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.

am i a candidate for prp therapy?
PRP therapy can be a beneficial treatment for patients with a range of skin- and hair-related concerns, such as wrinkles or thinning respectively. Women and men who want to improve the tone and texture of their complexion are typically the best candidates for platelet-rich plasma therapy for the skin. Meanwhile, those noticing early signs of hair thinning tend to be ideal candidates for PRP hair treatment. During your consultation, please inform Dr. Katzen or your aesthetician if you have any skin conditions, anemia, or blood disorders so we can decide if PRP is a safe option for you.
how does prp therapy work?
Because PRP can be used to treat concerns for both the skin and hair, there are different techniques employed to suit each use:
- For the skin: Once you are seated comfortably in one of our private treatment rooms, a small amount of blood will be taken from your arm and placed in our advanced centrifuge machine. For this treatment, we typically remove one vial of blood. After about 15 minutes, the different components of the blood will be separated and prepared for injection. We will place the platelet-rich plasma into a sterile syringe and inject it into the predetermined locations. The PRP process for the skin typically takes about five minutes, but this can vary for each patient.
- For the hair: Your PRP hair session will begin by drawing a small amount of blood and placing it in a centrifuge machine. This machine circulates the blood at high speed to separate the platelets from the remainder of the blood components. Next, a local anesthetic is used on your scalp, and the concentrated platelet-rich plasma is administered into the areas of your scalp that require treatment. Finally, microneedling is performed on the scalp to create micro-trauma and micro-channels into the skin, which activates the PRP and enables it to penetrate deep into the tissue. Your PRP hair therapy treatment plan will likely include an initial treatment and follow-up appointments scheduled about every nine months to one year.

About UsHow long is recovery after prp therapy?
Depending on whether your therapy is for the skin or the hair, your post-treatment limitations and recovery times will vary:
- For the skin: Platelet-rich plasma naturally promotes the production of collagen and elastin to create tauter, more youthful-looking skin. Because it utilizes your own blood, your risk of having an adverse effect or reaction is practically nonexistent. You should expect your face to be a bit red after PRP therapy as traces of red blood cells can make it into the plasma injection. A cold pack can be applied to the injection area to minimize discomfort and minor swelling. We recommend our patients receive treatments every 4 – 6 weeks to maintain their youthful glow.
- For the hair: With practically no limitations or restrictions, there's virtually no downtime needed following this treatment. Patients may develop some redness, minimal swelling, and mild tenderness to the treated areas, but these symptoms should only last up to 48 hours. While results will vary for each patient, your outcomes are most likely to emerge around 4 – 6 months after the first treatment and may continue to improve up to a full year following treatment. Because PRP is not a permanent solution for hair loss, it's highly recommended that you attend touch-up treatments every 12 – 18 months. It's necessary to remember that PRP does not grow new hair follicles in places where you are already bald, rather, it's used to reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles so they produce healthier, thicker, and longer hair fibers.

PRP Therapy FAQs
How long do results from PRP therapy last?
Improvements from PRP therapy can last up to eight weeks or longer for some patients. The results will vary in every patient and depend on the area being treated and the overall condition of their skin. Some of the advantages of this treatment are that it is nonsurgical and has no downtime, in addition to being less expensive than other options.
What are the risks and complications of PRP therapy?
Potential side effects for PRP therapy when done alone are very minor and include prolonged swelling and bruising. If microneedling is performed with PRP therapy, possible risks may include a skin infection, delayed healing, and pigmentation changes. That’s why you should have cosmetic treatments performed by a skilled practitioner who has studied the process like our experienced team at J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. Beverly Hills.
Will PRP therapy help replenish volume?
No, it will not. PRP therapy cannot restore lost volume. While PRP injections offer great benefits to rejuvenate the skin's appearance and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, they are not meant to boost volume. If you want to enhance certain areas of your face that have lost volume, you may add dermal fillers to your PRP treatment plan.
Is PRP therapy painful?
Getting PRP injections feels similar to a BOTOX® or dermal filler injection with the additional step of the plasma extraction. Typically, most patients feel a little pinch or pressure at the time of injection. If you are nervous about pain or discomfort, you can request local anesthesia before the injection is performed.
