Reviews for Body Procedures Near Beverly Hills, CA
"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."
"I am currently at 7 months since my extended abdominoplasty and lipo. Dr Katzen did such a great job. Initial appointment set up was a bit of a hassle. I almost had to cancel my surgery because I was misinformed of the date agreed upon. In the end my employer worked with me and we handled the new surgery date. Pre surgery process was a little crazy. There is so much to do and so little time. Only wish was the required testing list could have been provided a little earlier so the appointments could have been made smoothly. Surgery day I was so scared and panicking honestly but dr Katzen, the staff and anesthesiologist were amazing and took care of me. When I woke up someone stayed by me every second and I saw dr Katzen shortly after and he told me he took 13 pounds and said I did great. This stuck with me in a good way. I appreciated the care. Post surgery was rough! Keep in mind everyone recovers differently!!!! The tightness in your abdomen is extremely uncomfortable. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and the ride to my after care in the ambulance was painful. If you have the means stay at a facility!!!! It will make your first 3-4 days(the hardest in my opinion) so much more manageable. I was very very sick the first 4 days. The nausea was the biggest challenge for me. After that hurdle the mental game begins. I had two amazing people to care for me 24/7 and I can say it’s a lot on someone. New appreciation for caregivers is a shared opinion amongst us all now. No one could have prepared me for the mental challenge. If you have never had a major surgery please do what you can to prepare for being helpless and finding a way to be okay with it. Once mobility comes back and normalcy starts to trickle in things will get so much better. Realistically I’d say 5 month’s minimum is the milestone i would plan for. I’m now at 7 and still have zero sensation in all of my abdomen. I understand it may be permanent but I’m hopeful. Misc info Lotion is your best friend for lipo areas!!!! Don’t rush removing the tubes. Infection is also possible with wound care. I got a bad staff infection and could see inside my body very deeply and that was traumatic. Lots of antibiotics!!! All in all this was a life changing experience and I’m very happy with my results. My before and after are attached. My sisters wedding before surgery and my dads wedding 2022. Update: forgot to mention although I understand bodies aren’t perfect I do wish my belly button wasn’t 100% off set to the right. Also biggest disappointment was my pelvic area does not reflect that it was reduced in size. (No fat removed just lifted) have not seen the surgery of course but before and after to me is not different. I now have a flat stomach and a puff that sticks out at my pelvic line. I hoped it would reduce from swelling but it’s been 7 months."
"Came to Dr.Katzen for my arm lift surgery in November 2022. The dr and staff are very knowledgeable. Everything was explained perfectly and all questions were answered. I’m so happy with my decision to come to Dr.Katzen, I am loving my results! Incision looks great and I’m healing very very well."
"I had abdominal sketching, a crescent arm lift, and liposuction. He did a wonderful job. Dr Katzen has a wonderful bedside manner, he listens to the patient, and gives you exactly what you ask for. I would highly recommend him! He is a very talented surgeon. My crescent arm lift is essential scar-free. The results are even better than I could have hoped for."
"I cannot express fully how happy I am with my end results! I am currently almost 7 months since my extended abdominoplasty and lipo. Dr Katzen did such a great job.

"I had an arm lift with Dr.Katzen and I'm very happy with the results. You can see in the results pictures he has on his site how skilled he is in this area. He made me feel very comfortable from the consultation and when I was concerned about scarring he was realistic with me that I wouldn't be happy with just a liposuction due to the leftover skin. The scarring is going down with his recommendations and I'm so glad I chose to work with him. Plus, Yesyka and Talia are gems and made the whole billing to healing process easy."
"Silicon injection removal - don't wait until it's too late - All I have to say is Dr. Katzen is number 1 on the list for silicone injection removal in Beverly Hills, CA.Why did I chose Dr. Katzen is because he is very knowledge & has videos, plus years of experience removing this foreign substance from your body. I had the removal on March 31, 2022 and my reconstruction is March 29, 2023.When I woke up from my 1st surgery on 3-31-22, I was so afraid. On a pain scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, my pain was a 0 1/2 to 1.If you're going to do any videoing of your journey to help others, please be sure to bring your sunglasses.I just had a virtual consultation with Dr. Katzen on January 9, 2023 & he answered all of my questions & wasn't rushing.If you are thinking about getting removal, send me a personal email so I can give you more details & support.Don't wait until it's too late and it turn into granuloma cancer, dialysis, lupus, and/or many other illnesses.I would choose Dr. Katzen over any of these plastic surgeons when it comes to this. Trust & believe."
"Results are as good as some of the most high priced specialists in the city - Although this review is for Botox i need to give you a rundown on why i choose Dr Katzen I have always had an incredible experience with Dr Katzen. I have had a tummy tuck, breast lift, BBL plus both an arm lift and a thigh lift since 2017- and I’m not a massive weight loss patient. He's just that good. He Probably has more experience than anyone else in Los Angeles with these lift procedures This past summer wearing shorts for the first time in 20 years was truly life changing. Freeing. And tank tops without a “light sweater” on top to hide my arms when it’s 100 degrees outside- priceless. I wish i would have seen him sooner- like in my 20s- alas he wasn’t around yet :) . . So kind and patient and talented. Why i never turned to him for Botox and filler is a mystery. In November i got Botox from the very knowledgeable Talia in his office who is good at everything including post surgical care . Her results are as good as some of the most high priced specialists in the city. I’m also ready for my 2nd Mobius 8 session- great results. . He numbs us twice which really is necessary. He will always do what is necessary to keep you looking good and getting there as pain free as possible. . Great Dr. Great office."
"I had a tummy tuck in July 2022 and my results are beyond expectations! Dr. Katzen is knowledgeable, kind, personable and a master at what he does! His office staff are equally amazing. They make you feel important, heard and well taken care of. My results are better than I could have ever imagined and hope that if you are on the fence about booking with the doctor, this review will help your decision. I don’t regret my choice and only hope your surgery will bring you the confidence and joy mine has!!"
"I recently had a CTT and Thigh lift with Dr. Katzen and Botox with Talia. I am in love with my results and couldn't be happier. Dr. Katzen and Talia are both amazing practitioners and I highly recommend both of them."
"Dr Katzen is an amazing surgeon. I scheduled a brachioplasty and was concerned about the procedure and the scaring. Dr. Katzen made me feel very comfortable and he was very easy to talk with. The surgery was painless, recovery was relatively easy and the scarring was minimal. I was ecstatic after the bandages were removed...firm arms, no loose skin and thin light scar line. Dr Katzen is a down to earth, caring surgeon. His surgical skills are incredible!!! The office staff are also GREAT."
"2 months post-op tummy tuck - he's very patient & caring - My experience with Dr. J Timothy Katzen has been nothing but great. I searched for Dr. Katzen on several reputable websites. I love that Dr. Katzen takes time to engage with his patients and explains things that make it easy for us patients to understand. When I met Dr. Katzen, I was very pleased. He possesses all the traits I was looking for in a surgeon. He's someone I can trust and offers high-quality care. The morning of surgery, I was a nervous wreck, he held my hand and calmed me. He's so patient and caring. Highly recommend Dr. Katzen and his practice."
"I healed really well with excellent results - My sister and I both had gastric bypass surgery a while back. She started her reconstructive surgeries before me. She had a body lift, thigh lift, torsoplasty, arm lift, and breast lift with Dr. Timothy Katzen. I accompanied her to every appointment because I knew one day I would need a surgeon to reconstruct my body as well. I ended up having the same surgeries as my sister. We both healed really well with excellent results. There is no one we would trust our bodies to. Dr. Katzen is beyond amazing at what he does."
"Silicone removal then BBL - so fortunate to have found him - Eleven years ago, I made the horrible decision of having silicone injections in my butt. I regretted that decision so badly. Fast forward to the end of 2021, I got Dr. Katzen to remove the silicone from my buttocks. After months of having my body heal, I returned to Katzen to have a Brazilian Butt Lift. This is one of many of Dr. Katzen's specialties. I'm so fortunate to have found him."
"Great experience with 360 body lift after losing over 100 lbs - After losing over 100 lbs from WLS, I was seeking a surgeon to repair my skin. Contrary to what my friends think, having skin removal was a necessity for me. The folds in my abdomen area was getting bad. It caused me to get skin rashes and infections. I had to use powder after every shower to help keep my skin folds dry and clean. I went to Dr. Katzen for skin removal surgery in June 2022. He did a 360 body lift on me and I am no longer dealing with the skin folds or skin infections. My abdomen, lateral legs and hips look amazing. Dr. Katzen is just so good at what he does."
"Made my tummy so smooth & flat & managed my pain - so happy! - I am a wimp when it comes to pain so the decision to have a tummy tuck was not taken lightly. I am so glad Dr. Katzen is as kind as he is. He was very understanding and managed my pain nicely. Dr. Katzen did my tummy tuck in about 3 hours and he made my tummy so smooth and so flat. My decision to choose Dr. Katzen as my surgeon was a great one. So happy with everything!"
"Circumferential Body Lift and Medial Thigh Lift - A year and 8 months ago, I had gastric sleeve and was down 131 pounds. My body got smaller but I was draped in wrinkles. This is really common with weight loss patients so I was not shocked. I went on realself.com and found this site to be very educational. I found more information than I would ever need and it helped me make a very important decision about who my surgeon would be. Without a doubt, I narrowed my decision to Dr. Katzen and one other surgeon. I consulted with both surgeons and confidently chose Dr. Katzen after meeting them both in consultation.Dr. Katzen did my body lift and thigh lift and I highly recommend him."
"My arms finally look normal, and my confidence is restored - In September of 2021, I had a botched Arm Lift in Turkey that left me with not only uneven arms, but they didn't even look like they belonged to the same person. I had extreme dogearing on both arms and was ashamed to show them to anyone. I couldn't bare looking at them myself. I spoke with multiple plastic surgeons afterwards to fix them, and many appointments left me feeling hopeless and devastated.It wasn't until I met with Dr. Katzen that I started to feel like there was still hope to fix my arms. He was super kind and honest and reassured me he would do his best to make my arms look better.I am now almost three months post my operation, and I could not be happier! My arms finally look normal, and my confidence is restored. I want to thank Dr. Katzen for his amazing job and the staff for answering all my questions throughout the process."
"360 Body Lift with the Very Best Surgeon - I am one who always plans way in advance. Before I even had bariatric surgery, I had already started to research reconstructive plastic surgery. The first page that always popped up on my search was Dr. Katzen and I can see why. I remembered how I dreamt of having a normal body after being obese for so many years.When the time came for reconstructing my body after weight loss, I of course went to Dr. Katzen. He did not disappoint. He performed the 360 body lift on me and it turned out how I envisioned it to be. This man is a genius and has the best personality ever."
"Brachioplasty after 79lbs weight loss - I expect incisions to be light & flat - My review is for a brachioplasty, even though I have had other surgeries with Dr. Katzen (I wouldn't go anywhere else :))I had lost 79 pounds but my arms were always large. After losing weight, I had a lot of skin that just hung in my arms. It was ugly and it made shopping for tops very hard. Dr. Katzen did a fantastic job with the arm lift. Based on how my incisions have healed in the past, I expect my arm incisions to be very light and flat. I give Dr. Katzen a 5 out of 5 stars. He's amazing!"
"Top notch surgeon created an hourglass waistline with flat abdomen - I had considered going to Mexico for a tummy tuck because it was going to be cheaper until a close friend of mine told me about her aunt who ended up with severe infections after having a tummy tuck in Mexico. By the time her aunt was treated properly, the cost ended up being so much higher than what it would have cost her to have her surgery in the states. After careful research, I chose Dr. Katzen to do my tummy tuck surgery and I was very happy with my decision. Dr. Katzen has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. He's genuine and caring. He created an hourglass waistline for me with a flat abdomen. I highly recommend Dr. Katzen if you are looking for a top-notch plastic surgeon."
"Extended tummy tuck for the excess skin in my abdomen area - The best description I can give Dr. Katzen is that he is a really good surgeon with a kind soul. Anyone who has met him knows what I am saying. I was a bit hesitant to call Dr. Katzen's office at first because he is located in Beverly Hills and I thought his prices would be too high. I promised myself I would go to at least a couple of consultations so I can know my options and get second opinions of what I needed. To my surprise, Dr. Katzen's rates were comparable to the other office, but in my opinion, Dr. Katzen is much superior. Dr. Katzen suggested I get an extended tummy tuck for the excess skin I had in my abdomen area. I am so content with the surgery outcome and my care."
"I already feel like a different person - can't wait to come back - Dr. Katzen did wonders for my body and mind. I had bariatric surgery and lost over 150 pounds. After weight loss, everything drooped. I researched online for surgeons who specialize in weight loss patients like me. Dr. Katzen showed up on my top search so many different times. He had so many videos, pictures, lectures, podcast, and social media stuff pop up. There was so information about Dr. Katzen and his practice. I was very relieved to discover so of him and his work. I had the first stage of my reconstructive procedure, which is the body lift. I already feel like a different person. I can't wait to come back to Dr. Katzen finish more stages. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my plastic surgeries but him."
"My abdomen is flat and it looks good - no more beer belly - I’m a 43-year-old male patient. I had a massive “beer belly” that didn’t bother me until I met my beautiful wife (married for one year). She never once complained about my “beer belly” but I felt uncomfortable being around her family and friends. There have been many parties, some casual, and some formal that made me feel a bit out of place. I went to Dr. Katzen for my tummy tuck. Dr. Katzen is very easy to talk to, and funny too. The procedure was straightforward, I had no complications. My abdomen is flat and it looks good."
"very happy with my care, results, and overall experience - Dr. Katzen lives up to his hyped reputation. Everyone that I have encountered that knows Dr. Katzen has had really good things to say about him. Those people include my family physician, his patients that belong to the same bariatric group as I do, and my colleagues in the medical field. The procedure I had with Dr. Katzen was a Brachioplasty. He placed my incisions under my arms where it's not noticeable unless my arms are raised or turned a certain way. Dr. Katzen said my incisions should heal extremely well. I am very happy with my care, results, and overall experience."
"Loving my New Body (Body Lift and Thigh Lift) - I met Dr. Katzen at a weight loss convention. He did a presentation on Plastic Reconstructive Surgery after Weight Loss. He talked about all the common procedures that his weight loss patients have had done, such as body lift, thigh lift, breast aug, arm lift, torsoplasty, facelift, etc...I was so intrigued by him and his skills. He literally transforms bodies so beautifully. At the time, I had just had bariatric surgery. One and a half years later, I went to him for a body lift and thigh lift. He made me a new body that I love so much."
"Beautiful tummy tuck - they were helpful every step of the way - My tummy tuck experience with Dr. Timothy Katzen has been nothing but perfect. When I showed up for my initial consult, Dr. Katzen did not rush me. He let me ask as many questions as I needed to, in order to feel comfortable. Before I left the office, his staff gave me everything I needed to prepare myself for surgery. They were also very helpful every step of the way. My tummy tuck turned out beautifully."
"He reshaped my body into something I could have never imagined - How lucky am I to have found Dr. Katzen online? I understand why his patients talk so highly of him. I had a body lift with Dr. Katzen after weight loss surgery. Dr. Katzen is so talented and understanding. He's worked on hundreds of weight loss patients, so he understands our needs. My body had endured so much weight gain and loss through the years and it showed. My body had stretched out so much and had excess saggy skin all over. Dr. Katzen not only repaired the skin, but he also reshaped my body into something I could have never imagined could be done. So thankful for Dr. Katzen's knowledge, skills, and kindness."
"No more body insecurities - feel more confident in my clothing - Last year was a life-changing year for me. I was married for 8 years with 3 beautiful children. I filed for divorce and had to start a new chapter of my life. I started dating recently but found myself being insecure about my body, specifically my breasts and abdomen. I researched on Real Self and found Dr. Katzen to be the right fit for me, plus I live down the street from his Beverly Hills office. I underwent a Mommy Makeover: tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Dr. Katzen made me feel beautiful and young again. I feel more confident in my clothing and how I carry myself. Many thanks to Dr. Katzen for boosting my confidence!"
"Silicone Injection Removal then Buttock Implants - I wish I knew then what I know now about raw silicone injections. Hopefully, my story can prevent another person from getting raw silicone injected into their buttocks. I got severely ill and it took my PCP doctor many tests to finally figure out it was due to the silicone injections in my buttocks. My doctor referred me to Dr. Katzen to have the silicone removed from my buttocks and it resolved my issues. In a few months, after I completely heal, I will be coming back to Dr. Katzen to have him do buttock implants."
"Had my body reconstructed after bariatric surgery - amazing work - Feb 2020, I had bariatric surgery. Within the first year, I was able to achieve my goal weight and maintained it. I felt healthy and energetic but my loose skin was an issue and a constant reminder of my years being obese. I am in my early 40s but the excess skin on my body says otherwise. I looked like an 80-year-old woman under my clothes. Prior to weight loss surgery, I was made aware of Dr. Katzen and his amazing work. There was no doubt he was going to be the one to reconstruct my body. I had two stages of surgeries with Dr. Katzen already. The first surgery was my 360 body lift. Seven weeks later, I returned for a medial thigh lift. I am already on the schedule for my third stage, brachioplasty and breast augmentation with lift. I fully trust Dr. Katzen and his team to manage my reconstructive journey. He’s been so amazing!"
"Feeling Myself Again After Silicone Removal from my Buttocks - I am hoping my review can help someone else out. Five years ago, I didn't make such a wise decision when I agreed to accompany my friend to her procedure to have raw silicone injected into her buttocks. They all talked me into getting it done too (for a discount) and I agreed. Initially, my buttocks looked good. It was nice and full. Over time, I started feeling pain in my buttocks. My butt became disproportionate, red, and lumpy. Of course, I became very concerned and did some research. Thank goodness I found many videos of Dr. Katzen talking about the dangers of raw silicone injections. He talked about the different ways he could remove it. After consultation with Dr. Katzen, I had the silicone removed from my buttocks with him. Dr. Katzen said the silicone moved to different parts of my body, which was so wild to hear. So very grateful to find a specialist like Dr. Katzen that understands silicone removal. I feel so much better now. I plan to return to Dr. Katzen to have buttock implants in the future."
"Posterior buttocks lift right side only - he finally fixed me - Hello, I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Katzen & the team. I am beyond grateful I found him. Dr. Katzen and his team are amazing. From scheduling my surgery to my recovery, I was always treated with good care. Dr. Katzen always made me feel comfortable such a sweet caring person and very humble. I had a BBL done in 2015 by a famous Doctor and my outcome wasn't what I thought it would be. I came out with an asymmetry issue :( My right side of my buttock was bigger and saggy, I also didn't help my situation by gaining weight after being depressed about it. I went to two different surgeons to try and fix my problem the first one suggested liposuction with laser tightening treatment, but that didn't work I felt like my right buttocks sagged even more. So I left it alone and continued with life. I ended up getting pregnant had my baby and I lost weight, well I felt like I was sagging more. So I had a Posterior buttocks lift with another surgeon, well guess what I was left with the same issue one side was bigger than the other. at that point I was distraught. I felt helpless and mad at myself for not doing things right the first time. I finally found Dr. Katzen the only doctor that took the time to go over everything he didn't rush me or judge me and listen to my concerns. I don't live in California so I had a consultation over the phone with him, but he made me feel so comfortable and happy that he would be able to help me. I traveled there for my surgery and during my, in-person consultation he went over step by step every detail of my surgery. I am so thankful for your professionalism, kindness & for just listening to me. You fixed me finally after all I had been through Dr. Katzen was the only one that did it right! I don't have to walk around self-conscious about my body, I don't have to cover myself with sweaters around my waist in 100° weather. I can finally be out in public with my family without having them be prisoners of my mistake. Just some advice if you get surgery do it right the first time, don't let social media fool you find someone professional and with lots of experience like Dr.Katzen! Thank you again Dr. Katzen & Team!"
"You will not find a more caring and skilled surgeon than Dr. Katzen. I went through significant weight loss and had to go through a body lift and I am so glad I ended up going with Dr. Katzen. It is a big decision and a surgery and he and his team will make sure that they make you feel comfortable and make you a priority from start to finish. There is no ego here. Just a Dr. that truly wants all his patients to be their best self. Thank you Dr. Katzen!"
"Thigh lift and body lift at the same time after losing 150 lbs - After weight loss surgery, I lost 150 pounds. I NEEDED a body lift and thigh lift so badly. Dr. Katzen was able to combine both of those surgeries for me. Because it was a long surgery, I stayed at a recovery center for 2 days. Dr. Katzen came by the recovery center to check on me both days to make sure I was comfortable and doing well. I just love his bedside manner so much. The nurses also took wonderful care of me. My body lift and thigh lift made a massive difference in my body shape. I have gone down 4 to 6 clothing sizes (depending on the brand). I'm in love with my body."
"Body Lift with a Talented and Reliable Plastic Surgeon - Let me tell you about this plastic surgeon, Dr. Katzen, whom I met at a weight loss conference. I first attended one of Dr. Katzen's talks and left feeling so hopeful for the day I was going to have my own surgery with him. I scheduled a consultation the same day and immediately booked surgery for the summer. Dr. Katzen is genuinely kind, and caring and is an expert in his field. He's performed hundreds of surgeries just within the weight loss community alone. Dr. Katzen did my body lift and it looks incredible. I highly recommend checking Dr. Katzen if you are looking for a reliable and talented surgeon."
"Arm lift revision to fix someone else's mistake - brilliant from day 1! - I have to say what a breathe of fresh air to meet a surgeon, who takes the time to listen to your concerns, and gives doesn't give you unreal expectations. Given he was doing an arm lift revision, he was fixing someone else's mistake.He spent time explaining what needed to be done, and make sure I felt safe, as I was mentally scared from my last surgery elsewhere.I am so pleased with the results and I'm still healing, as my surgery was on in May this year. I want to thank Dr Katzen and his amazing team, to making me feel like I mattered and was not just another patient."
"Felt Better Mentally and Physically After Silicone Injection Removal from Buttocks - I learned so much about silicone injection from following Dr. Katzen on Youtube and Instagram. He shows footage of how dangerous it is to have silicone injections in the buttocks and how he can remove them. I am one of the patients that experienced major problems with having silicone injections from another facility. I should have known better but I did not do enough research before having the illegal injections. Fast forward, thank goodness for Dr. Katzen. Dr. Katzen was able to get me on the schedule fairly quickly and performed silicone removal on my buttocks. Let me tell you the feeling of relief after my surgery was lifted. I felt so much better both physically and mentally."
"Dr. Katzen is a well known plastic surgeon in the bariatric community. He specializes in 360 lower body lifts, I knew this was what I wanted so I reached out. I had 3 other consultations with surgeons here in the US and Mexico. Dr. Katzen was the only one who didn’t recommend a FDL. He got me the result I wanted without cutting me vertically. The muscle repair was super important to me too. Dr. Katzen is thorough and you won’t waste money going to him. You’ll be pleased with his work. I got a 360 LBL and breast lift with augmentation. If I get a thigh reduction I’ll go to him as a repeat patient."
"After much research, I chose Dr. Katzen to perform my arm lift and I would choose him again a million more times! From the initial consultation to the surgery, to the post-op care and the various follow-ups, he has always shown the utmost professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for me and my concerns. He has never made me feel rushed and has always taken all the time needed to answer my questions. I just knew I was in excellent hands. I felt at ease during all the phases of my arm lift journey because Dr Katzen is so prepared and experienced, but also very personable. He is warm and kind without ever sounding fake or exaggerated. He is fun and a pleasure to chit-chat with to boot. Most importantly, my arms look amazing. He did a phenomenal job and my recovery was uneventful. My scars didn't heal too well (of course not his fault), but Dr. Katzen has gone out of his way to minimize their appearance by offering various treatments. He takes a lot of pride in his work and clearly wants his patients to be happy, so he sees his work through. Last, I found his office and staff to be great as well: I always feel at home when I go for follow-ups (thank you Anna, Kiara, Talia and everybody else). In short, I highly recommend Dr. Katzen!"
"Vaser guided lipo for buttock silicone injection removal - now have zero pain - First off like Dr. Katzen likes to say "if you are thinking of getting silicone injections DON'T". I was misguided and made the horrible decision to get silicone injection in the buttocks. It was the biggest mistake i have ever made. After much research I found Dr. Katzen and scheduled an appointment to meet with him. Yes he is not the most cost efficient option but you get what you pay for with this amazing doctor. I was having lots of pain in the legs and lower back. At times i struggled to walk as the silicone was traveling to different parts of my body, i was getting worse and worse as the time went. Doctor scheduled an MRI and found the Vaser guided lipo was the best option for me. I went in and had the surgery in horrible shape, he did an amazing job removing the silicone as I now have zero pain and am able to move like normal. Dr. Katzen was very helpful, professional, detailed and caring unlike other plastic surgeons I have dealt with in the past. His staff is amazing Talia and Anna are amazing. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a plastic surgeon, the best in the business! So much so that i will be returning to Dr. Katzen for my reconstruction surgery. Thank you Dr. Katzen for helping me through this nightmare and bringing me back to my normal self."
"Dr Katzen performed a revision arm lift, and i gave him a real challenge with scar tissue. From the moment i had my first consultation to my last appointment before heading back to my home country, i cannot talk highly enough of the Dr Katzen and his team. Bedside manner from a surgeon, is hard to find, and Dr Katzen makes you feel like you are his only patient. His craftsmanship on my arms, I am amazing how he took time to get them look amazing. I am only 8 weeks post op, and cant wait to show my arms off once again."
"He is thorough, experienced, & knows how to explain what he is going to do - In 2005, I received illegal butt shots in my hips and buttocks area. I was told by the injector that saline was injected in me. Periodically, I would get striking pain in my groin area & never associated it with the illegal substance that was in me. My groin area was so hard like straw with cement in it. I found out from Dr. Katzen the substance is free flow and it was in my lymph nodes. It also spread to my left leg below my knee.When I used the restroom & sat too long on the toilet, my legs would get numb. When I stood up, I couldn't walk because it was so painful.Some years back, I had heard K Michelle the R & B singer talk about removal of the illegal substance in her behind. I was afraid to listen to her story & finally I listen & it scared me. I schedule my appt with Dr. Katzen because he is thorough, experienced, & knows how to explain what he is going to do.He doesn't sugar coat anything and that's what I love about him. He's real and doesn't give unrealistic expectations.I had heard some females say, Dr. Katzen will butcher you. I told them, 1st of all, he didn't do this to us, he's only helping & how else is he going to get it out of us if it's in the muscle.So far, I'm not hurting & waiting on my 2nd surgery on March 6, 2023. Dr. Katzen's staff is so professional. I really love Anna.Updated on 13 Jul 2022:My surgery was on March 31, 2022 and I sat down for the 1st time in a recline position on May 12. 8 weeks after my surgery, I started to drive a little and sit upright. I slept on my stomach for 10 weeks. I used the bathroom standing up in a small mop bucket. When my cycle came on, I used gorilla tape to tape down my pad in front and behind my compression garment because you can't wear panties. Dr. Katzen told me to take 2 oxycodone pills every 6 hours and it really helped me with the pain.Updated on 23 Dec 2022:Here are images since I had surgery March 31, 2022 with Dr. Katzen. He did an excellent job getting thus toxic poison out of me. My refill in the dents surgery is March 28, 2023 & I'm so excited.Updated on 9 Jan 2023:A working progress. Check me out Dr. Katzen. My self esteem was so low after surgery on March 31, 2022.I made the worse mistake having illegal silicone injected placed in my buttocks & hip area. Dr Katzen got 98% of it out. Dr. Katzen, you are about to give me my confidence back on March 29, 2023.Anyone need emotional support, email me at [email protected], trust me, u will need it.I can't wait til the end of March so I can closed this chapter of my life.Updated on 8 Feb 2023:I just want to set the record about Dr. Katzen. I had silicone injection removal in March 2022 & will be having my Reconstructive BBL next month in March 2023.I have come across 2 people bashing Dr. Katzen & I am a witness that he is an excellent, experienced, top-of-the-line plastic surgeon I haven't had anymore striking pain in my groin areas or lower left leg under my knee.The first thing you have to realize is Dr. Katzen didn't put this injected toxin in our bodies. You 2 ladies have totally forgotten who put you in this padicument. He is here to help.There is no excuse for anyone to think he is going to get 100% of the biopolymers out of your body. The paperwork is emailed to us, so there's no excuse you can always go back & read what you initialed & signed.You could have gone somewhere else. It was a choice. Yes, I cried when I read the paperwork because I didn't know what my outcome would be. Now, it has been almost a year, I am satisfied with Dr. Katzen's work. I have dents & it's to be expected because my injections had migrated to my muscle over the 17 year span.For those of you who are skeptical about Dr. Katzen, he is competent for the job. Obtain a virtual consultation. You'll be proud that you did."
"Dr. Katzen told me that based on my MRI, my silicone was in the muscle. He explained my options to me and told me that the VASER lipo wouldn't remove all the silicone, so I went for the cut technique because my health is more important. I didn't have any pain when I woke up from anesthesia. I had no infections or complications from surgery. Dr. Katzen is friendly and caring. He definitely knows what he is doing, which is why I'll be back. I knew exactly what to expect and he made my incision exactly where he said he would. There were no surprises. Everybody in the office is friendly and Talia, the PA, called to check on me after surgery which was really nice. I never felt rushed in the office. I rate Dr. Katzen a 10/10!"
"Dr. Katzen and his team have been amazing since the first moment I contacted them. There are too many wonderful things to say about Dr. Katzen to list here! He is a very talented surgeon who genuinely cares for his patients. I am an out of state patient and he would always answer his personal line anytime I called with a question or concern after surgery. I must also mention that he has the BEST physician assistant, Talia. She has been so helpful and, without her assistance, this process would have been beyond stressful! His entire staff are wonderful as well. Dr. Katzen gave me results beyond my expectations and I highly recommend him for post weight loss surgery!"
"I knew he would take good care of me - My experience with Dr. Katzen is a family story. My husband had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Katzen last year. My husband had the best possible experience with his surgery, he referred his sister to have a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen. Throughout the process, I watched my husband and sister-in-law being completely happy with their surgeries and I was wanting to have liposuction on my abs. Without any hesitation, I went straight to Dr. Katzen. I knew he would take good care of me, just like he did my family and he did."
"Wanted nothing but the best money can buy - exceeded expectations - The thought process of having elective surgery for me was a well-thought-out process. Because I paid cash for my tummy tuck and breast augmentation, I wanted nothing but the best money can buy. I was not willing to settle for a mediocre surgeon just to save a few dollars, although I got lucky with finding Dr. Katzen. His prices are comparable to other plastic surgeons. I am grateful for Dr. Katzen. He exceeded my expectations all around."
"Body lift over 15 years ago and my body still looks amazing - I had a body lift with Dr. Katzen over 15 years ago and my body still looks amazing. I bumped into Dr. Katzen recently which is why it prompted me to write this review. Dr. Katzen has not changed a bit, he is still that kind man that did my surgery many years ago. I love seeing him still successful and thriving."
"Buttock Implants Gave my Body the Shape I Have Always Dreamed Of. - For context, I am 5'4" and weigh 102 lbs. I wanted a Brazilian butt lift but I did not have sufficient fat to do a fat transfer. Dr. Katzen suggested a butt implant. I am so pleased with how full my buttocks look. I finally have curves in all the right places. I am now able to wear all types of clothing and look cute in them."
"Silicone Injection Removal from Lips and Buttocks - I learned the expensive way that trying to go cheap doesn't always pay off. I work at a club where many of the girls had silicone injections in their lips and butt. I jumped on the bandwagon and got them done too. A few months after silicone injections, some of us experienced problems. We collectively did research and found an amazing surgeon, Dr. Katzen, in Beverly Hills that removed these silicone injections. Dr. Katzen said these silicone injections are bad and illegal to inject into our bodies. These silicones had traveled to different parts of our bodies but luckily Dr. Katzen was able to remove them. We're all so grateful to have found Dr. Katzen when we did. Things could have gone much worse."
"Body and Thigh Lift After Gastric Sleeve - I Feel So Confident - Dr. Timothy Katzen is the best surgeon, hands down! I lost 121 pounds through a gastric sleeve. My weight loss journey has been full of emotions, but when I met Dr. Katzen, he fully understood me. He's done so many weight loss patients and understands our needs and our bodies. I underwent the 360 circumferential body lift and a thigh lift. Not only did Dr. Katzen fully transform my body, but he also transformed my mental state. I feel so confident with myself for the first time in a very long long time."
"Abdomen is super tight, incision lines are clean & smooth & cute belly button - What an incredible surgeon Dr. Katzen is. Dr. Katzen did my tummy tuck and his care has me in tears. This man is so nice and an incredibly good surgeon. Dr. Katzen made my abdomen super tight and my incision lines are so clean and smooth. Dr. Katzen not only does a tummy tuck, but he sewed my rectus muscles together to create an hourglass figure for me. And guess what else is cool? He created a new belly button that is so cute! I feel so blessed that Dr. Katzen is my plastic surgeon."
"Best Friends Having Silicone Removal in Buttocks Together, then BBL - So many young people like myself fall victim to silicone injections. I was 21 years old when my best friend talked me into getting silicone injections into my butt. She and I both had it done and we both deeply regret it. We were living in fear that something bad was happening to us. We both had symptoms that were just downright scary, pain, redness, like a brain fog feeling, panic attacks, and more. It was a terrifying time when we read about other things that have happened to others who also had silicone injections. We both did our research to find the best surgeon to remove the silicone in our buttocks. We both agreed that Dr. Katzen was our top choice, after all, he performs silicone removals on a regular basis. Not only did we both have silicone removal from Dr. Katzen, we both later returned to him for BBL. Dr. Katzen is a gem!"
"Brazilian Butt Lift Before my Summer Cruise - Back in January, I wanted to prep my body for my upcoming summer plans. My single girlfriends and I will be taking a long cruise and that means lots of bikinis will be packed. My buttocks were on the smaller side so I opted to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Katzen. Oh MY! Dr. Katzen did a fabulous job and my buttocks look marvelous! I cannot wait to get into my bikinis this summer and enjoy my vacay with my girls."
"My thighs turned out beautiful and recovery was not as bad as what I thought it would be - I've gone through a few reconstructive plastic surgeries after bariatric surgery but somehow the thigh lift surgery was the one that made me the most nervous. I heard so many things from others in the weight loss forums that I belong to, that it made me have a second thought about having the thigh lift surgery. One day while I was in the forum to research some more, I found one of Dr. Katzen's patient who had muliple surgeries with him, including a thigh lift. She had nothing but great things to say about him. I made a phone consultation appointment to talk to Dr. Katzen, I live in Ohio. Prior to the phone appointment, the office had me fill out the paperwork and had me sent some pictures of my thighs. Dr. Katzen was able to mark the areas in the pictures and approximate how much skin and fat he can remove. He was so pleasant to talk to. I flew out a few days before surgery and met him in person. He was more amazing than ever which calmed my nerves. My thighs turned out beautiful and recovery was not as bad as what I thought it would be. Dr. Katzen gave many suggestions of what to do to prep for post op, and I followed his instructions carefully. Would I do this again? Yes, in a heartbeat! This thigh lift surgery has changed my life."
"A Plastic Surgeon You Can Trust - Dr. Katzen is a surgeon you can trust. Surgery is a major deal so I consulted with 4 plastic surgeons before meeting Dr. Katzen. I felt a warm feeling the minute I met Dr. Katzen and knew I would choose him to perform my body lift procedure. The way I was so relaxed around Dr. Katzen gave me comfort knowing he would be there for me throughout my body lift surgery and aftercare. I left a message with Dr. Katzen on one occasion and was so pleasantly surprised by how fast he called me back. He is a very busy man, so that made me feel good."
"Liposuction of abdomen with great results - recovery was smooth & normal - Dr. Timothy Katzen performed liposuction on my abdomen and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My recovery was smooth and normal. Dr. Katzen treats his patients with kindness and respect, something I find rare in surgeons. Prior to meeting with Dr. Katzen, I consulted with two other surgeons and they treated me more like a number than a person. I am beyond grateful that I found Dr. Katzen and get to call him my surgeon."
"Silicone Removal from Buttocks then BBL Soon - There are so many people out there like myself who were not educated about the dangers of raw silicone injections. I made a horrible decision to get silicone injections in my butt because it was cheaper than getting a BBL. Boy, do I regret my decision. I experienced numerous problems that could have potentially gotten worse if I didn't have the silicone removed when I did. Thank goodness for surgeons like Dr. Katzen that don't judge you for the bad choices we made. He removed the silicone from my buttocks and I will be returning to him soon to have a BBL to do it the right way this time."
"Toned Muscular Abdomen and Arms After VASER Hi Def Procedures - When I originally looked Dr. Katzen up on Real Self, I was just browsing liposuction procedures. To my sweet surprise, I noticed Dr. Katzen does VASER High Definition procedures. Woah, his before and after pictures looked so good! After much research, I ended up having the VASER High Definition procedure on my abdomen and arms. Dr. Katzen gave me a toned, muscular look which I absolutely love so much."
"Neck Lipo Made Me Look Younger and Slimmer. - I came to Dr. Katzen because my neck was bothering me. I had a fatty neck that never went away even after I lost weight. I thought Dr. Katzen would have said I needed a neck lift but he said neck liposuction would be a great plan for me. On the day of my final post-op visit, when Dr. Katzen did the final reveal and I've healed well, I literally cried. My neck looked so much better than I could have imagined. I look slimmer and younger instantly. Thank you so much, Dr. Katzen!"
"The care I received is more than what I expected - My review is going to be short, sweet, and straight to the point. Dr. Katzen is the plastic surgeon that performed a tummy tuck on me. He's amazing, his surgical team is amazing, and his office staff is amazing. The care I received from him and his team is more than what I expected. They're all so sweet and professional."
"My Body Shape Changed in Such a Good Way After Body Lift - Two months ago, I had a body lift with Dr. Katzen and I feel so good. During the body lift procedure, he removed 19 pounds of skin and fat in my abdomen. In addition, Dr. Katzen also sewed my rectus muscles and gave me an hourglass figure. He also created a new belly button which is so much cuter than the belly button I had before. I followed Dr. Katzen's instructions and healed so perfectly. My results were instant, I saw how different my body shape was. I cried happy tears when I saw how good I looked."
"Body Lift and Thigh Lift Done, Next is Breast Aug and Arm Lift - In 2020, I had RNY and successfully lost over 100 pounds. My quest to be healthy has been fulfilled, but I had to deal with loose skin that looked very unattractive. I was told about Dr. Katzen through an online bariatric support group. A few of his post-ops are in the group and they all had such kind things to say about him. I ended up having a body lift and thigh lift with Dr. Katzen and let me just say, these gals in the online forum have been angel sent. They provided me with the most amazing support after my surgery. They checked up on me and gave me some tips on how to recover well based on their own experiences. Of course, Dr. Katzen and his staff were great throughout the process but having extra support from others was pretty darn nice. I am having breast augmentation and arm lift next. I am definitely returning to Dr. Katzen this fall to have it done."
"I feel normal, beautiful, and whole again after my transformation - I met Dr. Katzen at a weight-loss conference in Las Vegas a few years back. He was one of the main speakers at the event. I remember sitting in the audience when he was presenting his talk which was full of before and after images. At this time, I had just undergone bariatric surgery. I was so intrigued by his work and followed him on all his social media. After a year of weight loss surgery, it was time for me to have a body lift. Of course, without hesitation, I booked a consultation with Dr. Katzen and finished my transformation. I feel normal, beautiful, and whole again. Dr. Katzen without a doubt is the most trusted surgeon specializing in weight loss patients."
"The incisions are hidden quite well and placement was great - In March 2022, I had brachioplasty with Dr. Timothy Katzen. My sister had the same surgery with him last year and she could not stop talking about how wonderful Dr. Katzen is, now I see why. Both my sister and I have fantastic outcomes for the arm lift. The incisions are hidden quite well and placement was great. She and I normally heal from our scars nicely so I expect the same with our incisions. Dr. Katzen and his staff have been so pleasant to work with. I will definitely return to Dr. Katzen if I decide to do any more work to myself. :)"
"After 3 Kids, I Had a Mommy Makeover Procedure, Which I Am So Happy I Did - I have 3 kids, ages 3,5, and 7. I used to be thin prior to having kids but my body has changed tremendously over the years. My abdomen and breast took a toll. It was not something I can go to the gym to work out, plus, honestly, I do not have the time with my busy schedule of working full time and taking care of 3 small children. I resorted to plastic surgery for some help. My best friend had surgery with Dr. Katzen so I knew of him and his work. I had a mommy makeover and couldn't be more happy with how it turned out."
"Lucky to be one of his patients - this doctor is a genius - You know you've hit the jackpot when you've discovered Dr. Katzen. For those of you who are lucky enough to be his patient, you know exactly what I am talking about. This man is a genius! He's so good at performing surgeries, I had an arm lift and breast lift. His demeanor is so kind, smart, genuine, and overall an amazing human being. He's done so much charity work for organizations that need him. If you are looking for an amazing plastic surgeon, go check Dr. Timothy Katzen out."
"Body Lift Procedure Done with Perfection - I've spent the last year on Real Self researching for the right plastic surgeon to perform my 360 body lift procedure. I narrowed my choices to two surgeons. Both surgeons were located in the Los Angeles area where I live and both had great qualifications. I visited both surgeons in their offices for consultations, my choice was made easy. Dr. Katzen is very experienced with patients who have gone through massive weight loss and it was comforting to know that he did so many body lift procedures with amazing results. He had books and books with before and after photos of his patients. The cherry on top was how amazing Dr. Katzen is as a person. He doesn't talk down to you and has such a big heart."
"I Look and Feel So Much Younger! - Many people in my life have complimented my appearance lately after undergoing a tummy tuck and neck lipo. I went down 4 dress sizes after my tummy tuck and it has made such a big difference in how my clothes fit, the type of clothes I can now wear, and how I look and carry myself. As for my neck, everyone tells me I look much more slender in the face and much younger. All in all, I look and feel amazing. I love my transformation so much. Dr. Katzen did a fantastic job with both the tummy tuck and neck liposuction."
"Body Lift, Thigh Lift, Arm Lift and Neck Lift....yes, I Had It All. - My weight loss journey started in 2020. The first two months after bariatric surgery, I already noticed my belly started to hang. I told my friends and family that I would need a tummy tuck for sure, but nothing else. Boy was I wrong! After 10 months, everything sagged; my breasts, arms, thighs, face. Dr. Katzen came to the rescue. I knew about him through my daughter's friend's mom. I ended up having a body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, and neck lift. These surgeries were done in stages. I haven't had my breasts done yet, maybe one day. I already had trust in Dr. Katzen because I felt like I already knew so much about him. Actually meeting him in person and going through the surgeries made me appreciate him so much. He is such a lifesaver."
"Great surgeon - he has great qualifications and a pleasant attitude - I consulted for tummy tuck surgery with 3 surgeons before meeting Dr. Katzen. All the surgeons I consulted with were in Beverly Hills since that's where I live and there were plenty of surgeons to choose from with great qualifications. The first 3 surgeons had great qualifications but were so cocky, some less than others. I thought I was going to just settle until I met Dr. Katzen. He is just as qualified, if not more, but with a pleasant attitude. Win win for me!"
"Silicone Removal Done, Waiting for Summer to Get Buttock Implants - I regret having raw silicone injected into my buttocks. If I did my research I would have known how harmful this was. I saw several videos from Dr. Katzen explaining the side effects of raw silicone injection and how he recommends for them to be removed. Having silicone injections was such a trendy thing to do but I don't think many people realize how dangerous it is. I'm just glad I had silicone removal from my buttocks. I am due to return to Dr. Katzen this summer to get buttock implants."
"Bariatric patient, 360 body lift - most caring surgeon - I was looking for a plastic surgeon to do my 360 body lift. I had 3 different appointments and let me tell you when I met Dr. Katzen, that was it. I instantly knew he was the surgeon that was going to perform my surgery. There's so much to us bariatric patients that is complicated and Dr. Katzen knew how to handle patients like me. I just love how caring Dr. Katzen and his team are. My only regret is I wished I would have done all this sooner."
"So glad I went with him - my abdomen is flat and I have an hourglass - Something I don't see many moms of twins talk about is how much our skin stretches after our pregnancy and how depressing that is. My twins are now two years old and I have tried so hard to get my body to bounce back but it's not happening. For my birthday this year, my husband's gift to me was a tummy tuck. My husband works at a hospital and heard of Dr. Katzen's high reputation and booked my consultation with him. When I met Dr. Katzen, my heart felt so happy. Dr. Katzen tugged my skin and said "this is how much I can remove from your abdomen". Those words were hopeful and joyful. Fast forward to surgery day. I felt nervous, but my husband was by my side and Dr. Katzen's calm demeanor helped. My abdomen is very flat and I have an hourglass figure as well. Dr. Katzen is fantastic. He lives up to the hype!"
"Preparation is Key to a Successful Thigh Lift Recovery - Here's my medial thigh lift review: I was nervous about having this surgery but I felt like Dr. Katzen helped me through this process like the pro that he is. I was well prepared prior to have this surgery. I prepped food, medications, protein drinks, books, and entertainment, slept in a comfy recliner downstairs, etc...Being prepared helped me not just physically but also mentally. I felt like it made a big difference in my recovery. My thighs look amazing, I couldn't have asked for a better outcome."
"Neck liposuction and chemical peel - so happy with how my neck looks - I came to my consultation appointment with Dr. Katzen expecting to have a neck lift but instead, he said he could fix my double chin problem with just neck liposuction. I was thrilled. I asked for the first opening he had on his surgery schedule and the rest was history. I am so happy with how my neck looks. I can't believe Dr. Katzen was able to perform a neck lipo and got the results I got, it's incredible. Since I was going to be under anesthesia, I also asked for a chemical peel, I'm so glad I did."
"Compassionate surgeon who specializes in body lift procedures - Quick background about me. I had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and lost 138 pounds. The very top priority of things that needed to be done after weight loss was a 360 circumferential bodylift procedure. Body Lift is a pretty big surgery and I needed to take my time to find a surgeon I can trust and who has done many of these surgeries. Without a shadow of a doubt, Dr. Katzen was a solid option to perform my surgery but my husband insisted I needed to consult with a second plastic surgeon to compare. This other surgeon was a popular surgeon in Beverly Hills as well, but I was not comfortable with him whatsoever. He spoke to me in a way that made me uncomfortable and he did not have as many body lift cases as Dr. Katzen did, not even close. My husband and I confidently decided Dr. Katzen was doing my body lift and we have no regrets. Dr. Katzen's work shows for itself. There are hundreds of pictures of his body lift procedures on his website and here on Real Self. I am pretty certain, he'll be adding my pictures to his gallery as well."
"My stomach is back to how it looked in my twenties - Before I get into my surgery, I want to tell you about my plastic surgeon, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. This man is wonderful with his hands, he's also so caring and sincere. He is such a perfectionist with scar placement and my incisions look so good. I had a mommy makeover and everyone keeps telling me how amazing I look. I went from saggy breast to perky and full. My stomach is back to how it looked in my twenties. I couldn't be happier with my mommy makeover."
"I had a brachioplasty performed by Dr. Katzen a month ago. I am so thrilled with the results! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Katzen!"
"Found the Surgeon for my Tummy Tuck on Real Self, Very Happy! - I had 2 kids in my 20s and my abdomen was never the same afterward. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and would do it all over again. I found Dr. Timothy Katzen on Real Self and loved everything about him. I love the way he answers the questions, the way his patients talk about him, how he shares so many of his pictures and videos, basically everything. I had my tummy tuck procedure and he did not disappoint. It was how I dreamed my tummy would look after surgery. Oh, I also need to mention how kind and polite this man is. Dr. Katzen is everything!"
"No more inner thighs rashes after medial thigh lift - Before I had my gastric sleeve procedure, I was already having problems with my thighs rubbing together and chafing. I was hoping after I lost over 100 pounds, my thighs would not be in pain from the chafing anymore, but that was not the case. My bariatric surgeon recommended Dr. Katzen for a medial thigh lift and that's what I had. I am so grateful for Dr. Katzen, he's changed my life for the better. I no longer have rashes or pain in my inner thighs anymore."
"My Body is Ready for the Beach After VASER Hi-Def of Abdomen and Arms - I heard about Dr. Katzen through a colleague and was just interested in liposuction of my arms and abdomen. As I awaited my appointment date, I went on Dr. Katzen's website to do further research. To my surprise, I learned about VASER High Definition procedures and it immediately piqued my interest. During my consultation with Dr. Katzen, I asked a lot of questions about this VASER procedure and was sold when Dr. Katzen pulled up an entire album of pictures. Woah, the VASER lipo procedures produce such awesome results. I had VASER hi-def of arms and abdomen and I am still amazed at how my body looks. My body is already beach and vacation-ready."
"Male's Perspective on Tummy Tuck - I don't see many reviews on here from men so I'm going to give a male's perspective on plastic surgery. As men, I feel we accept our bodies more than females do, but why can't we look our best and feel our best? For me personally, I underwent a tummy tuck and it truly was one of the best gifts I have treated myself to. Everyone around me compliments how great I look and it makes me feel good and self-assured. I found this surgeon in Beverly Hills that is amazing at tummy tucks along with other procedures. His name is doctor J. Timothy Katzen. He's easy to talk to and his entire team is well put together. He has a calmness about him where you feel safe being under his care. He's truly top-notch!"
"Body Lift with 19 Pounds of Fat and Excess Skin Removed - After a successful year of weight loss, I was prepared for the next step of my journey, which is reconstructive plastic surgery with Dr. Timothy Katzen. I had a body lift where Dr. Katzen removed 19 pounds of fat and excessive skin. I have never looked so good in all of my adult life. I was finally free from obesity and excess skin. The best word to describe how I feel now is confidence. Since my body lift, I feel different, I carry myself differently, I dress differently. All good things. Life is so good now."
"Super clean tummy tuck incision & my abdomen is flat - The tummy tuck procedure has been on my list of things I wanted to do. There are so many plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills to choose from, but ultimately I chose Dr. Katzen because of his credentials, experience, results, and personality/character. Dr. Katzen made a super clean incision and my abdomen is flat as can be. I love my tummy tuck."
"Wonderful job - my thighs have never looked so good and small - I've had two surgeries with Dr. Timothy Katzen, but today's review is for my medial thigh lift. Thigh lift surgery made me nervous because of how long the incision was going to be and the placement of the incisions. I knew this surgery was probably the rougher procedure to recover from between the two surgeries I had. To be transparent, the thigh lift surgery recovery was painful, but Dr. Katzen was so wonderful with prescribing me the pain meds I needed. I wore compression garments and was prepared with a recovery station at my house. My wonderful husband was also a great support during recovery. Dr. Katzen was amazing with the thigh lift surgery, my thighs have never looked so good and small. Dr. Katzen has one of the best bedside manners I have ever seen.....ever! He was kind to me and my husband every single time he had an encounter with us. He would spend time answering questions and never made us feel rushed. Dr. Katzen is just amazing all around. You can also tell he treats his staff well by how he interacts with them."
"360 body lift and medial thigh lift after 129 lbs weight loss - I am from Las Vegas, Nevada, and found Dr. Katzen to be the best fit for my reconstructive surgeries, so I gladly drove to California for my procedures. I had roux-en-y gastric bypass and lost 129 pounds. Dr. Katzen did my 360 body lift and medial thigh lift after my weight loss. Dr. Katzen has over 20 years of experience, specifically on weight loss patients and the results show how great his techniques really are. I just found out Dr. Katzen is lecturing at the Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America conference this weekend in Henderson, NV. If you are in the Vegas area and want a consultation with him, you better do yourself a favor and call his office. I am one of the lucky ones to call him my surgeon!"
"Back in the dating scene and needed to do something to feel and look better - Having a tummy tuck earlier this year is one of the best feelings I've experienced. I am back in the dating scene and felt like I needed to do something to feel better and look better. It's been almost 2 months since my tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen and I can say, I feel much more confident with myself. As far as my experience with Dr. Katzen and his team, it was very pleasant. Dr. Katzen and his office staff are professional and very friendly. Oh, and let's not forget to mention I had a tummy tuck reveal to my closest friends (because they wanted to see it), they were blown away with the results!"
"Life changing arm lift after weight loss surgery - For those of you who have gone through weight loss surgery, you can relate to my issues. I had "bat arms" after losing so much weight. My arms were always getting rashes from rubbing against my skin. Finding tops that can fit me was horrible. I constantly wore long sleeves just to cover up my arms, even on hot days. When I had surgery with Dr. Katzen, my life changed. Most people take for granted how they can shop for clothes off the rack without any problems. I can finally do that, and it feels so good. I no longer deal with rashes and pain in my arms. I feel amazing."
"Entire Overhaul Makeover on my Body - Oh, how my life has changed so much in the last two years. First, I had bariatric surgery and lost a very significant amount of weight, over 150 pounds. I felt great and looked good in clothing, but what the world couldn't see under my clothes, was what I dreaded the most. My skin was comparable to a Shar Pei dog. It was saggy, loose, and super wrinkled. I turned to Dr. Timothy Katzen for a full-body overhaul. I had a body lift, thigh lift, vertical torsoplasty, breast lift, breast augmentation, arm lift, and neck lift. Of course, all that wasn't done in one round of surgery, I had them in different stages. All I can say is Dr. Katzen is an amazing surgeon! He's worked on many bariatric patients like myself so he is very good at what he does. Dr. Katzen is more than what you would find in a typical plastic surgeon. He's so kind, down-to-earth, easy to understand, and comes with an amazing staff. Highly highly recommend Dr. Katzen if you are looking for a plastic surgeon."
"My tummy tuck is so flat, I can bounce a quarter off my abs - I am in my mid 40's, gone through childbirth and I was ready to get my abs back to being small and cute again. I was tired of wearing baggy clothes due to my insecurities in my mid-section. I was referred to Dr. Katzen by my sweet sister-in-law. She has had some plastic surgeries done with him last year and was really pleased with Dr. Katzen and his work. When I met Dr. Katzen for the first time, I knew I did not have to search for another surgeon for comparison. Dr. Katzen is confident but still very kind and gentle. His bedside manner is top tier. As for my tummy tuck, it's so flat, I can bounce a quarter off my abs."
"Vaser lipo in abdomen 1 month post - perfected my abs - My experience with the VASER liposuction in the abdomen was excellent. I've always wanted this procedure but was holding out until the time was right. All I can say is, Dr. Katzen knows exactly what he is doing. He perfected my abs, it's out of this world. My only regret is, I wish I would have done this sooner."
"2 months post 360 circumferential body lift after 100lbs weight loss - My weight loss journey began a year and 8 months ago. I started off at 265 pounds, had bariatric surgery, and lost 100 pounds. Finding Dr. Katzen was a no brainer. He is the top surgeon for reconstructive surgeries after weight loss. I live in PA but happily traveled to California for my 360 circumferential body lift. I was able to do most things over the phone prior to my surgery. I had the surgery in California and stayed in town for about 2 weeks. Dr. Katzen checked on me daily and made me feel really special and cared for. My friends asked me if it was worth traveling to California for this procedure with Dr. Katzen and my response is "absolutely yes"!"
"Took advantage of "working from home" to have some work done - I took advantage of "working from home" to have some work done on my buttocks. I only needed to take off 2 days of actual work and the rest, I was able to work remotely, which was so nice! Plus, I have a very cool boss that allowed me to do this. I basically had a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Katzen and he did a fantastic job. I had been following his work the last few months and figured no better time than now to get it done. I'm so glad I did."
"Liposuction of abdomen - no complications and healed beautifully - My experience with liposuction is uneventful, which is a good thing! I had liposuction on my abdomen and healed beautifully. I followed Dr. Katzen's instructions and had no complications or issues. Dr. Katzen is a true gentleman, kind, caring, helpful, perfectionist, and skilled. Overall a great experience with liposuction."
"Even after the weight loss, I felt fat due to my excess skin - I lost 145 pounds with a duodenal switch procedure two years ago. This may sound crazy, but even after the weight loss, I felt fat due to my excess skin all over my body. My wrinkly skin was something I couldn't hide and it was a constant reminder of my former obese body. Thank goodness I found Dr. Katzen who helped me with reconstructing my body. My first procedure with him was a body lift and thigh lift. After 8 weeks of recovery, I felt good enough to come back for an arm lift and breast augmentation/lift. Dr. Katzen is the surgeon for what I needed. He's worked on many weight loss patients and understands our needs and wants. Oh! And his credentials are very impressive!"
"Thigh Lift, Preparation is Key to a Successful Recovery - I've had two separate surgeries with Dr. Katzen, but I am going to review the most recent procedure I had, which is a medial thigh lift. I was nervous going in for the thigh lift procedure because everyone said this is a tough surgery and recovery is no fun. Well, they are kinda right. Compared to other surgeries I went through, the thigh lift was the most difficult, but if you prepare properly, recovery is a lot easier. Dr. Katzen gave me a list of things I can do prior to surgery to help ease the recovery process. Basically, I set up a "recovery station" next to my recliner where everything is within arms reach. I also had meals prepared in my freezer and protein drinks at hand. I was lucky enough to have my daughter help me the first-week post op, so I didn't have to move around so much. Overall, it wasn't so bad. The results of my thigh lift are beyond amazing, I would do it all in a heartbeat again if I had to."
"Feeling Young and Vibrant Again After Mommy Makeover Procedure. - A little background about myself: I'm 45, mom of 3. Before becoming a mom, I worked out and took really good care of myself. After 3 kids and a demanding career, my body took a back seat and it showed. I started to feel like I was in the slumps all the time, my body image made me sad. I consulted with 4 plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills and the Los Angeles area. Dr. Katzen was the last of the 4 surgeons I saw and I left his office feeling relieved and knew I found the right surgeon to perform the mommy makeover on me. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I cannot believe how my body looks right now. I feel young, vibrant, and full of life. This procedure was exactly what I needed to boost myself."
"My abdomen, hips, outer thighs, buttocks, and arms look so good! - Dr. Katzen is by far the nicest doctor you will ever meet. He performed a body lift on me, then 7 weeks later, I returned for a brachioplasty. Dr. Katzen is a perfectionist. He takes his time to make sure everything is exactly how it should be. My abdomen, hips, outer thighs, buttocks, and arms look so good! Oh, besides, being the nicest surgeon ever, Dr. Katzen is also board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons. He has all the experience and certification you would want in a plastic surgeon."
"Results are beyond perfection and I am so happy with my new body - Dr. Katzen is the kindest and most caring surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He and his staff are friendly and always accomodating. I had liposuction of the abdomen with Dr. Katzen. I felt like Dr. Katzen fully prepared me for what to expect before, during, and after surgery. I did everything he asked me to do so things went exactly as planned. Results are beyond perfection and I am so happy with my new body."
"Restored Body After an Extended Tummy Tuck - The last two years I have dedicated myself to a healthier me. I learned to eat better and exercise. I lost a total of 84 pounds. Because I was overweight for so long and my age, my skin elasticity was not that great. After losing weight, I was still left with drooping saggy skin in my abdomen. I sought out Dr. Katzen for an extended tummy tuck. Dr. Katzen helped restored my body back to a normal shape."
"I had a body lift and thigh lift and everything went so well. - Doctor Katzen is that dream surgeon you are lucky to find. He has everything you would want your surgeon to be. His qualifications are excellent, he's so kind, bedside manner is top notch, great staff, and good pricing. I had a body lift and thigh lift with Dr. Katzen and everything went so well. Of course, with the long incision, there was some pain but Dr. Katzen did not make me feel bad when I needed pain meds. The results of my surgery was immediate so the gratification level was high for me. I love that my experience was so positive with Dr. Katzen and his office."
"After bariatric surgery, I had to do something to get rid of my arm skin - After undergoing bariatric surgery for weight loss, I had to do something to get rid of my arm skin. It was so bad that it drove me nuts. Besides not being able to fit into normal size clothes, I also had bad rashes. I had brachioplasty with a surgeon in Beverly Hills but without the high price tag. His name is Dr. Katzen. He's gentle, highly respectable, produces great results, and has the most amazing bedside manner. I live in the inland empire but it was most definitely worth the drive to have Dr. Katzen work on me."
"I had the body lift and it was totally worth every penny! - After dropping 100 pounds, my whole body drooped, no surprise. I had heard about Dr. Katzen before I lost the weight and knew about his work and personality long before I needed him. I followed him on Instagram and was intrigued by his surgical videos, it made me more confident about choosing him as my surgeon. I had the body lift and it was totally worth every penny!"
"Dr. Katzen is Beyond Wonderful! - I normally don't write reviews but I feel like my experience was so amazing that it deserves a review and can help someone. I lost over a hundred pounds with the help of bariatric surgery. My friends and family all complimented me on the weight loss and always told me how great I looked. Little did they know under my clothes were awful saggy and wrinkled skin. Not only did my skin look bad, but I also had constant rashes and pain that required cream to treat. I spent many months researching for a plastic surgeon who had experience with weight loss patients. There were many in California, but Dr. Katzen stood out above the rest. He had so many resources such as his youtube channels, instagram, facebook, etc.... My favorite part was when I reached out to some of his patients via their social media platforms, they were so welcoming and friendly. They were honest about their surgical experience and spoke highly of Dr. Katzen and his office. I had my body lift procedure with Dr. Katzen and I am so glad I chose him. He does the surgery himself and follows up on the patients himself. I felt full support from him every step of the way. Dr. Katzen is a wonderful surgeon and I trust him completely."
"It was definitely worth the drive - In pursuit of bigger lips, I had some silicone injected into my lips by someone in San Diego many years ago. Although I originally liked how full my lips were, it became a huge problem and was dangerous to my health. When I googled silicone lip removal, Dr. Katzen's name came up on my top search and I remember how familiar his name was. My coworker went to him for a tummy tuck and loved him. Even though I live two hours from Dr. Katzen's office, I did not hesitate to drive to him for the procedure to have my silicone removed from my lips. It was definitely worth the drive, I would do it again in a heartbeat."
"Tummy Tuck with a Great Surgeon and Office! - My tummy tuck procedure and experience were great. I had been following Dr. Katzen on Instagram and Tik Tok. I love how he shows the actual procedures from the OR and how his patients' testimonials are showcased. Those things made me more confident about my decision to choose Dr. Katzen for my tummy tuck. As soon as I called the office, I felt comfortable right away. Anna took the call, she's so kind and helpful. Then at my initial consultation, I met Dr. Katzen for the first time. He genuinely cares for me as a patient and took his time to go over everything with me. Gosh, I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Katzen and his office is. Go check him out if you are looking for a good plastic surgeon."
"Traveled from Utah to CA for medial thigh lift - well worth it! - After losing over a hundred pounds from the duodenal switch procedure, I was in need of a medial thigh lift. I live in Utah but traveled to California for this procedure with Dr. Katzen. Not many plastic surgeons have good experience with thigh lifts so I knew I made the right choice and traveled to the best surgeon I knew. The trip was well worth it because the thigh lift procedure was a success and the care I received was more amazing than I expected."
"I had a pooch in my stomach that was difficult to get rid of - After having 3 kids, I had a pooch in my stomach that was difficult to get rid of. I underwent liposuction of the abdomen with doctor Katzen. He's amazing and so is his entire team of professionals. They are a busy office but every time I come in, they treat me like I am the only patient. They never make me feel uncomfortable if I ask too many questions. My experience with doctor Katzen and the surgery was amazing."
"Body Lift After 129 Pounds Weight Loss - Dr. Katzen is a household name amongst the weight loss community. Dr. Katzen has performed thousands of procedures on weight loss patients and his results are incredible. I, of course, chose him as my reconstructive plastic surgeon to do a body lift after my 129 pounds weight loss. I look good and my self-esteem has never been better. I catch myself glancing by every mirror I walk by, something I would have never done before. This surgery really restored my life in so many ways."
"Had Breast Implants, Lift and Vertical Torsoplasty with Dr. Katzen - I can say I found myself the best plastic surgeon out there. I had silicone breast implants with lift and a vertical torsoplasty. Dr. Timothy Katzen was recommended to me by a close friend and I am so grateful for that. My friend and her sister had plastic surgery with Dr. Katzen last year so I trusted her recommendation wholeheartedly. My surgery was uneventful, which is always good. My recovery was fast and not as painful as I expected it to be. Dr. Katzen, his entire team of office staff, and surgical staff are so awesome. They made me feel warm and welcome with each encounter. Go check Dr. Katzen out, you'll be glad you did."
"Traveling a Few Hours to Have Thigh Lift with Dr. Katzen Was Worth It. - The thought of having thigh lift surgery has always terrified me. I put off having this surgery for the last two years. I figured I could live with my thighs the way it was but it was becoming harder to deal with. I live in the desert in California, so the summer months are extremely hot. I often break out with boils and they hurt so bad. Even though Dr. Katzen's office is a few hours from my house, he was worth the drive every single time. I chose Dr. Katzen mainly because of the many pictures I've seen of his thigh lifts. He's also board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery which made me feel even more comfortable with him. His bedside manner is EXCELLENT! I highly recommend him."
"Arm Lift, Beautiful Incisions - Arm Lift surgery felt like a necessity for me after I lost over 100 pounds. The excessive skin and fat I was left with in my arms after weight loss was extremely bothersome. I constantly had rashes and skin chaffing. Finding tops and dresses that can fit my arms was a task, usually ending in settling for a style I did not like or was not fashionable. I would never be caught dead in a short sleeve or tank top. Most of my tops were long sleeves or 3/4 sleeves. This last summer, I had an arm lift surgery with Dr. Katzen. He is by far the most genuine and sweet surgeon I have ever met. He gave me beautiful arms and my incision is placed where you wouldn't know I even had anything done. My incisions are nice and thin. Thanks Dr. Katzen and staff for the excellent care."
"I Feel Young and Attractive Again After Mommy Makeover - Dr. Katzen is not the typical plastic surgeon you would encounter. For being a prominent surgeon in the busiest part of Beverly Hills, he's humble and beyond kind. After years of contemplating, I made a decision to have a mommy makeover. I wanted a flat tummy and for my breasts to be bigger and back to where they belong. Dr. Katzen delivered excellent outcomes! I feel young and attractive all over again, and it's such a refreshing feeling."
"Plastic surgeries with Dr. Katzen after losing 155 Lbs with gastric sleeve - If you are looking for a surgeon that is an expert in body lift, look no further. Dr. Katzen has a long-standing reputation of being a top-notch surgeon for weight loss patients. I underwent the gastric sleeve and lost a total of 155 lbs. Like with most patients, I developed loose skin pretty much all over my body.The very first procedure I had with Dr. Katzen was a 360 body lift. He is a perfectionist in everything he does. After 7 weeks, I returned for my 2nd stage surgery, breast lift, and arm lift. I cannot tell you how happy I am with all my surgeries with Dr. Katzen."
"Dr. Katzen and his staff are beyond amazing! - I am really glad to see more information about raw silicone removal. I had silicone injection done about 9 years ago in my butt and regretted it ever since. It caused me more problems than I could have imagined. Through the years, my problems got worse and worse. I discovered one of Dr. Katzen's patients on social media talking about silicone injection removal. I called his office and got a ton of great information. The day of my initial consultation, I booked my surgery right away. I couldn't wait to get rid of this silicone from my buttocks. Dr. Katzen and his amazing staff have made my entire experience very pleasant. They run a first-class operation."
"SILICONE INJECTION REMOVALMy husband and I, reached out to Dr. Katzen for a second opinion after having silicone injection removal surgery with a different doctor in Los Angeles. Which ended up being the worse decision we ever made. I ended up with a horribly large dent on my right side of my buttock along with the surgery sites completely opened up leaving me with three very large painful wounds that were never going to close up without another surgery. I was out of pocket $17,000 later for a complete failed botched job! I’m telling you this so that you really do your research before you go under the knife and lose your money and nothing gets repaired. Along with needing a second surgery like myself!Choosing Dr. Katzen, was the best decision I, have ever made! I, had my surgery with him about three weeks ago and still on the mend but I’m extremely happy with him and his staff. First of all, he is so easy to talk too and he genuinely cares about his patients. And his after care is 5 stars! He really knows exactly what he’s doing in this area of silicone injection removal. He reconstructed my butt along with removing all that poison in one surgery. I, honestly could not be happier with the end results! My butt is no longer black & blue and my skin looks great. And I can’t tell you enough how much I love the way my butt turned out as well. And most importantly, physically and mentally I really feel so much better now. If your looking for a surgeon that delivers amazing results look no further and call Dr.Katzen, I highly recommend him!"
"Silicone Removal to get rid of hydrogel shots - I had butt shots done 15 years ago and went 3 times and one fill in. I didn't have any real issues. My guy told me massage my butt so it would soften up and if i felt hard spot just keep massaging, so when I got knots I didn't think anything of it. I just massaged and they soften up. As time went on my butt got bigger and I thought the shots was a fat attracter since all my weight went to my butt and stomach. As some years go on I notice dents on the bottom of my butt, but it was nothing major. I paid it no mind, I also notice certain areas of my butt if hit hurt really bad so ass slapping was a no go. Sitting for long periods of time made me have to reposition mysef, still all of this I said no big deal. Fast forward Covid happens and I start noticing while I'm home larger dents and deformation on the lower part of my butt. While I'm home I'm scrolling on ig and I see the lady that thought my guy how to do the shots telling girls to get it removed. I immediately go to the comments and I see someone say I have hydrogel so I should be good (me thinking I have the same thing). The lady then replies baby its all the same. Red Flag went up that he used what she used. Month go by my right leg and arm would feel numb, I learned my WBC are low and doctors didn't know why since i am healthy. I started doing major research on here, spoke with a girl that just had surgery with Dr. Katzen and after speaking with her and keeping up with her recovery I was SOLD and I'm glad I went and got 90-95% out of me. I'm working on a lil documentary on this to show beginning to end surgery and all. Its so many women out here that don't know what to do, where to go, or who to talk to. I'm here for those of you that have questions. I see ppl being very concerned about the scar. At this point it's about your health and being alive. I just didn't want to be botched. Like I said I'm pleased and I'm only 3 weeks post op so I know I have a journey ahead and I may need a bbl, but will be later down the line."
"Body Overhaul After Weight Loss Surgery - To say Dr. Katzen is amazing is an understatement. When I had bariatric surgery, I connected with many other weight loss patients through different groups on social media. I followed many of their journeys of weight loss and plastic surgery after weight loss. One surgeon's name got mentioned quite often with positive testimonials....it was Dr. Timothy Katzen. His patients usually return for multiple surgeries with him and that says a ton about his work and values. I too had multiple surgeries with Dr. Katzen after losing over 100 pounds. The first stage of surgery was the circumferential body lift. I then returned for an arm lift, breast augmentation with lift, and torsoplasty. I am delighted with my choice to have surgery with Dr. Katzen. Everything felt right from the very beginning to the end. He's really the best."
"Dr. Katzen is a gem - all I can say is wow! - Dr. Katzen and his entire team are absolutely incredible!! From start to finish, they made me feel completely comfortable with the procedures. Dr. Katzen was so personable and was easily reachable even after work hours. Now for the results...all I can say is WOW! I got chin lipo and vaser arm lipo. I am soooo happy with the results. I've wanted it for awhile but was hesitant to go under the knife. I'm glad I did it and couldn't imagine anyone other than Dr. Katzen performing the surgery."
"Arm Lift Has Given Me my "Normal" Life Again. - Having an arm lift has changed my daily life so drastically. Background story: I used to weigh 280 pounds, lost over 100 pounds. After weight loss, I was left with "bat wings" that hung quite low. My arms got in the way at my job, like, it got caught in the cabinets, etc. At home, I have gotten burned on the stove and many other inconveniences. I would constantly get rashes on my arms and they would hurt. I couldn't fit normal tops because of my arms. Now, after arm lift, I can function normally and buy clothes off the rack. It feels so good to be able to do normal things in life."
"I am very happy with my lipo - When looking for a plastic surgeon, I immediately turned to Real Self for answers. I read through many reviews and looked at many pictures. I found Real Self to be very resourceful. I narrowed my options to 2 surgeons and ultimately chose Dr. Katzen to perform liposuction on me. I am very happy with my lipo and my overall experience was exceptional. I highly recommend you do your research before any kind of procedure, I am really glad I did."
"I am very pleased with how flat my tummy is - What's there not to love about Dr. Katzen? He's the ideal surgeon to get me through my journey. I lost 82 pounds through many years of diet and exercise. No matter how hard I tried, I could not get rid of the stubborn skin and some fat in my abdomen. I came into his office thinking I needed a full-body lift but Dr. Katzen said all I needed was an extended tummy tuck. I love that he didn't try to "oversell" a procedure I didn't need. He was right, with the extended tummy tuck, I was very pleased with the shape of my body and how flat my tummy is. Dr. Katzen is one of a kind and I feel lucky to have him as my plastic surgeon."
"Bariatric Surgery, then Body Lift, then Arm Lift - I was an obese person most of my life until I had the gastric sleeve and lost 130 lbs. I asked my bariatric surgeon if he can refer me to a plastic reconstruction surgeon and without hesitation, he gives me doctor Timothy Katzen's name. Many patients of my bariatric surgeon went to Dr. Katzen with great results. I ended up having a body lift and later returned for an arm lift. After I healed from my surgeries, I paid a visit to my bariatric surgeon and he was very happy for me and my results. I owe both my bariatric surgeon and Dr. Katzen so much for changing my life forever."
"Liposuction of abdomen to get rid of some stubborn fat - After having 3 gorgeous children, it was finally time to get some liposuction in my tummy. The procedure was quick, I did have some pain as expected, but Dr. Katzen was great at managing it though. Liposuction was able to get rid of some stubborn fat that I was not able to work off on my own. I'm glad I went to Dr. Katzen for this procedure. He's pretty amazing!"
"Dr. Katzen is Amazing and a True Blessing! - I had VSG and was so happy when I lost 128 pounds. I was mentally prepared for the excess flabby skin when I lost weight. I had been looking up plastic surgeons who specialize in patients like me who have gone through weight loss surgery. I discovered Dr. Katzen through many social media outlets and checked out his website. He was the perfect surgeon for what I needed. I ended up having several stages of surgeries which included a 360 circumferential body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, breast augmentation, and torsoplasty. Finding Dr. Katzen was a total blessing. He's an amazing surgeon and human being."
"Dr. Katzen Was Always my Choice - When I had weight loss surgery, I was well prepared for excess skin as one of the problems I would face. I researched plastic surgeons as I was going through my weight loss and WITHOUT a doubt, Dr. Timothy Katzen was going to be my choice. He shares so much of himself and his work on many platforms. I was glued to his youtube channel. I found it fascinating watching his surgical footage. I felt confident putting my life in his hands. Dr. Katzen performed a circumferential body lift on me and I am extremely pleased. He removed a total of 18 pounds of excess skin, fat, and tissue. Thank you Dr. Katzen for transforming my body and mind."
"5 Star Treatment from Dr. Katzen and His Staff - I had an abdominoplasty with Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills after seeing great reviews about him. The process was pretty much what I expected with beautiful results. I would highly recommend 5 out of 5 stars for Dr. Katzen and his entire staff. Everyone is so wonderful and friendly."
"2 Stage Surgeries with Dr. Katzen After Weight Loss Journey - I got sleeved and lost 139 pounds. I felt good and healthy but I couldn't stand the sight of my wrinkled-up skin. I had so much skin on my abdomen, arms, thighs, breasts, and butt. I'm 44 years old, but my skin was so wrinkly, it looks like a 90-year-old's skin. I started the process of reconstructive plastic surgery with Dr. Katzen earlier this year, and now I feel complete.The first surgery I had done with Dr. Katzen was the circumferential body lift and thigh lift. The second surgery was breast augmentation with lift and arm lift.Dr. Katzen is truly gifted and his expertise shows. He's done hundreds, maybe even thousands of reconstructive procedures on weight loss patients so he is really good at it. I love that he shares so many of the before and after pictures on his website. I am happy to have Dr. Katzen complete my weight loss journey and make me feel complete and whole again."
"Great Changes Happening After Tummy Tuck and Breast Lift - I have 4 kids and 2 grandkids. I'm not a youngster anymore but I've been a widow for a very very long time. I felt it was time to do a little nip tuck to boost my body. I went to Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills and got a tummy tuck and breast lift. I had imagined after the procedures, it would make me more confident. Not only did that happen, but all of a sudden I have some major life changes coming up....all good things. So excited to see where all this takes me. It's so much more than I had hoped for."
"Lower Body Lift and Breast Lift After Weight Loss - When researching doctors I wanted a doctor who was experienced with lower body lift and weight loss patients. Dr. Katzen is highly specialized with this procedure and population. I also had a breast lift and augmentation. Plastic surgery is hard. Be prepared. Dr. Katzen is super safe and at first you may ask why do I have to do this or that? Do it. There’s a rationale for it all. He’s goal is the safest recovery for you and you will have a better experience if you follow his orders. My post op visits left me feeling good. He has such a great bedside manner. You don’t feel rushed and he makes you feel at ease. He’s such a humble man too. He put my shoes on and he talked to me and my husband about Netflix series. His office staff is responsive and kind. I’m still healing but I think I’m feeling as good as can be for these procedures."

My breasts still hurt so I’m hoping that goes away. One nipple is higher than the other and I don’t think it’s a matter of one breast dropping. It almost looks like my nipple was put back on upside down. So I dont think my nipples were done correctly. I’ll post an update if they correct themselves. My lower body lift is my favorite thing, however I did get two wounds and I’m seeing a wound care doctor in my city. Getting wounds such and I still have stitches in that have to be cut as they push their way out of my body. I’m not sure why my photos won’t upload."
"Birthday Present for Myself Was a Tummy Tuck and Thigh Lift. - Never in my wildest dream could I have imagined the body I have now. I just turned 40 years old last September. As a birthday gift to myself, I underwent a tummy tuck and thigh lift with the well-known surgeon, J Timothy Katzen, MD. I've known of Dr. Katzen and his reputation through many resources prior to meeting him. What I enjoyed is seeing his fun personality on videos on his Instagram, website, etc. Of course, his work is without a doubt, amazing. This was by far, the best birthday present I have ever received."
"Best Tummy Tuck Experience with Dr. Timothy Katzen. - I needed a referral for an abdominoplasty. A close friend of mine recommended Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills, CA. The minute I heard Beverly Hills, I kinda backed off. The first thought was price is going to be high, the second thought is the surgeon will probably be snobby. My friend convinced me to just check Dr. Katzen out and if I didn't like him, I had nothing to lose. He currently only offers free consultations for Real Self users, so I took advantage of it. Boy, was I wrong. Dr. Katzen has the best personality and bedside manner. His prices were very reasonable and less than I expected. His work speaks for itself. You can find many of his patient's pictures on his social media and website."
"Dr. Katzen is an Expert in Reconstructing Post Weight Loss Patients - Do you ever look at yourself and feel sad because of all the abuse you put your body through? Three years ago, I had weight loss surgery and shed over 120 lbs. In certain clothes, I looked good. No one knew what was hiding underneath but me. I felt "abnormal" and my self-esteem was not good. One of the ladies in my weight loss group chat shared her journey and recently had a body lift with Dr. Katzen. She was so open to sharing her pictures and experiences. I private messaged her and asked her a ton of questions, so was very generous in giving her time to me. She gave me the boost I needed to move forward with my own body lift surgery. I had my body lift with Dr. J Timothy Katzen. He's so amazing in all he does, from his gentle kind persona to his absolutely fabulous skills as a surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Katzen to anyone who is looking to have surgery after weight loss surgery. He's an expert in that field."
"So Glad I Found Dr. Katzen to Remove my Silicone Butt Injection - After a bad experience with another doctor, I was lucky to find Dr. Katzen to remove silicone from my buttocks. I was experiencing redness, pain, chronic inflammation, lumpy scar tissues from my old silicone injection. Dr. Katzen was able to remove my old silicone from my buttocks and gave me a butt lift. I feel so much better and look so much better now. Dr. Katzen is a blessing!"
"360 body lift has changed mylife - After a mini-gastric bypass and losing 120 lbs back in 2008, I was left wi a lot of lose skin around my belly. It made my clothes fit funny and I always tries to hide the lose belly skin. After a lot of research I found Dr. Katzen and connected with him in October of 2020. My surgery was scheduled for Jan of 2021. Two weeks in recover with controlled pain and a lot of Netflix and drugs I flew home to seattle. I came home with three drains still in but went back to work the net day. Removed the stitches and the final drains by the 8 week mark. I am so pleased with the results working out and feeling great in my new body. Wearing pants that are down from a 38 waist to a 34. I am so pleased with where I am at 4 months. Still get a little swollen in the evenings but I talk I feel great. Still numb all round the incision it's."
"Super Happy with Tummy Tuck Results! - As a child, I was known and teased as a "fat kid". I grew up being overweight most of my teen and early adult years. I enrolled myself in a gym to help me lose weight. My body adjusted pretty well for the most part, except the abdomen area. I couldn't quite get a flat stomach and my skin was wrinkly in my abdomen area. I came to Dr. Timothy Katzen in Beverly Hills for a tummy tuck. It was a quick outpatient surgery and I went home the same day. Sometimes it's ok to get a little extra help from a plastic surgeon to get your body where you want. I am super happy with my results!"
"Silicone injection removal from Buttock - Dr. Katzen and his team were amazing from the start. Unfortunately I had silicone injections about 8 years ago and overtime I started to have lumps in my butt that became hard like a marble. I also had pain in my butt that ran down my legs. After doing extensive research I came upon Dr. Katzen on RealSelf and then I started to follow him on Instagram. I admired his work and it took me about two years to get this procedure done because of finances and to get time off of work. I was in California for two weeks and I had my procedure done 5/6/21. Dr. Katzen went over everything he told me what to expect. He is very down to earth and honest. I had two JP drains a urinary Foley catheter. My mother was my caretaker (which I am utterly grateful for). I currently still have one JP drain because it still draining but I'm hoping that I'll be able to get it out by this Friday. However the drain is very easy to keep discreet. Kiara, his medical assistant was amazing by the way. She is helpful with the pre-operative and post operative procedure and helps with guidance. I had two follow up appointments before leaving California. Now I'm back home recovering trying to get used to my "new butt", It's definitely not easy & it's a process. However, I am very thankful for Dr. Katzen, his team and my support system. I am now looking forward & happy that I can move on with my life."

"Weight Loss Journey to Reconstructive Plastic Surgery with Dr. Katzen - My journey started in 2018 when I had bariatric surgery for weight loss. I lost a total of 165 pounds. With that, came excessive loose skin in many parts of my body. I joined a few weight loss groups on social media and quickly learned about Dr. Katzen and his work. Many of his patients had nothing but great things to say about their surgery and how nice Dr. Katzen is. Testimonials from his patients made me excited for my own surgeries that I was about to do. I ended up having a circumferential body lift and a thigh lift, and I couldn't tell you enough how happy I am. My life has changed so much already and I cannot wait to see what my future holds."

"Body Lift with Exceptional Results! - There is no plastic surgeon I would trust more than Dr. Katzen. I had the best experience with my circumferential body lift. Dr. Katzen did an absolutely amazing job with my surgery. I've seen his work on his website and, no surprise, he delivered exceptional results. I still have more surgeries scheduled with him in the next few months......thigh lift and arm lift. I know I'm in good hands with Dr. Katzen."

"Medial Thigh Lift by a Surgeon That is Experienced with Weight Loss Patients. - I have consulted with 4 different reconstructed plastic surgeons for a medial thigh lift procedure. Without a doubt, Dr. Katzen was my top choice. Not only was he the most experienced with weight loss patients, but he also is the kindest, most understanding human being ever.

"Silicone Removal from Buttocks. Love my Surgeon. - I made a regretful decision many years when I had silicone injected into my buttocks. My decision back then was price-driven and not something I'm proud to admit. I wanted more volume in my buttocks and found someone that was going to do it for cheap. I ended up experiencing multiple problems. I searched on youtube to see if anyone else experienced similar things. I was elated when I found Dr. Katzen's videos about silicone removal. I scheduled an appointment with him and the rest was history. He performed silicone removal from my buttocks and I feel so good. Dr. Katzen is awesome. He has a kind and gentle personality, and easy to talk to. I plan to return to him this summer for a tummy tuck procedure. I wouldn't choose anyone else. He's great!"
"Dr. Katzen is the Best! - I had the vertical tummy tuck and it turned out amazing. Dr. Katzen is the only surgeon I could find offering this procedure and I highly recommend it. Most of my extra skin was on my back so the typical procedure would have been the bra line back lift, which I was not interested in. Instead, Dr. Katzen was able to take the extra skin from my back and the little bit from my front with an..."
"Dr. Katzen is the Best! - I had the vertical tummy tuck and it turned out amazing. Dr. Katzen is the only surgeon I could find offering this procedure and I highly recommend it. Most of my extra skin was on my back so the typical procedure would have been the bra line back lift, which I was not interested in. Instead, Dr. Katzen was able to take the extra skin from my back and the little bit from my front with an incision from my arm pit to my hip bone on each side of my body. This appealed to me because it corrected both areas (front and back) and put the scars on the sides of my body, which are much less noticeable, in my opinion.I do recommend going back to see Dr. Katzen to have the stitches removed. I wasn't planning to because I live 1500 miles away, but I ended up having to and I'm very glad I did, so just plan on it.I definitely recommend Dr. Katzen for any procedure he provides!"
"Incredible Results from Abdominoplasty. - I took advantage of time working from home during this pandemic to have a tummy tuck. Almost everything prior to my surgery was handled over the telephone. I did take a couple of days off right after surgery, but I felt well enough to work shortly after. After my tummy tuck, my abdomen was a little swollen as expected. Now, my abdomen is flat and smooth. It looks incredible!"
"Dr. Katzen Was my Clear Choice for Thigh Lift Procedure. - Many surgeons offer thigh lift procedures, but I found not many of them are good at it. I scheduled 3 consultations with different plastic surgeons. I always asked if I can see some results of their work. Two of the surgeons only produced less than 10 patients that they operated a thigh lift on. Dr. Katzen was the only one who showed me hundreds of thigh lift pictures. My choice was clear. I chose Dr. Katzen and I do not regret it a single bit. My advice is to check out multiple surgeons before you decide to book your surgery. I'm so glad I did. "
"I Am a Nurse and Met Dr. Katzen at the Hospital I Work At. He's Amazing! - I am an RN so I pay close attention to the credentials and reputations of doctors. I knew Dr. Katzen because he has privileges at the hospital I work at. Everyone loves him and praises how great it is to work with him. I got to know Dr. Katzen through the years and am so impressed with his work. I underwent an abdominoplasty with him and I couldn't be happier. The incision line is so clean and precise. I healed extremely well and my scar looks minimal and nice. He said eventually it will fade and I will hardly notice them. So glad I met Dr. Katzen."
"Dr. Katzen and His Practice is Top Notch! - My tummy tuck experience with Dr. Katzen and his practice was flawless and wonderful. This office clearly deals with large volumes of patients and has a well-organized staff. From the first call to my last post-op visit, everything went smooth. I was handed paperwork, instructions, prescription scripts, pretty much everything I needed along the way. I didn't have to ask for anything. The office staff is all friendly and professional. The way Dr. Katzen's incisions placement is so nice. Ahhh, everything was perfect."
"I feel sexy, beautiful, and youthful again - After having 3 kids, it was my time to regain my self-image. I underwent a mommy makeover, which included a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with a lift. I feel sexy, beautiful, and youthful again. People always say once you become a mom, you don't need to worry about your looks, but for me, it's not true. I always want to look and feel my best."
"Three Successful Surgeries with Dr. Katzen. - I have had three surgeries with Dr. Katzen in 2020. A little background about myself is I had bariatric surgery and successfully lost 128 pounds. Dr. Katzen performed a body lift, thigh lift, and arm lift on me. I am so grateful for his knowledge, skills, and kind-heartedness. I came to him with a "messed up" body from years of abuse. He truly transformed me physically and mentally. There are just not enough words to tell you how absolutely amazing Dr. Katzen is."
"Arm Lift/ Brachioplasty: Very Happy! - Finding a skilled surgeon for an arm lift was on top of my list. When I found Dr. J Timothy Katzen's website, I was impressed he had over 100 patients who had an arm lift. I love the placement of the scars, they hide well. Dr. Katzen mentioned, for the most part, the arm incisions heal quite well. I'm pleased with my arm surgery and not only did I get a skilled surgeon, but he also has an amazing personality and his staff is very friendly."
"Dr. Timothy Katzen is a solid 5 star! - I feel like I've hit the jackpot when it comes to finding the most amazing surgeon ever! I was in need (not want) of a medial thigh lift. I had gastric sleeve and lost 158 pounds. Although I lost weight, the excess skin between my thighs was unbearable. My thighs were rubbing together which caused painful rashes. As much as I used creams and powder, the rashes persisted. It was hard finding an experienced plastic surgeon who performed thigh lifts. Yes, there were other surgeons who I consulted with, but when I asked for before and after pictures, they only had a few to show me. Dr. Katzen had hundreds of pictures he provided, many on his website as well. No surprise, my thigh lift turned out excellent. Oh, he also offers free virtual consultations during this pandemic."
"My Body Lift is Pure Perfection. - I am so blessed that I found an amazing surgeon who understands weight loss patients. I had bariatric surgery 3 years ago and lost 141 pounds. I found Dr. Katzen who performed a body lift on me. He understood my body, skin, nutrition, everything. I didn't need to explain the process of my weight loss journey. He understood in detail and was extremely knowledgeable. My body lift is pure perfection."
"6 pack abdomen procedure, very pleased - Having VASER High Definition Liposuction in my abdomen is a dream come true. I never imagined having this surgery, but when my buddy had his done through Dr. Katzen, I was blown away with how good his abdomen looks. I had the same procedure and I'm just as happy with the outcome as he is."
"Body Lift: I Feel Like a Million Bucks. - I am a weight loss patient who had the lap band. I lost 110 pounds and feeling healthy. The only downfall with the lap band surgery for me was the excess skin after I lost the weight. Thankfully, there's Dr. Katzen to the rescue. He performed a body lift on me. With the body lift, I got the tummy tuck, hip lift, butt lift, lateral thigh lift, and mons lift. I feel like a million bucks. My surgery turned out so much better than I imagined it would be."
"Amazing Medial Thigh Lift - If you are looking for an honest, down to earth, great doctor, look no more. I found Dr. Katzen while searching for a medial thigh lift. My first impression of him on his Instagram was great. He had a great presence about him and very informative. I enjoyed watching him doing surgeries and looking at his before and after pictures. Another thing that I love about this doctor is his staff. They are so friendly and helpful all the time. I never feel awkward when I need to call for anything. Needless to say, I love Dr. Katzen so much. My thighs look amazing!"
"Arm Lift with a Highly Educated and Well Trained Surgeon. - Dr. Katzen is literally the best surgeon I have ever encountered. He's smart, has the kindest heart, technically skilled, well trained, what more can one ask for. I had an arm lift with Dr. Katzen 6 months ago. My incision is placed in the inner part of my arms so it's hidden well. No one really sees it unless I raise my arm. Based on pictures I've seen in his office, that arm incision heals very well. For some of his patients, you don't even see the scar anymore after they've completely healed. Solid 5 out 5."
"Dr. Katzen is very talented with a cheery personality. - I do some magazine modeling and it was important for me to have nice looking abs. I came across Dr. Katzen's youtube channel and was amazed by his skill and talent. I viewed his video about abdomen vaser hi-definition liposuction. Wow, I was blown away by how it completely transformed people's abs. I was convinced this is a great investment for me, so I went ahead and booked my procedure. As expected, Dr. Katzen did not disappoint. He delivered excellent results with a happy cheery attitude, which made my entire experience great."
"Dr. Katzen is a True Artist at Sculpting Bodies. - I had the Vaser High Definition Liposuction procedure on my abdomen by Dr. Timothy Katzen. When I tell you this man knows how to sculpt your body, I mean he REALLY knows how. Just check out his website for yourself. I wanted to have a 6 pack, well defined, highly sculpted abs, and that's exactly what I got. Dr. Katzen is a true artist when it comes to sculpting bodies."
"Beautiful Thigh Lift - I feel like I hit the jackpot when I found Dr. Katzen. His work is really good, prices are fair, his personality is beyond what you would expect from a surgeon. I always enjoy seeing Dr. Katzen during my visits. Dr. Katzen did a medial thigh lift on me and it turned out very good. He took some pictures of me the other day, so I look forward to seeing them on his website. I give Dr. Katzen a full 5 stars. He more than deserves them. Thank you Dr. Katzen for my beautiful thigh lift."
"Found my Surgeon After Researching on Real Self. - You all. Let me tell you how amazing Dr. Katzen is. I needed an arm lift and didn't know where to start. Real Self's website was at the top of my search. I was so impressed with so much information presented on this website. I spent many days reading reviews, watching videos, looking at before and after pictures, and looking at how the surgeons answer questions. Dr. Katzen came across as the most genuine and highly experienced surgeon. I did pick a second runner up surgeon, but after my initial consultation with Dr. Katzen, I did not feel the need to consult any further. My arm lift procedure turned out how I envisioned it would be. I was not surprised by how well my arms look. My advice is to spend the time to research your plastic surgeon carefully. I'm really glad I found Dr. Katzen."
"Recommend Dr. Katzen 100%! - Sometimes you bump into people and it was no accident. I was at a game before Covid happened. I sat next to this really sweet lady and we started doing small talk. Somehow the topic of weight loss came up and we both discovered we had lots in common. We both had WLS. I lost 122 pounds and she lost 146 pounds. During our chat, I asked if she had loose skin like me and what she did about it. She proceeded to tell me that she went to Dr. Timothy Katzen and had it taken cared of. She was so cute because she just couldn’t wait to tell me how wonderful he was and how wonderful her surgery turned out.I had a body lift with Dr. Katzen and my life has not been the same....in a very good way. Dr. Katzen exudes confidence in his work and it clearly shows. He's kind, gentle and very understanding. Would I recommend Dr. Katzen? Of course, 100%!"
"500cc Oval Butt Implants + Tummy and Love Handle Lipo - I'll start by saying I am still in the midst of week 2 recovery, so I'll try to update this review as much as possible as I go along but I'm very low on energy and will right now. This recovery has been no joke and when I'm through with everything, I don't think I'll ever lay on my tummy ever again lolPrior to my surgery, I spent a lot of time choosing between Dr. Katzen and Dr. Ryan Stanton...."
