A detailed interview was taken by BBC Radio Kent in which I explained to listeners why I stopped using PIP silicone implants. How I communicated with Clover Leaf Company (PIP distributors in UK), communications with PIP Implant Company in France regarding the results of ruptured implants and my communication with my previous clinic showing concerns regarding the quality of PIP implants and the need for an internal investigative audit for PIP implants ruptures. The findings were later published in a Peer-Reviewed journal in America for broader awareness of the issue.
Leading Plastic Surgeons of UK giving their views about PIP implants. In the interview, I explained what were the reasons that I stopped using PIP implants in 2004 and later started reporting them in Peer-Reviewed Journals, back in 2007-2008.

Surgery for obesity is one of the frequently asked operation. Most common procedure is gastric banding though gastric bypass surgery is more aggressive procedure with more reliable and predictable results.
At Reshape cosmetic clinic, we have a facility to arrange consultation with specialist surgeons and a long term follow up and after care plan. Mr Khan also has extensive experience in corrective surgery required for body reshaping. Most comonly asked procedures following weight loss are tummy tuck, body lift, breast uplift, thigh lift and arm lift. Some surgeon may employ an aggressive approach to deal with all these aspects at the same time but most surgeons including Surgeons in UK have more balanced approach. By planning surgery through different stages, surgical complications are minimised and patient’s safety is enhnaced. Mr Khan has been directing courses internationally on body contouring and have published articles on the subject as well.
Liposuction is still considered as one of the most popular and commonly carried out aesthetic procedure. Recent advancement has introduced many different techniques/machines to carry out the procedure including ultrasonic liposuction. However the conventional Suction Assisted Liposuction remains the most popular method for fat removal and more than 90% surgeons are still employing the conventional technique. Once learned, it is almost risk free, easily available and gives very reliable and predictable results. The art of liposuction to get the best results lies in good consultation, patient selection. I use wet technique as described by the pioneer of the procedure, Dr Ilouz. I infiltrate the wetting solution in piecemeal using small 60cc syringes that allows me to infuse controlled amount of infiltrate and giving me an opportunity for a controlled and predictable amount of aspiration. The procedure allows very little room for over or under-correction, asymmetries etc.

Mr Umar Khan has been actively writing on the problems arising from PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) implants and has written five articles including four papers in Peer Reviewed journals. Mr Khan is also presenting a talk on The Presentation and Management of Complications Arising from Ruptured PIP implants.
Most common presentation of ruptured PIP implants was swelling of the breast followed by breast and axillary lumps due to leaked silicone. In Mr Khan published article, it was found that these implants had a higher early rupture rate and these ruptures were almost always symptomatic.

Breast augmentation is usually performed in subglandular, subfascial, or partial submuscular pockets, including the dual plane. A new pocket has been introduced by my new technique of muscle splitting breast augmentation. The initial pocket was made in the subglandular plane up to the lower level of the nipple–areolar complex, and the submuscular plane was reached by splitting the pectoralis major muscle without its release from the costal margin. The implant now lies in this plane simultaneously behind and in front of the pectoralis. The technique was first published in the Springer Journal for Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery three years ago, and since then it has been adopted by aesthetic plastic surgeons from around the world due the highly successful and aesthetically pleasing results we are able to achieve using this technique.
