed everything and ensured I was happy to proceed.

Mr Khan checked on me several times during my recovery period in the private hospital and I felt safe under his care and supervision.  The results of my surgery are outstanding. I am pleased beyond belief. It’s literally life changing. I have my confidence back and can wear whatever I choose to.  The whole experience from start to finish has been exceptional and I am delighted with the results. Thank you Mr Khan.

After losing 7 stones in weight I was left with a lot of excess skin on my chest, so I decided to have gynecomastia surgery. After a bad experience with another company, I booked an appointment with Mr Irfan Khan through Spire Healthcare.

Upon meeting Mr Khan I knew instantly that he was the right surgeon for me. He was very friendly, helpful, and clearly a man at the very top of his profession. I had another appointment after a short cooling off period. Then, knowing that I was in safe hands I decided to press on with the surgery.
