J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills Reviews
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.

How does Closed Silicone Injections Removal Surgery work?
The surgical removal technique that will be used to perform your procedure depends on the location of the silicone injection, the amount of silicone in the area, and the type of complications that are being experienced due to the injections. During your consultation, Dr. Katzen will determine if you are an ideal candidate for the closed silicone removal surgery. A closed silicone removal surgery includes three unique instruments. When used separately, these three instruments are of limited value. However, when these instruments are combined, Dr. Katzen can harness all their energy to maximally extract silicone from the injected site. Dr. Katzen will utilize our Ultrasound-Guided VASER Assisted Silicone Suction (UVASS) technology to remove your silicone injections. During this procedure, ultrasound is used to locate the silicone in the operating room. Once located, tumescent fluid (a sterile solution of saline, lidocaine, and a vasoconstrictor—epinephrine) is injected into the area to reduce swelling, provide anesthesia, and optimize the surgical field for the next step — the VASER. The VASER is a surgical instrument that employs sound energy to melt the scar tissue around the injected silicone. After the ultra-sound localizes the silicone and the VASER breaks up the scar tissue surrounding the silicone, Dr. Katzen uses custom-made, proprietary suction cannulas to remove any remaining scar tissue and liquefied silicone.
What Should I Expect Following Closed Injections Removal?
The length and intensity of your recovery after closed-technique silicone injection removal may depend on your overall health and any symptoms or complications you were experiencing before the procedure performed by Dr. Katzen. In the first few weeks after closed silicone injection removal in Beverly Hills, CA, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort. However, the issues caused by illegal or faulty silicone injections should go away quickly. On average, patients can expect 6-8 weeks for the initial swelling to subside after silicone removal recovery with UVASS. Your final result should take about 4-6 months to appear. Remember that UVASS is effective, safe, and less painful than the open technique. Moreover, UVASS provides permanent results by gently removing the scar tissue and silicone from the previously injected sites.

Closed Injections Removal FAQs
How much do closed injection removals cost?
The overall price of closed injection removal will change from one patient to another due to a wide number of factors. During your consultation, our team will listen to your concerns and assess your situation to create a personalized treatment plan. At that point, we’ll be able to provide a more accurate cost estimate.
Is closed injection removal painful?
No. Thanks to our advanced equipment and experienced staff, the vast majority of our patients do not report feeling any pain or discomfort during their closed injection removal.
Will my breasts go back to normal after closed injection removal?
Eventually, yes. At first, patients will likely notice their breasts appear less full due to the removal of the silicone. However, as time passes, the body will recognize the absence of the silicone and slowly begin to correct itself.
How do I know if closed injections removal is the right option for me?
Closed injections removal is often recommended by our surgical team for individuals experiencing discomfort or complications. This option may be suitable if imaging shows silicone migration or tissue changes that require intervention. A thorough consultation with your surgeon can help identify whether the minimally invasive closed method aligns with your health needs and goals. We'll discuss your symptoms, concerns, and overall health to guide the decision-making process.
What kind of scars should I expect with closed injections removal?
Closed injections removal is minimally invasive and typically involves very small incisions, which result in minimal scarring. These scars are often inconspicuous and tend to fade significantly over time with proper care. Our surgical team will explain how to care for your incisions to promote optimal healing and reduce scar visibility.
Can I combine closed injections removal with other procedures?
Yes, some patients opt to combine silicone removal with other treatments, such as fat grafting or minor reconstructive procedures, to enhance the appearance of the treated area. Combining procedures can sometimes save time and provide a more comprehensive solution to your concerns.
