Dr. Khanna takes the time to inform her patients of the most modern methods of cosmetic surgery available, enabling them to make informed choices about their own procedure.

 

“I’m here to educate my patients about all the options available, and help them decide what’s appropriate for their lifestyle and the desired outcome.”

 

While she helps both men and women, Dr. Khanna addresses the special concerns of her female patients. “Many of my patients prefer a surgeon who they believe understands their needs and how they feel about their bodies. We want every patient to be happy with their appearance and satisfied with their experience here.”

 

As a female surgeon, Dr. Khanna is uniquely positioned within the field of plastic surgery where most patients are female. She offers an authentic understanding of the female body, including what pregnancy and breast feeding does to women, and how the female body evolves over time, from motherhood to menopause. She works to create a tailor-made solution for every patient and strives to provide patients with a superior experience before, during and after surgery.

 

Dr. Khanna co-founded ICLS with her husband and fellow physician, Dr. Sheetal Sapra.
