Biography
Dr. Roger K. Khouri, MD, FACS is a board certified plastic surgeon trained in general surgery at the University of North Carolina, in plastic surgery at Brown University, in reconstructive microsurgery at New York University, and in hand surgery at Harvard. Dr. Khouri is a scholar in plastic surgery with over 150 peer-reviewed scientific publications. He was Professor of Plastic Surgery at Washington University School of Medicine before moving to Miami. Dr. Khouri is married to Dr. Susana Leal-Khouri a renowned pathologist and dermatologist and they have five children. Dr. Khouri is the founder of the Miami Breast Center. He has more than 35 years of experience as a reconstructive surgeon. In 2002 He was awarded the prestigious Godina Lectureship in Microsurgery. He was a pioneer in reconstructive microsurgery and breast reconstruction with flaps before becoming a pioneer in fat transfer to the breast. In 1999 he invented the BRAVA external expander which led him to develop the breakthrough third-option breast reconstruction procedure called BRAVA + AFT (Autologous Fat Transfer). In 1997 Dr. Khouri published in the Annals of Surgery, the most prestigious scientific surgery journal, what was then the largest experience in the world with breast reconstruction using microsurgery (DIEP) and TRAM flaps. Over the past decade, always on the lookout for something better, he perfected BRAVA + AFT, a far better and much more patient-friendly alternative method of breast reconstruction. Along the way, he has contributed to many innovations in liposuction and lipografting, and he became a recognized innovator and expert in natural, no implant, breast augmentation and post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. For his expertise and his pioneering work on the regenerative abilities of fat grafts and BRAVA in breast reconstruction and augmentation, Dr. Khouri has been invited to lecture all over the world.

This man is a monster who turns his patients into Frankenstein. He botched my sister’s surgery badly and sent her home the very same day although she was still extremely groggy, in a lot of pain, and bleeding profusely (and continued to bleed badly for several days after). Her pain went on for months, recovery took forever, and is now scarred, and has weird dips in areas that he was never supposed to touch.
He was almost 2 hours late arriving day of the surgery, pushing all of his scheduled surgeries back for HOURS. I literally spent the ENTIRE day, from early in the morning to about 5:30pm in his packed and dirty waiting room waiting for her. This place really did feel like a factory.
After the surgery, the sweet staff turned sour and unresponsive. They sent my sister home in a flimsy, bloody surgical gown, still groggy and badly bleeding. I was appalled that they wanted to release her in that state. She should have remained there, under observation. I tried reaching the staff over the weekend, (he conveniently schedules his surgeries on Fridays) but got no answer. When I finally did get in touch with them, they were very nonchalant and acted like everything was normal. I’m telling you, it was not. My sister was in extreme pain, begging for pain meds, was very pale and weak, had no appetite, and was shaking the entire weekend. She also lost a lot of blood. This is not normal. She never should have been sent home in this condition.
Dr Khouri was also late for the post-op visit, and actually had the gall to scold my sister when he finally entered the examination room. He accused her of not following pre-op directions (which she did to a T ) because she bled so much on the table! He called her a “geyser” and stated that it had to be something SHE had done. He insisted that she had to have taken aspirin pre-surgery. She did NOT.
Dr. Khouri has a short fuse and is unprofessionally late to office appointments, surgeries, and about responding to calls. He fails to disclose just how brutal the surgery really is, and fails to stick to the pre- discussed areas. Simply put, he is in the wrong profession. Roger Khouri gives Sweeney Todd a run for his money.
I highly doubt the reviews saying he cares about his patients are at all legit.
This man is an unethical BUTCHER who prays on women who are in desperate hope of feeling whole again after undergoing terrible illness, radiation and surgeries.
Stay away at all costs!
