Silicone is a lab-created material made from silicon, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Once thought to be a non-toxic aesthetic treatment option, silicone injections in the face and body became a very popular low-cost alternative to plastic surgery. However, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has now warned that silicone injections can travel to other parts of the body and cause a variety of serious health concerns. These can include deformity, severe pain, infections, scarring, and even possibly organ failure and cancer. That's why Dr. Timothy Katzen offers silicone injection removal for multiple body areas, including the breasts.
Although it is an involved procedure, Dr. Katzen's skill and experience allow him to use advanced procedures like UVASS (Ultrasound-Guided VASER-Assisted Silicone Suction) and direct excision to effectively remove potentially harmful silicone from the breasts. If you're in the Beverly Hills, CA area and are experiencing problems stemming from silicone injections in the breasts or you simply want it removed, please contact J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills to schedule a private consultation. Let Dr. Katzen help protect your health while improving your look with a personalized silicone injection removal plan.
How Does Silicone Removal From The Breasts Work?
Silicone removal from the breasts starts with a one-on-one private consultation with Dr. Katzen. He will examine you and listen to your concerns. Depending on your needs, he will then work with you to create a customized treatment plan that will use either UVASS or direct excision. Dr. Katzen may also review breast implant or fat transfer options to enhance the appearance of your breasts after surgery.
UVASS, or ultrasound-guided VASER-assisted silicone suction, uses ultrasound imaging to locate the silicone. Then, tumescent fluid (saline, lidocaine, and a vasoconstrictor) is injected into the treatment area to make removal easier, numb the area, and reduce bleeding. When ready, the VASER surgical instrument is used to dissolve the scar tissue and silicone, allowing it to be safely and effectively suctioned out.
Direct excision makes a small incision in the treatment area, allowing Dr. Katzen to cut away the scar tissue, silicone, and any diseased tissue. He will then reassemble the healthy tissue to ensure a pleasing aesthetic outcome.
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.

(Translated by Google) I am happy to be a patient of Dr. to be cats. I'm an aquafill victim. After my injection in Düsseldorf in 2017, I ran into problems very quickly. For several years I regularly took medication for pain and was afraid for my health and for my life. From the first minutes of meeting Dr. Katzen on I realized that he perfectly knows all the problems related to aquafilling.Before the operation I was worried, but my doctor approached me and reassured me, I went to the operating room with a smile . Everything went well and the result is better than I could have imagined. dr Katzen was very careful with my body, it looks like I have no gel. I am thin and you could see and feel aquafilling. This gel was in the layers of the skin, but now there is nothing there. Many thanks to dr. Katzen and his entire team (Original) Ich bin glücklich, Patientin von Dr. Katzen zu sein. Ich bin ein Aquafilling-Opfer. Nach meiner Spritze 2017 in Düsseldorf habe ich sehr schnell Probleme bekommen. Mehrere Jahre lang nahm ich regelmäßig Medikamente gegen Schmerzen und hatte Angst um meine Gesundheit und um mein Leben. Von den ersten Minuten des Treffens mit Dr. Katzen an wurde mir klar, dass er alle Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Aquafilling perfekt kennt.Vor der Operation war ich besorgt, aber mein Arzt kam auf mich zu und beruhigte mich, ich ging mit einem Lächeln in den Operationssaal . Alles hat gut geklappt und das Ergebnis ist besser als ich es mir hätte vorstellen können. Dr. Katzen war sehr vorsichtig mit meinem Körper, es sieht so aus, als hätte ich kein Gel. Ich bin dünn und Aquafilling war zu sehen und zu spüren. Dieses Gel war in den Hautschichten, aber jetzt ist dort nichts mehr. Vielen Dank an Dr. Katzen und sein gesamtes Team

Who Is a Candidate for Silicone Injection Removal from Breasts?
Silicone removal from breasts is typically considered for individuals who are experiencing complications from previous silicone breast implants. The decision to remove silicone can stem from a variety of reasons, including both medical and personal preferences. Implant complications, such as silicone implant rupture, leakage, or capsular contracture may prompt removal. Health concerns and symptoms like fatigue, chronic pain, and allergic reactions may be reported by some patients with implants, which manufacturers say should be replaced or removed every 10 to 15 years. Still, some patients may choose to remove their implants as a preventive measure if they have concerns about long-term health effects, even if they are currently not experiencing any problems.
