Your Comfort, Your Choice.

At Empowered Plastic Surgery, Dr. Khan offers select awake plastic surgery procedures with local anesthesia, as well as procedures performed under traditional general anesthesia, based on your goals, procedure, and clinical needs.

The Awake Approach

For the right patient and procedure, awake surgery may be performed using local anesthesia or light sedation to support comfort throughout the procedure.

  • Awake and able to communicate
  • Faster return to alertness
  • An option for select patients

Traditional General Anesthesia

For some procedures and patients, traditional general anesthesia may be the more appropriate option when a fully asleep surgical experience is preferred or the procedure requires it.

  • Fully asleep
  • Standard surgical approach
  • Used for more extensive procedures

Who is Dr. Saiqa Khan?

Dr. Saiqa Khan is a plastic surgeon and the founder of Empowered Plastic Surgery in Sugar Land, Texas. She completed her plastic surgery fellowship at Beth Israel Lahey Health and her plastic surgery research fellowship at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Dr. Khan is board certified by the American Board of Surgery. Her practice focuses on personalized surgical planning, awake procedure expertise, and natural-looking results.

What is the difference between awake and traditional plastic surgery?

Awake plastic surgery uses local anesthesia or light sedation so the patient remains conscious during the procedure. Traditional plastic surgery uses general anesthesia, which renders the patient fully asleep. At Empowered Plastic Surgery, Dr. Khan offers select procedures using either approach, depending on what is appropriate for the procedure and the patient. The right option depends on factors including the procedure itself, patient anatomy, medical history, and personal preference. Dr. Khan will discuss anesthesia options during the consultation.

What plastic surgery procedures does Dr. Khan offer?

Dr. Saiqa Khan offers a full range of facial, body, and breast procedures, including facelift, rhinoplasty, eyelid lift, neck lift, breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, tummy tuck, mommy makeover, liposuction, arm lift, and more. The practice also offers non-surgical treatments such as Botox, dermal fillers, and skin tightening. Each treatment plan is customized based on the patient's anatomy, goals, and medical history. A consultation is the best way to determine which procedure or combination of procedures may be appropriate.

Does Empowered Plastic Surgery see patients from Houston?

Yes. Empowered Plastic Surgery is located in Sugar Land and regularly sees patients from across the greater Houston area, including downtown Houston, the Texas Medical Center area, Katy, Pearland, Missouri City, and surrounding communities. For patients traveling from outside the Houston metro area, the practice offers virtual consultations as an initial step. In-person consultation is required before scheduling a procedure.

Can plastic surgery procedures be combined?

Yes. Many patients combine multiple procedures into a single surgical plan, such as a mommy makeover that may include tummy tuck, breast surgery, and liposuction. Combining procedures can address several concerns in a coordinated way, though candidacy depends on overall health, the procedures involved, and recovery considerations. Dr. Khan will discuss whether combining procedures is appropriate for your goals during the consultation.
