My experience with Dr. Timothy Katzen is wonderful. His surgical skills are top notch and he has great bedside manner. I have had 3 procedures with Dr. Katzen and happy with all three.
Dr. Katzen is amazing. His knowledge and bedside banner area impeccable. He kept me informed every step of the way. His staff is just as impressive, they are patient and responsive 24hrs a day. He is great with the bariatric patient community, he knows how to get rid of our loose skin and hide all the scars. Thank you for all your help!
My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones - I normally don't write reviews but Dr. J Timothy Katzen and his team have gone above and beyond my expectations. I had gastric sleeve surgery and lost a total of 125 pounds. I kept convincing myself that I don't need plastic or reconstructive surgery. I figured I was healthy, and excess skin and fat is something I could live with. Boy was I wrong. Looking at my flabs and wrinkled skin was a bad reminder of my old obese self, the person I wanted to move on from. I had such low self-esteem when I was obese. I found Dr. J Timothy Katzen through Real Self and had no doubt he is the right surgeon for my situation. Dr. Katzen was the clear choice because of how many before and after pictures he had, the number of great reviews, the questions and answers, the videos, and his credentials, I mean I can go on forever. I felt super confident in my decision and sure enough, he delivered. Dr. Katzen did a circumferential body lift and I could not be more pleased with the results and care I received from everyone. I am forever grateful for how Dr. Katzen transformed my body. My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones.
A miracle worker - I look like an improved version of myself - If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Katzen is by far the best doctor I've ever encountered. His bedside manner is impeccable and he never made me feel rushed in my appointments with him, answering every question I had. I came to him to finish my weight loss transformation after losing 150 lbs resulting in a lot of excess skin. I had 2 rounds of surgery combining several procedures together; round 1 was lower body lift with muscle repair, neck lipo, and medial thigh lift and round 2 was arm lift with horizontal back lift, breast lift, and augmentation. It was a lot and recovery was intense but Katzen and his staff always made sure that I was well taken care of and supported every step of the way. My results are beyond anything I ever imagined Dr. Katzen truly is an artist but most importantly he didn't try to sell me on procedures I didn't need and he tailored my surgeries for the best results so I look like an improved version of myself and not lot a plastic doll off the assembly lot. I'm so grateful to Dr. Katzen and his amazing staff.
Changed my life - Thank you Dr Katzen and his team for all your kindness and hard work. I'm so grateful I found you. I just couldn't live another year of this. Like I said I have tons of friends in the silicone community and I know it's a rush when you first start to mod journey and you don't really think of the consequence or long term problems. Like I said I started penis and ball enhancement about 17 years ago and it was fun at first...until it wasn't. I know a lot of guys who don't like their silicone but think if they just keep getting more at least they'll have enormous junk and guys or maybe even girls, will love that. But if you're not happy with your results and WISH you could take it back, I recommend giving Dr Katzen a call. He didn't judge me and made me feel comfortable right from the start. He has an awesome bedside manner. When he said he could make me look 85-90 percent better I cried. A lot of you guys might know me as LAmeatpacker from all the silicone groups, so you know you can trust me. You'll know when it's time to make the call. I'm looking forward to healing and not having infections on vacation, not having time sucking TSA dramas, to buying pants off the rack, and not paying for custom made, wearing shorts and tights again at the gym, and not having to sit down to piss. Thanks again Dr Katzen you changed my life.

who is a Candidate for CHEEK AUGMENTATION?
Ideal candidates for cheek augmentation are women or men who:
- Would like better, fuller contours in their cheeks
- Have age-related volume loss in their cheeks
- Have naturally flat or hollow cheeks
- Have lost a large amount of weight, causing deflated cheeks
- Have asymmetry in their cheeks caused by genetics, a health condition, or an accident
- Are in good general health
Dermal filler injections can be a good option for patients who want to avoid the time and expense of surgical implants. Since dermal filler injections are temporary, it can also help patients get a better idea of the amount of volume and lift they would like before receiving a long-lasting solution, like implants. Cheek implants are better for those who want their results to last for many years and are willing to commit time to recovery after surgery.
what to expect during CHEEK AUGMENTATION
Prior to your cheek augmentation, Dr. Katzen will perform a detailed assessment to decide on a customized treatment plan that is ideal for your unique cosmetic goals. During your initial consultation, you will select your treatment method: nonsurgical dermal fillers or surgical cheek implants.
Dermal fillers can be completed in our Beverly Hills, CA office as an outpatient procedure. On average, this technique takes about 20 – 30 minutes to complete. Before your treatment, the injection sites will be marked along the hollows of the cheeks. From there, the filler will be injected carefully at the selected sites and massaged to create an even fullness. You will be able to leave immediately following the procedure and continue your daily routine.
Surgical cheek augmentation is an outpatient procedure that is performed in an accredited facility since patients are usually put under with general anesthesia. Once you are prepped, small incisions will be created inside the gums so a pocket can be made over the cheekbone. Then, the implants will be securely placed and the incisions will be closed. Cheek implant surgery usually takes about an hour, and you will be released to a family member or friend to recover at home.

About Ushow long is recovery after CHEEK AUGMENTATION?
Following dermal filler injections in the cheeks, the mid-face may feel tender and sore with minor swelling for about 3 – 5 days. Cold compresses and over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to lessen your discomfort. Optimal results are typically seen in 10 – 14 days. Continuous sessions will be required since fillers are a temporary option.
With surgical cheek augmentation, you will probably experience tightness, swelling, and bruising for around 1 – 2 weeks following your procedure. Vigorous activity that will put a strain on your facial muscles (like lifting weights) should be avoided for about 7 – 10 days. Optimal healing generally is achieved in about two months, but the results last for many years.

Cheek Augmentation FAQs
What type of dermal fillers do you use for injections?
Our Beverly Hills, CA office offers a range of effective injectable dermal fillers for the purpose of adding volume to the mid-face and cheeks. The filler you receive for your nonsurgical cheek augmentation will depend on your needs, goals, and budget.
What if I have an asymmetrical face?
You would be surprised to hear that many people, even some models and celebrities, have asymmetrical faces. It's natural to think that not having a mirror-like reflection of both sides of your face is an abnormality. If you are concerned that your facial asymmetry is unattractive or that you do not have a balance to your overall facial appearance because of the volume or height of your cheekbones, you can schedule a consultation with Dr. Katzen to have him assess your options. If you are considering a cheek implant or filler to make your cheekbones the same height or higher, call us today to schedule your appointment.
Can I have a fat grafting performed to fill in my cheeks?
Yes. In fact, Dr. Katzen employs advanced fat grafting techniques for the restoration of volume in the soft tissues of the face and around the orbits. Using your own fat can create a more youthful shape to the face. This method may even feel more natural to the touch than a synthetic implant or a temporary dermal filler. To determine if a fat grafting procedure is right for you, we recommend setting up an appointment with Dr. Katzen for an exam and consultation at our office in Beverly Hills, CA.
What is the recovery process like after cheek augmentation?
Recovery depends on the method used. For implants, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort for a few weeks. Fillers and fat transfers typically have a shorter recovery time with mild swelling and bruising. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.
How long do the results of cheek augmentation last?
The longevity of results depends on the method used. Cheek implants offer permanent results, while dermal fillers typically last 6 to 18 months. Fat transfer results can be long-lasting but may vary depending on the amount of fat absorbed by the body.
Will cheek augmentation affect facial expressions?
Properly performed cheek augmentation should not affect facial expressions. It enhances the natural contour and volume of the cheeks without restricting movement. It's crucial to choose an experienced surgeon like Dr. Katzen to ensure natural-looking results.
