New Year, New You?

Start off the year by making a complete 360 transformation.

A 360 Circumferential Body Lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. Celebrity plastic surgeon, Dr. Timothy Katzen, has been dubbed the “miracle doctor” when performing the body lift procedure. Dr. Katzen, who has performed the 360 body lift hundreds of times, recommends undergoing the procedure if you are wanting to remove the excess skin from your abdomen, hips, and buttocks. Patients who are considering a lower body lift who have lost their weight naturally, or through gastric sleeve surgery, can also undergo a body lift procedure. The procedure is life-changing.

A patient of mine, Mary Ritch, made her life-saving change after she went on a cruise with her parents. Instead of Mary’s mother using the electric scooter, Mary was confined to using the scooter throughout the cruise. That was her “ah-ha” moment. She finally realized she was morbidly obese and needed help. Since then, Mary underwent gastric sleeve surgery and lost 212 pounds. After her weight loss, she had excess skin and wanted it removed. Dr. Katzen was recently featured on ABC 7 in southern California. They featured four of his patients (Mary, Zach, Linda, and Kayla), who all had incredible transformations.
