Reviews for Tummy Tuck Procedures Near Beverly Hills, CA
"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."

"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!!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"Felt right immediately & did an amazing tummy tuck job - When I was doing my research for a plastic surgeon, there were a few things that were top of my list as priorities. #1 He or she needed to be board certified by the ASPS. #2 They needed to have many years of experience with Tummy Tuck surgeries (the procedure I was researching for). #3 I needed to feel comfortable with the surgeon and their staff (reason the staff part is important is because you do need to deal with them quite a bit pre and post op). Dr. Timothy Katzen met all the criteria I was looking for and then some. I couldn't be more pleased to have met him and it felt right immediately. Dr. Katzen did an amazing job on my tummy tuck and he took very good care of me."
"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!"
"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!"
"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."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Beautiful Tummy Tuck Results - Tummy tuck surgery is common and I felt comfortable going in for surgery. The thing that some people don't realize is, pretty much any surgeon can perform tummy tuck surgery. When I was considering this surgery, I saw many ads advertising cheap tummy tuck procedures. I did research on some of these places and quite frankly got concerned. When I found Dr. Katzen and did a consultation with him, I felt relieved. Sure, his prices weren't the cheapest but it was fair and reasonable. What sold me on Dr. Katzen: 1. He's board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. 2. He's done thousands of plastic surgery procedures with over 20 years of experience. 3. Dr. Katzen is genuine, honest, kind, and caring. There are so many other positive things I can say about Dr. Katzen, but I am so glad I chose him for my tummy tuck procedure. He did a beautiful job and I am very satisfied with the results."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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!"
"I Feel Alive and Sexy Again After Mommy Makeover. - Last year my husband and I decided we were finally done having kids, our family is whole and perfect. I've always planned to "re-build" my body when the time was right. After much research, I found this wonderful surgeon to do my surgery. His name is Dr. Timothy Katzen, located in Beverly Hills, CA. Dr. Katzen performed a mommy makeover (Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants and Tummy Tuck) on me. I feel so alive and sexy again."
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"I had a tummy tuck, liposuction of the flanks, breast implant exchange and lift. Dr Katzen and his staff took care of me from the beginning and ongoing journey. Dr Katzen has been an amazing surgeon and his staff is excellent as well. I appreciate Anna for always being prompt with my paperwork. Thanks again Dr. Katzen! K.R."
"I couldn't have ask for a better experience, it was just perfect! - What a friendly and knowledgeable office Dr. Katzen has!! All the girls that work for him are so friendly and always helpful. They never made me feel like I am bothering them. The best part of my tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen is him. Dr. Katzen is the most down-to-earth surgeon I have ever encountered. He has over 20 years of experience, specifically with weight loss patients and his work shows it. My tummy tuck is perfect, I couldn't ask for a better experience!"
"I had a tummy tuck, liposuction of the flanks, breast implant exchange and lift. Dr Katzen and his staff took care of me from the beginning and ongoing journey. Dr Katzen has been an amazing surgeon and his staff is excellent as well. I appreciate Anna for always being prompt with my paperwork. Thanks again Dr. Katzen! K.R."
"Tummy Tuck Increased Self Confidence for Me - I am 26 years old and I used to weigh 298 pounds before having gastric bypass surgery. I lost 144 pounds. Luckily for me, I did not have a lot of excess and saggy skin all over, probably due to my age and how elastic my skin was. I did have it bad in my abdomen area though. I decided to have a tummy tuck to remove the skin and fat. I cannot tell you how this has changed my life so much. Tummy tuck surgery helped me gain self-confidence. I feel much better about myself and my image."
"Chance Meeting Lead to a Beautiful Tummy Tuck - Sometimes, life just falls into place when you least expect it. Last year, I was at Disneyland enjoying the day with my family. While we were in line for Peter Pan, I met this lovely lady and ended up chatting with her for a good 45 minutes (that's how long the line was). We chatted about everything and at one point I complimented her outfit. She proceeded to tell me how she was obese, lost weight and had a body lift. She told me about this wonderful plastic surgeon, Dr. Katzen. She said, don't worry, he's in Beverly Hills but his prices are very reasonable and he's down to earth. He also does great work. I've been thinking about a tummy tuck for a while, but just kind of kept it in the back of my mind. The next day, I said let me just look up this surgeon to check him out. I loved what I saw and booked a consultation and my tummy tuck. I am so happy I bumped into that lady and ended up with a flat and beautiful abdomen."

"I've been wanting a tummy tuck, breast augmentation, and breast lift since the birth of my last child. During this covid pandemic, like most people, I've been working from home. I figured this was the best time for my procedures since I don't have to commute to my office and I can safely recover at home. Plus, my husband also works from home and he can help around the house while I recover. Dr. Katzen and his staff get tested for covid regularly and they take precautions to keep patients as safe as possible. I had my mommy makeover and felt pretty good afterward. Surprisingly, I only took a week off of work and was able to get back to working from home. My husband was very supportive and took care of the kids and meal preps. I had a great recovery and best of all, I love the results of my surgeries!"

"After having wls, I seeked Dr. Timothy Katzen for a 360 body lift. When I consulted with him, he said I didn't have too much saggy skin on my hips and back side. He recommended an extended tummy tuck instead. I love that he didn't try to over sell a bigger and unnecessary surgery. From that day, he gained my trust and respect. I admire his work and ethics very much."
"I had a tummy tuck and silicone breast implants with Dr. Katzen. Wow is the first word that describes how amazing the results and my overall experience was. Honestly, I did not expect anything less. Dr. Katzen previously performed surgery on my aunt and friend so I already knew what to expect from his work. Don't let his Beverly Hills location scare you as far as price goes. His pricing is very fair and worth it."
"The mirror used to be my worst enemy. After giving birth to two amazing kids, my tummy area looked defeated. I booked my tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Katzen and I am amazed. Now, the mirror is my best friend. I love what I see everyday!"
"Undergoing an elective surgery made me nervous but the feeling of excitement outweighed my nervousness. I had a tummy tuck with beautiful results. Dr. Katzen tightened my abdomen real good. I haven't owned a two piece bikini since high school. I just bought two!"
"After weight loss, I thought I would need a body lift, but Dr. Katzen said all I needed was an extended tummy tuck. The extended tummy tuck incision does not go all the way in the back like a body lift incision would have been, which meant my recovery time and the pain was less. It also meant, less cost because OR time wasn't as long. I bring this up to show how caring Dr. Katzen is. He puts his patients' needs first and does whatever he thinks is right, he's not all about the money. I appreciate Dr. Katzen so much for his compassion and skills."
"My tummy tuck was done by 5 months ago and I am pleased to say everything went great. From the first moment I met Dr. Katzen, I remember how refreshing it was to meet a surgeon so experienced and NICE! He's a perfectionist and I appreciate that very much."
"I am a 47-year-old male who underwent gastric bypass surgery. I lost approximately 140 pounds. Like many patients, I experienced sagging excess skin in my abdomen along with other areas. My arms and thighs surprisingly was not horribly bad, I could live with it. The two areas that bothered me the most was my abdomen and chest area. I found Dr. Katzen and knew immediately, I can trust my life with him. I underwent an extended tummy tuck and gynecomastia surgery, both with excellent results."
"Doctor Katzen is known nationwide. I had the pleasure of meeting him in the Vegas location. He gave me the most beautiful tummy tuck ever. I highly recommend Dr. Katzen if you are considering plastic surgery."
"The biggest shock came after I spent an entire year in the gym, changing my eating and lifestyle, only to face the disappointment of abdomen saggy skin. I lost an impressive amount of weight but my skin never bounced back. Partly it's due to being big most of my life and my age. Regardless, it was still discouraging and a bit depressing. I found Dr. Katzen on the web and knew I would have surgery with him. His credentials and work are top-notch. I had a tummy tuck and I just love my new abdomen so much!"
"If I had to describe my tummy tuck results in one word, it would be perfection. I lost 65 pounds earlier last year through diet and exercise but nothing I did help with the loose skin in my abdomen area. I went to Dr. Katzen for a tummy tuck with excellent results. He even tightened my muscles and gave me an hourglass figure. My abdomen looks so tight and skinny. Even though I did a lot of work on my own to get to a healthy place in my life, Dr. Katzen helped make me look GOOD!"
"I knew from the start Dr. Katzen was my choice surgeon. The first call I made, his staff was so very sweet and warm. I thought if this is how his staff treats his patients, I couldn't wait to meet the surgeon himself. Well, Dr. Katzen is even more sweet and warm than his staff, can you imagine? He has a way to connect with his patients in such a great way. I didn't leave the office that day without scheduling my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Everything went according to plan and my results are so so good!"
"I love working with Dr. Katzen and his office. They accept Care Credit which helped me out financially. Dr. Katzen and his staff always make me feel warm and welcomed. I had my tummy tuck and couldn't be happier with the outcome!"

I exercised but the excess skin was not going anywhere. I found Dr. Katzen who did my medial thigh lift. He is a wonderful surgeon with great bedside manner. My thighs look excellent!"
"My sister helped me find Dr. Katzen to do my tummy tuck. We extensively researched him to be sure everything checked out. We were pleased to know he is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The best part was when my sister came with me for my consultation.

"Breast Augmentation and Tummy Tuck with Excellent Results - This may sound a bit shallow but I have a group of female friends who are all beautiful. I felt insecure around them and the least attractive. Every time we would go out, they always got the most attention and it did take a toll on my self-esteem. They dressed better than I did.I decided to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with a lift. These surgeries really lifted my self-confidence. I dress cute like my friends and get just as much attention as they do now, if not, sometimes more. I'm really glad I made the decision to have cosmetic surgery."
"I like what I see in the mirror now - The mirror used to be my worst enemy. After giving birth to two amazing kids, my tummy area looked defeated. I booked my tummy tuck procedure with Dr. Katzen and I am amazed. Now, the mirror is my best friend. I love what I see everyday!"
"Finally in a Bikini After Tummy Tuck. - Undergoing an elective surgery made me nervous but the feeling of excitement outweighed my nervousness. I had a tummy tuck with beautiful results. Dr. Katzen tightened my abdomen real good. I haven't owned a two piece bikini since high school. I just bought two!"
"Wonderful Doctor & Staff! I had a very good experience with Dr.Katzen. I had my surgery (tummy tuck) 8 months ago & couldn’t be anymore happy. His bedside manner is so professional, I’ve never felt rushed at any of my appointments, he listens & cares! After having my procedure I feel so much younger & happier. Thank you Dr.Katzen for my new body, I’ve been given a second chance!"
"Caring and Talented Doctor - I’ll start by saying I’m a nurse and can be picky with doctors. He is a great doctor. Super caring and communicative and great eye for aesthetics. I had tummy tuck and medial thigh lift. I had some complications with the medial thigh lift opening up a little but everything still healed up nicely. The scar is small and tidy even after opening and closing by secondary intention. I’m only 7 weeks post op so I still have a lot of work to do with my incision scars but he gave me a great shape. I’m happy. Updated on 10 Apr 2019: 7 weeks post op. Scar needs work work but the shape is great. The incision on my public area is from a tension suture but will fade. Im finally back st the gym. I will post pics of my thigh lift soon. These incisions took longer to heal so they are in a different stage of healing process."
"Refreshing to Meet a Surgeon That Has Experience and Nice. - My tummy tuck was done by 5 months ago and I am pleased to say everything went great. From the first moment I met Dr. Katzen, I remember how refreshing it was to meet a surgeon so experienced and NICE! He's a perfectionist and I appreciate that very much."
"Tummy Tuck - My aunt had surgery with Dr. Katzen in March. One day she asked for a ride for her follow up visit so I took her. I got to meet Dr. Katzen and was intrigued. Long story short, I became a patient myself. I had a tummy tuck and my abdomen looks amazing."
"Mommy Makeover with the Amazing Dr. Katzen - Every time I tell myself it’s time to schedule a mommy makeover, I would put it on the back burner. I would book a vacation or upgrade our kitchen or something else. Well, I did it, I had my mommy makeover (tummy tuck and breast augmentation). I am so glad I did, my only regret is, I wish I would have done it sooner, the kitchen remodel could have waited. Dr. Katzen is the go to plastic surgeon. He is amazing with his surgical techniques and has an AMAZING personality to go with it."
"Much Needed Mommy Makeover - I am a proud mama of 2 super adorable kids. My youngest is now 5 years old and I was ready for my mommy makeover surgery.

"Traveled from Utah to Las Vegas to Have Tummy Tuck with Dr. Katzen - I live in Utah so when I found out Dr. Katzen had an office in Las Vegas, I was excited it was going to be a short drive to see him. I needed a tummy tuck and his tummy tuck work that I've seen online has been excellent. The day I met Dr. Katzen, I had zero doubt in my mind he was going to be my surgeon. Let me tell you, he gave me a flat, tight abdomen (you can bounce a coin off my tummy). The best part about Dr. Katzen is that he is humble, kind, and down to earth."
"Fan of Dr. Katzen and His Work. - Excellent results and service from Dr. Katzen and his entire team. They are truly caring and experienced. I followed Dr. Katzen on Instagram and I've been a fan of his since then. I underwent a tummy tuck and it's beautiful!"

"I am a 47 year old male who desired a tummy tuck. It seems unconventional, but us men want to look good too. I went to Dr. Katzen, a reputable surgeon with hundreds of great reviews. My results are perfection."
"I’m just entering my 50’s and my body has been noticeably changing. My breasts are droopy and my nipples are pointing south, not a very attractive visual. Thank goodness for Victoria Secret’s bras, my breasts look ok in clothes. I decided it was time to get a breast lift. My co-worker went to Dr. Katzen for plastic surgery and was really happy with her tummy tuck. She referred me to him. I had a breast lift and I love it. The “girls” are perky and perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Katzen. He is an absolutely amazing surgeon."
"Last year I decided to embark on a life style change which includes counting calories and working out. I was proud of my 92 pounds weight loss. Because I carried my weight mostly in my stomach area, that became the problem area with sagging skin. Working out did not resolve that. I met a gym buddy that had a similar situation as I did and gave me a referral to a plastic surgeon. She herself had gone to him and she looks so good. At first meeting with Dr. Katzen, he made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He speaks in layman’s term, not doctor mumble jumbo. I had a tummy tuck and love my outcome. He tightened my abdomen and even gave me a nice waistline and belly button. Dr. Katzen is amazing from the start and throughout my follow ups. His bedside manner is remarkable."
"I’ve been divorced for a year and wanted to start meeting people again. Online dating can be stressful and got me very anxious. To create a profile on these sites, they asked me to upload photos. I took some photos but immediately deleted them. My gut was sticking out and I hated it. I must have taken dozens of pictures and deleted them all. I figured I needed to make a drastic change in my image if I am going to put myself out there. I’m happy I found Dr. Katzen on Real Self and had a tummy tuck with him. He is genuine and good at what he does. After the swelling subsided, my tummy is flat and small, it looks so good. I find myself walking with a little more pep in my steps. I have more confidence with how I present myself. I even dress differently. My first online date is this coming weekend. I’m excited and nervous at the same time."
"I had a mommy makeover and I’m not even a mom (LOL). I wanted a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I found Dr. Katzen online and was impressed with his background and training. I then found many great reviews and talked to one of his patients through Facebook private messaging. His patient strongly recommended him, so I proceeded forward with surgery. I have since been Facebook friends with this gal. She helped me through my recovery. Dr. Katzen did an amazing job on my “mommy makeover”."
"My experience with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen has been outstanding. He is exactly what you would want in your surgeon; caring, professional, experienced, humble, and most importantly, produced great results. My younger years of beer drinking caught up to me, I ended up with a beer gut that I could not get rid of on my own. I went to Dr. Katzen for a tummy tuck and my new tummy is flatter than ever. I'm very impressed with Dr. Katzen and his staff. He gets a solid 5 stars from me!"
"My 20-year class reunion is coming up next year. I want to look my best and cannot wait to see what all my classmates are up to. After 3 kids, I needed a little help from Dr. Katzen to tighten my abdomen. Dr. Katzen performed a tummy tuck on me and it looks better than when I was in high school!"
"I was so excited and proud of myself that I can finally fit into size 7 jeans (baggy jeans) after losing 100 lbs. My daughter tells me I needed to stop wearing baggy jeans because I looked fat, I didn't know how to shop for my new body. I asked my daughter to go shopping with me and I was left in tears. I tried on some form fitted jeans and couldn't fit my thighs through the legs. I had a tummy tuck before, so the excessive skin on my abdomen were resolved. I normally wear maxi dresses so my thighs were always well hidden. No amount of exercise can rid my big thighs so I turned to surgery. I found this amazing surgeon in Beverly Hills and he did an excellent job with my medial thigh lift."
"I met Dr. Katzen many years ago at a Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America meeting. I attended the meeting to get more information about weight loss surgery but I noticed he was listed as a speaker about reconstructive surgery after weight loss. I decided to attend the talk just to see. He spoke so well and provided great information. He shared many great pictures of his patients. Years pass, I had weight loss surgery and lost 108 pounds. I went to Dr. Katzen for extended tummy tuck and breast lift, best decision I ever made."
"My abdomen was needing a little nip tuck, so I went to the best in town….Dr. Katzen. I underwent a tummy tuck and it looks FAB!!!! I had my first formal outing last weekend and had on a long cocktail dress. Gosh, the feelings of joy overcame me as the compliments kept rolling in. People really noticed how flattering my new body was. I could not tell you how terrific Dr. Katzen is."
"I am completely blown away by Dr. Katzen's work. I came to him with a 54 year old body and he turned back time on my body. I had an extended tummy tuck with the hour glass tightening and the saddlebags removed. In addition, I had breast implants with breast lift. I just returned from vacation in Maui where I wore my first two piece swimsuit."
"My boss and I both had surgeries with Dr. Katzen. He is the best there is. Even when I felt nervous, he calmly eased my nerves. My abdominoplasty is perfection. I love that I can wear cute business attire to work. So many compliments, I love it!"
"There’s so much to say about Dr. Katzen, where do I start? He’s such a beautiful person inside out. He is humble, caring, has a big heart, and a perfectionist. I underwent a mini tummy tuck and it was smooth and simple. I arrived at the surgery center in the morning and home by early afternoon. Everything went well afterwards and my tummy looks amazing."
"I am a 46 year old male, had a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen. My experience went as well as I expected. Dr. Timothy Katzen was professional and delivered great outcomes. I had minimal pain and got back to work in 2 and a half weeks with zero complications."
"I started my search for a surgeon around 4 years ago. I had lost over 130+ lbs and wanted to remove the excess skin and fat that still remained. I had multiple surgeries performed by Dr. Katzen in March of 2018, as well as April of 2018. Wow is all I can say. I could not be happier with the entire process with Dr. Katzen! He is seriously the best surgeon around and truly cares about his patients. My first surgery I had: an arm lift, breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. All three procedures went incredibly well and I was able to go straight home after waking up from surgery. About a month later, I had my thigh lift done. I had an incision from my inner knee to my groin on both legs. This surgery was a bit more intense so I ended up staying in the recovery center for a couple days that he recommended. The entire experience I would do over again in a heartbeat. Dr. Katzen and his amazing team are there for you throughout the entire process. If you are in the process of finding a surgeon, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him. You will not be disappointed."
"I had an abdominoplasty done with another surgeon but my results are not satisfactory. I still had dog ears on the sides. I found Dr. Katzen online and made a quick visit to his office during my lunch time. He assured me he can fix the dog ear problem. Within two months, I was on the operating table and he fixed it. I am thrilled with my revision and highly recommend Dr. Katzen."
"I’ll start by saying I’m a nurse and can be picky with doctors. He is a great doctor. Super caring and communicative and great eye for aesthetics. I had tummy tuck and medial thigh lift.

"I love working with Dr. Katzen and his office. They accept Care Credit which helped me out financially. Dr. Katzen and his staff always make me feel warm and welcomed. I had my tummy tuck and couldn't be happier with the outcome!"
"Happy with Tummy Tuck and Breast Augmentation with Dr. Katzen - Who doesn’t need a little help by a plastic surgeon? I wasn’t shy telling my family about my plans to have a breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Instead of giving me gifts for my birthday and Christmas, I asked for money to go towards my surgery. They happily contributed. I chose the best surgeon money can buy. Dr. Katzen did my surgeries and it came out perfect. I am happy with Dr. Katzen, his office and his OR team. They are all great!"
"Dr. Katzen Was Supportive Throughout my Surgery Process. - After my tummy tuck, I was not able to walk straight. I was a bit hunched over with fear I might tear something if I straightened my back. Dr. Katzen said it’s normal because he tightened me a lot, but not to worry, I will straighten out soon. He was right, my tummy is so tight and so so flat! I walk perfectly normal with good posture now. It was nice to be reassured by my surgeon along the way to let me know not to panic when deep down, I was freaking out. Dr. Katzen was supportive throughout my process."
"I Used Care Credit for my Tummy Tuck. - I didn't think plastic surgery was ever going to be an option for me until I searched Dr. Katzen's website and filled out the application for Care Credit. I was so excited to finally get a tummy tuck. Dr. Katzen went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed to his practice. He does amazing work."
"I'm a 37 yo male. I couldn't stand my big belly gut. I found Dr. Katzen and he took care of it with a tummy tuck. Dr. Katzen is great a surgeon who delivers great results."
"After losing 100 pounds, I was able to fit into size 7 pants (as long as they were loose in the legs). I had a tummy tuck after the weight loss but my thighs were still a problem. I exercised but the excess skin was not going anywhere. I found Dr. Katzen who did my medial thigh lift. He is a wonderful surgeon with great bedside manner. My thighs look excellent!"
"My sister helped me find Dr. Katzen to do my tummy tuck. We extensively researched him to be sure everything checked out. We were pleased to know he is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. The best part was when my sister came with me for my consultation. We met so many of his patients in his waiting room and they had wonderful things to say about him. My tummy tuck looks amazing and my whole experience was exceptional."
"Found my Amazing Surgeon on Real Self - Real Self is my go-to for researching doctors. There’s so much good information on here. I find many of my questions are answered just by doing a quick search. I found Real Self during my search for a tummy tuck. I was pleasantly surprised to find thousands of before and after pictures, Q&A’s, videos, etc. I narrowed my search down to two surgeons in my area and ultimately went with Dr. Katzen. The time I invested in research was well spent. Dr. Katzen delivered an exceptional tummy tuck result and my experience was smooth."
"Feeling Confident in my Own Skin - After childbirth, my abdomen never bounced back. I admit, I gained more weight during pregnancy than I anticipated. I always said it would be no problem losing the weight after I gave birth. Boy, was I wrong! Thank goodness for Dr. Katzen, he did a tummy tuck and gave me an abdomen better than it ever was. He made it flat and gave me an hour glass. Dr. Katzen also gave me a newly improved belly button. I never liked my belly button before, but now it’s really cute."
"I love the new and improved version of me - All I can say is Dr. Katzen is the most amazing doctor I have ever encountered. I can understand why his patients rave about him. He's a gem: amazing surgical skills, well mannered, great office staff, what more can I ask for. I had a mommy makeover, which included breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. I love the new and improved version of me."
"Body Lift After Lap Band Surgery - I met Dr. Timothy Katzen before I had my lap band surgery. I knew with weight loss, excess skin would be a problem. It took me 16 months to hit my goal weight after lap band. I already knew Dr. Katzen would be the surgeon to do my plastic surgeries. I had a body lift with the incision wrapping all the way around my waist. The body lift included a tummy tuck, lateral thigh lift, buttock lift and mons lift. I cannot believe all those got taken care of with the body lift. Dr. Katzen is TERRIFIC!"
"Saved Up for a Great Tummy Tuck. - Never give up on your dream. I've been wishing for a tummy tuck. It's been on top of my list the past two years. I saw a patient's blog how she cut out certain expenses such as daily Starbucks runs and skipping vacation to save up for her plastic surgery. I did the same and saved enough for my tummy tuck. It's one of the best decisions I am glad I made."
"Dr. Katzen's Office Works Like a Well-oiled Machine. Great Surgeon. - I had an abdominoplasty with J. Timothy Katzen, MD. His office runs like a well-oiled machine. They are prepared and organized. I came in for a consult with Dr. Katzen, right afterwards I met with his surgical coordinator where she gave me a cash quote that included a breakdown of OR fees, anesthesia fees, surgeon’s fee and a few other fees. I immediately put a deposit down to secure my surgery date. They gave me a date to come in for a pre op visit. In the meantime, I was given work up orders and instructions on what to do and what to anticipate for. I’m a planner, so I appreciate that everything was laid out for me. As far as my tummy tuck, Dr. Katzen is a marvelous surgeon."
"Breast augmentation and lift after weight loss surgery - The first year after weight loss surgery, my weight was dropping at a rapid rate. One of the first things I noticed right away was my deflated saggy breasts. I used to have nice large breasts. Dr. Katzen usually recommends his patients to do the lower body (tummy tuck or body lift) first, but for me, my breasts bothered me the most. I had a breast augmentation with silicone implants along with a breast lift. My surgery was at 7 in the morning, I was in surgery over 3 hours, went home the same day. Pain was not bad at all and I healed just fine. I love how my breasts turned out, better than it has ever looked. Dr. Katzen knows I am coming back to do my lower body lift. See you soon doc!"
"Dr. Katzen Revised a Tummy Tuck Done by Another Surgeon - When I was 25 years old, I had this fantasy of a perfect beach body. I didn’t have much money but wanted a tummy tuck so badly that I went to the cheapest place I can afford, BIG MISTAKE! This young surgeon performed and botched my tummy tuck. Later to find out, he wasn’t board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I lived with it for over 5 years until I saved up enough to have it re-done.I found Dr. Katzen online and had a consultation with him in Beverly Hills. Dr. Katzen looked at my botched abdomen and assured me he can fix it. Not only did he fix it, he also tightened my six-pack muscle underneath, what a nice bonus. I can’t tell you how great it feels to have this super flat abdomen. I know everyone always says Dr. Katzen is the best, really he is."
"Great tummy tuck done by Dr. Katzen - Dr. Katzen is the the type of surgeon you wished all doctors would be. He's kind, down to earth, not [RS bleep], great at what he does, has a great educational background, and so much more. His staff are great, you can tell they love helping patients. I am a male who underwent a tummy tuck. I didn't think it was common until I entered Dr. Katzen's office. Evidently, I was not the only male who felt I needed a little work in my belly area."
"Mommy Makeover Dream Come True - I came to Dr. Katzen for a mommy makeover after hearing about him through a friend. I opted for a breast augmentation and lift along with the tummy tuck and muscle repair. I love how meticulous Dr. Katzen is with his work. My incision lines are thin and clean. His office staff are wonderful. They are always cheerful when they answer the phone and never makes me feel like I'm a bother when I ask questions."
"Family Did Not Want Me to Have Plastic Surgery but I Needed to Do It for Myself - I am a twin and always felt insecure because my sister was always a little prettier and fit than I was. Many of my family were against me having plastic surgery but I did it anyways because I wanted to feel better about myself. I had surgery with Dr. Timothy Katzen and I feel fabulous. He did a tummy tuck and breast implants."
"Highest Level of Care - It's really rare for me to write reviews but I felt the need to "pay it forward", after all, I researched Dr. Katzen and found the reviews to be extremely useful. I received the highest level of care and treatment from Dr. Katzen. I am a 48 year old male, had a tummy tuck, and very happy with it."
"Mini Tummy Tuck Surgery - I had a mini tummy tuck with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. My result is exactly what I imagined it would be. I hardly experienced pain (maybe my pain tolerance level is high). I was under the best care from Dr. Katzen and his entire team."
"Had Surgery on Nov. 12th! - I felt truly ready to do this and man was I right to be nervous about the pain. Pain after surgery was a completely different level than any pain I had ever experienced but my team took care of it and took care of me. Dr.Katzen is a miracle worker. My HW 305 and at time of surgery I was at GW 180. Dr. Katzen removed 12 lbs of skin and fat from my legs and abdomen area. Dr. Katzen performed a tummy tuck with muscle repair, lipo and mons lift as well as a medial thigh lift extending beyond my Knee. I had expressed my desire to shape and contour my knees as they looked horrible to me. Dr. Katzen says he is ecstatic with how everything turned out and he knows I will love my legs and super flat tummy! As long as I take my pain meds on time, i am able to stay pretty comfortable. The itching is real so I have Benadryl to take now. My recovery has not been what I expected. I had expected to be up and moving in the hospital as I had a two day stay after my procedure. I had also expected to be up and around a little but at home but Dr’s orders are complete bed rest for five days!! I’ve never been on bed rest. I have always been up and moving as soon as possible but I’m following doctors orders because I know it all give me the best results. So Im in Bed with six drains and a catheter but feeling pretty comfortable! Post op appointment is on Tuesday and I’m hoping to get rid of some of the drains but they aren’t bothering me so it’s fine if not. I’m hoping to have some post op pics to post after Tuesday!!"
"Nip tuck in my abdomen - My abdomen was needing a little nip tuck, so I went to the best in town….Dr. Katzen. I underwent a tummy tuck and it looks FAB!!!! I had my first formal outing last weekend and had on a long cocktail dress. Gosh, the feelings of joy overcame me as the compliments kept rolling in. People really noticed how flattering my new body was. I could not tell you how terrific Dr. Katzen is."
"Dr. Katzen Turned my 54 Year Old Body into a 20 Year Old Body - I am completely blown away by Dr. Katzen's work. I came to him with a 54 year old body and he turned back time on my body. I had an extended tummy tuck with the hour glass tightening and the saddlebags removed. In addition, I had breast implants with breast lift. I just returned from vacation in Maui where I wore my first two piece swimsuit."
"Thank you Dr. Katzen! - My boss and I both had surgeries with Dr. Katzen. He is the best there is. Even when I felt nervous, he calmly eased my nerves. My abdominoplasty is perfection. I love that I can wear cute business attire to work. So many compliments, I love it!"
"Exceptional experience with Dr. Katzen - There’s so much to say about Dr. Katzen, where do I start? He’s such a beautiful person inside out. He is humble, caring, has a big heart, and a perfectionist. I underwent a mini tummy tuck and it was smooth and simple. I arrived at the surgery center in the morning and home by early afternoon. Everything went well afterwards and my tummy looks amazing."
"Tummy Tuck (Male) - I am a 46 year old male, had a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen. My experience went as well as I expected. Dr. Timothy Katzen was professional and delivered great outcomes. I had minimal pain and got back to work in 2 and a half weeks with zero complications."
"The Best Surgeon in Beverly Hills! - I started my search for a surgeon around 4 years ago. I had lost over 130+ lbs and wanted to remove the excess skin and fat that still remained. I had multiple surgeries performed by Dr. Katzen in March of 2018, as well as April of 2018. Wow is all I can say. I could not be happier with the entire process with Dr. Katzen! He is seriously the best surgeon around and truly cares about his patients. My first surgery I had: an arm lift, breast augmentation and a tummy tuck. All three procedures went incredibly well and I was able to go straight home after waking up from surgery. About a month later, I had my thigh lift done. I had an incision from my inner knee to my groin on both legs. This surgery was a bit more intense so I ended up staying in the recovery center for a couple days that he recommended. The entire experience I would do over again in a heartbeat. Dr. Katzen and his amazing team are there for you throughout the entire process. If you are in the process of finding a surgeon, do yourself a favor and schedule a consultation with him. You will not be disappointed."
"47 Yo Male Tummy Tuck - I am a 47 year old male who desired a tummy tuck. It seems unconventional, but us men want to look good too. I went to Dr. Katzen, a reputable surgeon with hundreds of great reviews. My results are perfection."
"Dr. Katzen is no average surgeon - he is the best surgeon there is. - Last year I decided to embark on a life style change which includes counting calories and working out. I was proud of my 92 pounds weight loss. Because I carried my weight mostly in my stomach area, that became the problem area with sagging skin. Working out did not resolve that. I met a gym buddy that had a similar situation as I did and gave me a referral to a plastic surgeon. She herself had gone to him and she looks so good. At first meeting with Dr. Katzen, he made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He speaks in layman’s term, not doctor mumble jumbo. I had a tummy tuck and love my outcome. He tightened my abdomen and even gave me a nice waistline and belly button. Dr. Katzen is amazing from the start and throughout my follow ups. His bedside manner is remarkable."
"Dr. Katzen is genuine and a great surgeon. - I’ve been divorced for a year and wanted to start meeting people again. Online dating can be stressful and got me very anxious. To create a profile on these sites, they asked me to upload photos. I took some photos but immediately deleted them. My gut was sticking out and I hated it. I must have taken dozens of pictures and deleted them all. I figured I needed to make a drastic change in my image if I am going to put myself out there. I’m happy I found Dr. Katzen on Real Self and had a tummy tuck with him. He is genuine and good at what he does. After the swelling subsided, my tummy is flat and small, it looks so good. I find myself walking with a little more pep in my steps. I have more confidence with how I present myself. I even dress differently. My first online date is this coming weekend. I’m excited and nervous at the same time."
"Silicone Breast Aug and Abdominoplasty with an AMAZING Surgeon. - I had a mommy makeover and I’m not even a mom (LOL). I wanted a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I found Dr. Katzen online and was impressed with his background and training. I then found many great reviews and talked to one of his patients through Facebook private messaging. His patient strongly recommended him, so I proceeded forward with surgery. I have since been Facebook friends with this gal. She helped me through my recovery. Dr. Katzen did an amazing job on my “mommy makeover”."
"Male Tummy Tuck: I used to have a big gut on me. - I am a 37 year old male. I used to have a big gut on me. Although society seems to be more acceptable with a male gut, I was not okay with it. I seeked professional help with Dr. Katzen. Dr. Katzen did a terrific tummy tuck. I am definitely feeling more attractive."
"Tummy Tuck to Look Good for my High School Reunion. - My 20-year class reunion is coming up next year. I want to look my best and cannot wait to see what all my classmates are up to. After 3 kids, I needed a little help from Dr. Katzen to tighten my abdomen. Dr. Katzen performed a tummy tuck on me and it looks better than when I was in high school!"
"Before Thigh Lift, my Thighs Were Not Able to Fit Through the Leg of Jeans. - I was so excited and proud of myself that I can finally fit into size 7 jeans (baggy jeans) after losing 100 lbs. My daughter tells me I needed to stop wearing baggy jeans because I looked fat, I didn't know how to shop for my new body. I asked my daughter to go shopping with me and I was left in tears. I tried on some form fitted jeans and couldn't fit my thighs through the legs. I had a tummy tuck before, so the excessive skin on my abdomen were resolved. I normally wear maxi dresses so my thighs were always well hidden. No amount of exercise can rid my big thighs so I turned to surgery. I found this amazing surgeon in Beverly Hills and he did an excellent job with my medial thigh lift."
"Caring and Talented Doctor - I’ll start by saying I’m a nurse and can be picky with doctors. He is a great doctor. Super caring and communicative and great eye for aesthetics. I had tummy tuck and medial thigh lift. I had some complications with the medial thigh lift opening up a little but everything still healed up nicely. The scar is small and tidy even after opening and closing by secondary intention. I’m only 7 weeks post op so I still have a lot of work to do with my incision scars but he gave me a great shape. I’m happy."
"Tummy tuck 5 years after c-section - I am a mom of two boys, 5 and 7 years old. The thought of having plastic surgery has never crossed my mind until this last year. My youngest was born via c-section, the incision did something funky to my belly. I've been working out 5 days a week but I cannot tighten my abdomen. There's a flab below my belly button that is constant. I found Dr. Katzen on Real Self and went to him for a tummy tuck. He's an amazing person and did an amazing job on my tummy tuck."
"Tummy Tuck and Crescent Thigh Lift - My journey started 3 years ago with a lap band surgery where I lost 99 pounds. I learned how to eat smaller portions and keeping an active lifestyle. I maintained my 99 pound weight loss for 6 months before I decided to have a tummy tuck and crescent thigh lift. I went to the best surgeon money can buy and got exactly the results I wanted. Dr. Katzen really knows his craft and he does it well. I 100% recommend Dr. Katzen."
"Got Rid of my Beer Belly After Tummy Tuck - I blamed my beer belly on my excessive drinking in my 20’s and 30’s. I just turned 40 and I decided to reclaim my health and get rid of my beer belly. Dr. Katzen showed up while searching for a plastic surgeon on Real Self. He definitely stood out from the other plastic surgeons. I had a tummy tuck and my beer belly is gone. I’ve gone down 2-4 sizes in pants, depending what brand I buy. Dr. Katzen is great all around."
"From Texas, traveled to Calif for an abdominoplasty - My abdominoplasty was done in Beverly Hills, California by Dr. Katzen. I live in Texas but didn't care for the doctors I consulted with. I saw that Dr. Katzen offered complimentary Skype consults, so I said, why not. If anything, I can get a price comparison. Wow, he blew me away with his knowledge and he's down to earth. I had emailed him a picture of my abdomen and we discussed a surgical plan. Everything went well and I was back home two weeks after my surgery. We continue to communicate via email and phone. He's very good at returning my messages on a timely matter."
"Breast Lift and Extended Tummy Tuck - I met Dr. Katzen many years ago at a Weight Loss Surgery Foundation of America meeting. I attended the meeting to get more information about weight loss surgery but I noticed he was listed as a speaker about reconstructive surgery after weight loss. I decided to attend the talk just to see. He spoke so well and provided great information. He shared many great pictures of his patients. Years pass, I had weight loss surgery and lost 108 pounds. I went to Dr. Katzen for extended tummy tuck and breast lift, best decision I ever made."
"Revision of Abdominoplasty - I had an abdominoplasty done with another surgeon but my results are not satisfactory. I still had dog ears on the sides. I found Dr. Katzen online and made a quick visit to his office during my lunch time. He assured me he can fix the dog ear problem. Within two months, I was on the operating table and he fixed it. I am thrilled with my revision and highly recommend Dr. Katzen."
"Breast Lift. My Nipples Are No Longer Pointing Down. - I’m just entering my 50’s and my body has been noticeably changing. My breasts are droopy and my nipples are pointing south, not a very attractive visual. Thank goodness for Victoria Secret’s bras, my breasts look ok in clothes. I decided it was time to get a breast lift. My co-worker went to Dr. Katzen for plastic surgery and was really happy with her tummy tuck. She referred me to him. I had a breast lift and I love it. The “girls” are perky and perfect. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Katzen. He is an absolutely amazing surgeon."
"Tummy Tuck with a Highly Skilled and Experienced Surgeon. - My experience with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen has been outstanding. He is exactly what you would want in your surgeon; caring, professional, experienced, humble, and most importantly, produced great results. My younger years of beer drinking caught up to me, I ended up with a beer gut that I could not get rid of on my own. I went to Dr. Katzen for a tummy tuck and my new tummy is flatter than ever. I'm very impressed with Dr. Katzen and his staff. He gets a solid 5 stars from me!"
"Little "Pooch" Gone After Mini Tummy Tuck - I had a little “pooch” on my stomach that just wouldn’t go away. My friend recommended Dr. Katzen for a mini tummy tuck and I couldn’t be happier. The procedure was a quick outpatient procedure, I was in and out in a few hours. I had a speedy recovery and back to work in no time. My friends and family were surprised how fast I recovered. I’m 42 but my tummy looks like a 20 year olds tummy. I’m born and raised in Malibu, CA. Once I heal completely, I will be bikini shopping to show off Dr. Katzen’s work."
"Mini Tummy Tuck - I had my precious daughter a year ago. After giving birth, my tummy area needed just a little tuck. Dr. Katzen did an incredible job with my mini tummy tuck. I’m very pleased with the service I got from him and his office."
"35 years old, tummy tuck after three kids - I am 35 years old with three kids. I told my husband I am done having more kids and am ready for my tummy tuck. He was supportive and our quest began. He and I looked online to find a reliable surgeon with a good reputation. We narrowed it down to two surgeons and picked Dr. Katzen. Dr. Katzen was great. He did an amazing job on my tummy tuck. It's flatter than it's ever been. Highly recommend him!"
"Mommy makeover after 4 beautiful kids - I’m a mom to four beautiful children. My body has endured quite a bit and it was time to get it back to shape. There’s no shame in a mommy makeover, I needed it. A friend of mine had her breast augmentation and tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen and I loved her new body. I scheduled my appointment and immediately felt at ease with him. He takes the time to explain things in a language I can understand. Surgery and recovery went smooth as I had hoped for. I cannot wait for summer to hang out at the beach with my family and not worry about my flabs and sags."
"Nothing feels as good as being comfortable in your own skin - Having Lap band surgery was one of the best decisions of my life. My doctor said I needed to lose weight and change my lifestyle. It took me two years, but I lost 105 pounds. I ate right and started exercising. I was one of the fortunate ones who didn’t have a lot of saggy skin, perhaps because I’m still young. The one area that was a nuisance to me was my abdomen. It affected my confidence big time. I found Dr. Katzen online, I couldn’t wait to book my appointment. My first impression of him was great, he recommended a tummy tuck and the rest was history. He tightened my abdomen and gave me an hour glass figure I didn’t know I had. Nothing feels as good as being comfortable in your own skin."
"Very happy with my extended tummy tuck - I came to Dr. Katzen because of his great reputation, he did not disappoint. I had lap band surgery and had some excess skin. During consultation, Dr. Katzen said I would need an extended tummy tuck. I love his realistic approach to surgery. I came in not wanting a long incision but he says with my excess skin hanging on the sides, “the longer the incision, the better the results”. I trusted his judgment and went for it. I am very happy with the shape of my body, my waistline looks amazing. My scars will diminish with time and I’m good with that."
"Feeling attractive again after a mommy makeover - When I told my friends I wanted a mommy makeover, they were not very supportive. Just because I’m a mom doesn’t mean I should give up on my looks and myself. Before having 3 great kids, I felt attractive and sexy, somehow that started to slip away. I found Dr. Katzen online after consulting with 2 other plastic surgeons. Unlike the other surgeons, Dr. Katzen treated me like a patient and not just dollar signs. The day of surgery, I felt butterflies in my stomach. He assured me it was normal and calmed my nerves. He performed a tummy tuck, breast augmentation and lift. It’s been 2 months since surgery and I feel phenomenal. I’m getting my sexy back! Oh, and my husband is very happy with the results as well."
"Best Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon! - I found Dr. Katzen on Real Self. I love how this website is full of important information.

It’s a nice little confidence booster."
"I moved from the East Coast to California last year. I’m not shy about having plastic surgery to enhance my looks. I’ve had breast augmentation and some fillers done in the past. Living in California, I see many beautiful faces and bodies. I love going to the beach! I’m not pleased with my abdominal area, it needs a little work. I researched many doctors and there’s so many of them in my local area. It seems there’s one in every corner!I scheduled 4 consultation appointments from my top picks. Dr. Katzen definitely stood out from the rest. He is highly skilled and personable. He spent time answering my questions and made me feel comfortable.I underwent an abdominoplasty with doctor Katzen and let me tell you, he truly is the BEST doctor. My tummy looks amazing, I cannot wait to rock my 2 piece bathing suit at the beach."

"I belong to a bariatric support group at Kaiser where we meet and talk about our weight loss, pros and cons. I’ve been successful at losing weight and living a much healthier life style. In total, I’ve lost 175 pounds. My insurance covered my tummy tuck surgery but denied a thigh lift. Several ladies in my group have had surgery with Dr. Katzen and they proudly shared their experiences. I asked two of them if they wouldn’t mind sharing their scars with me and they did. I was pleased to see how well their scars have healed but most importantly, the placement of the scars were not noticeable. I made my appointment with Dr. Katzen and without hesitation, I booked my surgery. I am very content with my thigh lift. I can see a gap in between my thighs. I used to have to wear a skirt or dress all the time, even when it’s cold because pants did not fit me right. Now, I enjoy wearing pants, leggings, and shorts. It’s a weird feeling to finally feel “normal”. I am embracing my new body. I am so glad to belong to a great support group that is open about their experiences. They lead me to Dr. Katzen. I am so grateful for him and his team. He’s very compassionate about helping us weight loss patients. Thank you Dr. Katzen from the bottom of my heart! You are amazing in every way."

"Much Needed Tummy Tuck - I had 3 different consultations for a tummy tuck and Lipo. The moment I walked into Dr. Katzen's office I knew he was the one to perform my surgeon. He answered all of my questions, made me feel safe, did not rush me, made himself available via phone. His office coordinator Belinda is also amazing. I am so excited and nervous all at the same time! My journey begins now... count down time. I will post before pictures soon."

"Great Experience with Dr. Katzen and his entire team - Many thanks to Dr. Katzen and his entire team for making my tummy tuck experience a great one.

"Mommy makeover: I got my old body back and more! - I am one lucky gal. I found the most amazing surgeon to do my mommy makeover. My best friend knew of Dr. Katzen through her co-worker and told me to look him up. I am done having kids so my husband treated my to a mommy makeover which consists of a tummy tuck a breast augmentation. My body has not looked this good since I was in my early 20’s. I feel sexy again!"
"I do not know where to begin. Dr. Katzen is the best surgeon I've ever consulted with. Instead of him telling me what's wrong, I told him what I thought was wrong with me and he listened, cared, and gave me his best medical opinion. I've gone to other plastic surgeons and they automatically "suggest" WHAT I should get done and HOW I should get it done. But not with Dr. Katzen. I went in for a VASER Hi-def liposuction. The surgery was minimally invasive (which i wanted). Other surgeons wanted me to get a tummy tuck or a complete makeover (more money and more invasive surgery). THANK YOU DR. KATZEN FOR MY NEW BODY! -Peter :)"

I’ve gone to other plastic surgeons and they automatically "suggest" WHAT I should get done and HOW I should get it done. But not with Dr. Katzen. I went in for a VASER Hi-def liposuction. The surgery was minimally invasive (which i wanted). Other surgeons wanted me to get a tummy tuck or a complete makeover (more money and more invasive surgery). THANK YOU DR. KATZEN FOR MY NEW BODY!-Peter :)"
"Found Dr. Katzen through Real Self and I'm so happy I did. - I struggled with my weight and was miserable with the way I looked and felt. I researched options for weight loss and decided the healthiest option for me was diet and exercise. I knew it was going to be a long rough road but that was the road I took. I spend at least four days in the gym and ate healthy (well mostly). I lost 115 lbs and felt great! I enjoyed shopping for new clothes and sported a new hairdo. What nobody saw was the skin hiding under my clothes. No matter how hard I worked out, it was still there. I didn't want it to be a reminder of the old me. I found Dr. Katzen through Real Self and scheduled a free consultation with him. He is warm and great to talk to. He explained everything well and easy to understand. I had a tummy tuck with him and let me tell you, my stomach is as flat as can be. So so happy!"
"Best birthday present is my tummy tuck - Los Angeles, CA - Summer is coming up and I want to look sexy in a bikini again. Prior to having five kids, I exercised and took pretty good care of myself. With a hectic life, I haven’t been able to concentrate on me. For my birthday, I wanted to have a tummy tuck. My husband was supportive and took some time off to take care of the kids. I was referred to Dr. Katzen by my best friend. Her results are amazing and she had nothing but such great things to say about him. I had a tummy tuck and couldn’t be happier. My stomach is flat and Dr. Katzen sewed my rectus 6 pack muscle together to give me an smaller waistline. My biggest problem now is I have to buy all new clothes because nothing fits me anymore. I’m loving it!"
"Mommy Makeover better than my pre pregnancy body. - After giving birth to two kids and breast feeding them, my body needed a major makeover. I had a c-section and my stomach was never the same. I have this little hang over my stomach that I could not get rid of regardless of how much exercise I did. I read up on some doctors and came across Dr. Katzen’s website. He happened to offer a discount for a mommy makeover. I said why not, I’ll make an appointment with him. Wow, was I pleased to have met a kindhearted, experienced and thoughtful surgeon. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with lift. Dr. Katzen sculpted my body better than my pre pregnancy body. Thank you Dr. Katzen from the bottom of my heart!"
"Successfully lost 147 pounds, had body lift with very experienced and gifted surgeon. - I successfully lost 147 pounds and needed to find a surgeon to tighten up all my loose skin. I was not going to settle for any surgeon, I wanted to find one that understands weight loss patients who had massive weight loss with excessive loose skin. I needed a surgeon who was experienced with these types of issues. I researched and talked to many surgeons but most of them just did tummy tucks and basic cosmetic types of surgeries. Then, I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Katzen. He had everything I was looking for and more. I was impressed with his education, experience, results and compassion. I felt blessed to have found him. He was so gracious with his time from the start of my journey. He doesn’t treat me like a number, he genuinely cares."
"Much Needed Tummy Tuck - I had 3 different consultations for a tummy tuck and Lipo. The moment I walked into Dr. Katzen's office I knew he was the one to perform my surgeon.

"Rock hard abs after four kids. - I was feeling nervous prepping for my 1st major surgery, a tummy tuck. I am a mother of four wonderful and handsome sons. It always bothered me that I had loose skin in my abdomen. I exercise rigorously, doing 200 crunches and cardio every day. No matter how hard I worked out, I couldn’t get rid of the loose skin. My family doctor told me the only way to get rid of it is tummy tuck. My doctor also told me I had a hernia.One of my close friends told me she had a tummy tuck by Dr. Katzen and said how incredible he was. I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Katzen not certain that I would go through with the tummy tuck. I knew I had to get my hernia repaired. I asked many questions and Dr. Katzen was very straight forward with me on what to expect. He said he can do tummy tuck and repair my hernia at the same time so I decided to move forward.I remember waking up from anesthesia and seeing Dr. Katzen’s face asking me how I was feeling. He has many special qualities but his bedside manner is beyond amazing. The first few days, I panicked because I could not stand upright. Things felt really tight and I felt like I may bust my incision open. I called Dr. Katzen and he reassured me it was normal and promised I will be able to stand upright again and be able to return to gym life. He was right, I healed great and my abdomen is perfect! My friends and family all tell me how I have “rock hard abs” now. I am delighted to have had surgery with Dr. Katzen and so happy with my results."

"Great Deal on Mommy Makeover Special on RealSelf with Dr. Katzen. - I had seen a mommy makeover special with Dr. Katzen on Real Self and called his office for a consult appointment. The deal sounded great but I wanted to check it out. I noticed Dr. Katzen answers a lot of questions on RealSelf and I liked how he comes across. When I met him, he was warm and compassionate. He’s obviously very experienced based on the many albums of before and after pictures in his office. I proceeded to have a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with Dr. Katzen and I am healing nicely.

I am still healing but I look forward to the summer where I can swim without a shirt and feel normal."
"Amazing tummy tuck experience and results with Dr. Katzen. - Recently, I’ve decided to reclaim my health so I started to eat healthier and exercise on a daily basis. I’ve been successful with my weight loss and feel much better overall, not just physically but emotionally as well. I do have some sagging excess skin in my abdomen area so I needed to find a plastic surgeon to take care of the skin issue. I found a few surgeons who technically qualified, but I didn’t want to just settle. Then, I met Dr. Katzen. He was skilled, compassionate and made me feel at ease.

Dr. Katzen is truly the best there is out there. I highly recommend him!"

Everyone commented how great I looked without “knowing” I went under the knife. I love the way the pictures turned out, I will treasure them forever. I highly recommend Dr. Katzen, his work is outstanding."
"175 pounds weight loss, much needed thigh lift. - I belong to a bariatric support group at Kaiser where we meet and talk about our weight loss, pros and cons. I’ve been successful at losing weight and living a much healthier life style. In total, I’ve lost 175 pounds. My insurance covered my tummy tuck surgery but denied a thigh lift. Several ladies in my group have had surgery with Dr. Katzen and they proudly shared their experiences. I asked two of them if they wouldn’t mind sharing their scars with me and they did. I was pleased to see how well their scars have healed but most importantly, the placement of the scars were not noticeable. I made my appointment with Dr. Katzen and without hesitation, I booked my surgery. I am very content with my thigh lift. I can see a gap in between my thighs. I used to have to wear a skirt or dress all the time, even when it’s cold because pants did not fit me right. Now, I enjoy wearing pants, leggings, and shorts. It’s a weird feeling to finally feel “normal”. I am embracing my new body. I am so glad to belong to a great support group that is open about their experiences. They lead me to Dr. Katzen. I am so grateful for him and his team. He’s very compassionate about helping us weight loss patients. Thank you Dr. Katzen from the bottom of my heart! You are amazing in every way."

"Tummy Tuck with the amazing Dr. Katzen. - I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen. He is one of a kind, so amazing in many ways. He transformed my flabby tummy into a nice flat one. I haven’t had a flat tummy since I was a teenager! I absolutely love the new me."
"Dr. Katzen's work is incredible! - Dr. Katzen is a very genuine person. He truly cares for me as a patient. His office is wonderful as well. They are accommodating to my needs. I had weight loss surgery and was in desperate need for a tummy tuck.

"Brow Lift and Tummy Tuck with a top notch surgeon - I’m in my 50’s and I love to work out and play sports. Despite being active, I still have a little tummy that bothers me.

"Highly Recommend Checking Dr. Katzen Out. He’s Brilliant! - Beverly Hills, CA - Dr. Katzen is a brilliant plastic surgeon. He is also very kind and very caring.

"So Happy with my Abdominoplasty - Beverly Hills, CA - My experience with Dr. Katzen and his office has been beyond great. Dr. Katzen’s bedside manner is amazing, he’s so great with his patients. I had an abdominoplasty and my results are fantastic! I love my new flat tummy. Would I refer my family and friends to Doctor Timothy Katzen?……..I’ve been and would continue to do it in a heartbeat. He offers free consultations if you want to check him out."
"Flat Rock-hard Stomach with Abdominal Muscle Definition! - Beverly Hills, CA - There was only one question I had going into my abdominoplasty and leg work with Dr. Timothy Katzen: Would it be worth it? Whether as to the financial cost, the post-recovery process or simply being happy with the results? The answer is a resounding ‘Yes!’ in every way possible. I spent most of my life between 300-350 pounds. Five years ago when I was approaching 60, I finally addressed this lifelong problem, thereafter keeping my weight under 200 pounds. Yet, regardless of how much weight I took off, there remained the residual flesh and permanent fat deposits that are the inevitable result of being so overweight. That’s no longer the case thanks to the genius and artistry of Dr. Katzen. I’d met with a number of plastic surgeons, but clearly Dr. Katzen’s skills and patient attention were on a much more elevated level -- and he didn’t disappoint. Today I actually have a flat rock-hard stomach, one which reveals abdominal muscle definition. It’s not just incredible, but something I still can’t actually believe is me. I’m so thrilled with the results, I’m circling back around for a second set of procedures on my upper body. Dr. Katzen is not just providing me an entirely new body definition. He’s given that most priceless of gifts, something I couldn’t achieve through weight loss alone: a true sense of normality in every sense of the word."
"Desperately Needed a Tummy Tuck - Beverly Hills, CA - My step sister had surgery with Dr. Katzen a few years ago. I was the one who took her to all her appointments so I had the pleasure of interacting with Dr. Katzen each time. Each visit, he was very personable and had excellent bedside manner. He was always warm and professional at the same time. I had weight loss surgery and lost a lot of weight. I was in desperate need of a tummy tuck. There was no doubt in my mind who my surgeon was going to be. He treated me just like he did with my step sister, very kind and professional. He took the time to answer questions and concerns that my wife and I had. He also has a very supportive staff. They were great at getting my tummy tuck covered with insurance. I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Katzen. He is very good at what he does and the added benefit is how great of a person he is."
"Sag No More! Tummy Tuck, Breast Reduction, Arm Lift and Torsoplasty - Beverly Hills, CA - I had several consults with plastic surgeons that were unsatisfactory prior to consulting with Dr. Katzen. All of them told me that they cannot complete my needs, except Dr. Katzen. I had so much hope and confidence and he came through with amazing results. Dr. Katzen specializes in patients who have lost a large amount of weight so he was able to fix many of my excess skin problems.I’ve had gastric bypass surgery and lost 116 pounds. With weight loss, I was left with sagging skin all over: my tummy, arms, breast, etc. I felt my whole body sagged. I had multiple surgeries with Dr. Katzen. I had an abdominoplasty, breast reduction, arm lift and torsoplasty. I am very appreciative of everything Dr. Katzen has done for me. He is a very gifted surgeon. He’s also very kind and remarkable."
"Deepest Respect for Dr. Katzen As a Surgeon, but More Importantly As a Person - Beverly Hills, CA - Seven years ago, I had gastric bypass surgery. I lost over 160 pounds and felt so much healthier than ever. My bariatric surgeon had a support group meeting and had a guest speaker, Dr. Katzen. When Dr. Katzen spoke about reconstructive surgery after weight loss, I was so amazed with him and his work. He had many slides of before and after pictures that were so impressive. After Dr. Katzen’s presentation, I did not hesitate to book a consultation, then surgery. I had an extended tummy tuck and the results are amazing. I have the deepest respect for him as a surgeon and more importantly as a person. Not only is he a great surgeon, he is extremely kind and attentive. He always makes me feel important and focuses his attention on me at every visit. I’m a super happy patient."
"When I Was Referred to Dr. Katzen for a Tummy Tuck, I Immediately Loved Him - Beverly Hills, CA - I’ve made a lifestyle change years ago and lost over 80 pounds through eating right and plenty of exercise. I own countless number of exercise equipments. As hard as I worked out, my belly was still saggy and I can’t stand it. After years of hard work and not getting the results I needed, I decided to find a surgeon to do a tummy tuck for me. I consulted with 2 surgeons in my town then was referred to Dr. Katzen. I immediately loved him. He took the time to answer my questions. He performed the tummy tuck and it’s absolutely beautiful! He was just as happy for me as I was myself. I don’t remember ever having a flat stomach but I do now."
"My Results Are Perfect, Plus No Keloids! - Beverly Hills, CA - The idea of having plastic surgery never crossed my mind, it just wasn’t something I thought I would ever have done. A few years ago, I lost 125 pounds and felt great. I was more energetic and felt like my younger self. I dealt with my sagging skin by wearing compression garments, I had drawers full of them. They were not comfortable at all. After some time, I felt like I couldn’t live it these garments any longer. I started to research some surgeons and found Dr. Katzen, he met all my requirements that I was searching for. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has done many patients with my body type. Because of my dark skin, I was concerned about keloids. Dr. Katzen is very methodical and took all measures to prevent them. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation (with lift). My results turned out perfect! My husband, who has met me when I was heavier, is constantly complimenting how great I look. He’s always been supportive throughout my journey. He too, is very impressed with Dr. Katzen’s work."
"Mommy Makeover: Tummy Tuck, Breast Augmentation, Lipo Arms and Back - Beverly Hills, CA - LOVE Dr. Katzen & so grateful to him. I can't say enough nice things about him. He was very genuine, patient & kind to me before & after the surgery. On January 8th, I had a tummy tuck, liposuction of the back & arms, breast implant re-done (previously done with another surgeon), areoles & nipples reduced. Trust me I needed it after giving birth to 3 huge babies who are now 8, 6 & an almost 4yrs old. My boobs were in 2 different places, saline bags up high, skin & nipples were way saggy & low, my tummy would rest on my legs when I sit. I am now so happy w/my nice define arms & flat tummy and also a very nice natural looking breast.????????????"
"Tummy Tuck Revision After Going to a Different Surgeon - Beverly Hills, CA - I had gastric bypass surgery over five years ago. After I hit my goal weight, I had a tummy tuck (with another surgeon), but I was not happy with the results. I consulted with Dr. Katzen to see if he can do a revision on me. He performed the revision on my tummy tuck and in addition, I had him do an arm lift on me. The arm lift portion was covered by my insurance. The results on both surgeries are wonderful."
"Happy Flat Stomach After Tummy Tuck. - Beverly Hills, CA - I had some sagging skin in my abdomen area that caused rashes and frequent breakouts. I heard about Dr. Katzen through a friend and decided to go with him. When I came for my consultation, I felt reassured. He performed a tummy tuck and it has changed my life. I look more presentable and attractive in my clothing now. My stomach is FLAT!!!!!! Dr. Katzen is so caring and great!"
"My Daughter and I Both Had Surgery with Dr. Katzen. He's the Best! - Beverly Hills, CA - My daughter had surgery with Dr. Katzen last year and that was the first time I met him. He is everything you want in a doctor. He has very high ethics, professional, kind, caring, has great character and great integrity. Needless to say, I became one of his patients as well. I had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation with lift. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my results. I always recommend him to everyone I know. He’s changed my life!"
"I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen and couldn?t be happier with my results. He also has great bedside manner which is something I value."
"I love my new body! I came to Dr Katzen in January for a mommy makeover consult. He was so beyond nice and knowledgeable. He explained everything to me in a way that anyone without a medical license would understand! I had a breast augmentation and a tummy tuck, after 2 kids he explained that I would need a breast lift as well, no surprise! I went in knowing what to expect after surgery so there were not many surprises. His staff is so caring and knowledgeable they were available to me throughout this process to answer all my questions. I did go to other surgeons but I am so glad I chose the right one!"
"My husband met me before weight loss surgery and has been supportive regardless of my weight. I had weight loss surgery and ended up with sagging skin all over. I ended up having a tummy tuck, breast lift and breast augmentation. Now, my husband can't stop giving my compliments on how great I look. He's a big fan of Dr. Katzen as well as I am. "

"I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Timothy Katzen about a year ago when my daughter had surgery with him. I was very impressed with him and his practice. I ended up having an abdominoplasty and breast lift and augmentation with him as well. Best decision I ever made."
"Dr. Katzen is fabulous! He did such a great job on my abdominoplasty, my tummy is tight! He has such a great bedside manner and was always there for me.

"I was first introduced to Dr. Timothy Katzen at a support group meeting. He spoke about the possible need or desire for plastic surgery after weight loss. At that time, I was just beginning my journey, but after a loss of 100 pounds, I felt like it was necessary for me to go forward and have excess skin removed.From the first consultation meeting at Dr. Katzen’s office, I was very at ease and Dr. Katzen explained and answered all my questions. He made me feel very comfortable in such an awkward (to me anyways) situation. I proceeded with three surgeries. I had a neck lift, tummy tuck, torso and an arm lift. It was a journey, with all 3 surgeries, but a road well taken.Without the encouragement of Dr. Katzen and his great personality, and his office staff, I could not have done this. Also without my family and friends support, it would not have been possible. I am so thankful and blessed to have been able to be taken care of by such a great doctor and staff.Thank you so much for your care and concerns, and making me feel great about myself."

"My healthy life began when I had my gastric bypass surgery. Prior to the surgery I was on 11 different medications to control my diabetes and elevated blood pressure. I lost 130 lbs and was taken off all my medications. I started exercising a couple of months after the surgery to try to keep the skin from sagging, but it did not work. I then decided to have plastic surgery, a tummy tuck and breast reduction and breast lift.The gastric bypass surgery gave me a chance to live a healthier and longer life, which was the main reason for the surgery. I loved the change to my body and the fact that I could shop in the normal size clothes department. People no longer looked at me as a fat person but a normal person. I travel a lot with work and now I no longer needed the seat beat extension, that in itself was a great day. Even though I looked better in clothes I still saw the problem with the sagging skin.At this point I decided to start checking into plastic surgery. I went to 5 or 6 different doctors and finally decided to choose Dr. Timothy Katzen. Dr. Katzen specialized in weight loss patients and was familiar with the issues that surround us. I felt that he cared about his patients and listened to what I had to say. I also, felt he had a supportive staff and that was important to me. I had my tummy tuck and breast reduction and lift.At the recovery center I saw my new body for the first time and cried. I have never had a flat stomach and “perky” breasts. My life has only gotten better since the plastic surgery, I am now proud of my body, I may not be the smallest in the room but I feel like I am. Three months following the surgery I went on a 12 day cruise and Dr. Katzen encouraged me to get a bikini, which I did. It was so much fun looking at swimsuits that I would never had worn before. I wore it and did not feel I had to cover up my body and hide. I did wear my sunscreen to the parts of my body that never saw the sun.I am so thankful for the confidence that I have now as a result of the weight loss and the new body Dr. Katzen has given me.I can never thank him and his staff for the change in my life and the continued support."

"I had Gastric Bypass surgery and I have lost 172 lbs. I first heard about Dr. Katzen at a support group meeting. A few of the women there had been patients of his. They said such great things about him, and then he came and gave us a presentation about what he could do. He had such a caring manner that I knew I would want to have him help me when the time came. Well it came and we met for him to do my first surgery a Bilateral Inverted T Abdominoplasty (cut from between breasts to pubes and from hip to hip). I was afraid of surgery, afraid of the pain, just plain afraid. Dr Katzen and his wonderful office staff were with me every step of the way. They made me feel comfortable and secure that all would be well. It was! The surgery was a breeze I had very little pain. I was a bit uncomfortable but able to deal with it no problem. The communication with the Dr. and his staff was great. I never had to explain who I was or what I had done they knew me and my issues and helped with everything. Before I had my surgery I met with a family friend who is a Plastic surgeon. I thought he was closer to my home and with being a friend it would cost less. Well after the meeting I decided that his charges were about the same and he didn’t have nearly as much experience with excessive skin. As you know I went with Dr Katzen and I am so happy. I LOVE MY NEW TUMMY!!!!!!!!! It looks wonderful, my girlfriend said I look like a teenager and my husband said it’s like having a Porsche. I would recommend Dr Katzen for his great skill and wonderful manner, but also for his support staff, they treat me so well. I am just getting ready to go in for my next surgery (arms and breasts) I can’t wait!!!!!"

"I had gastric bypass surgery when I was at a weight of 375 pounds. I functioned daily at my job of more than 20 years always standing and never stationary. Because of health problems I sought out help for my weight. I wanted to live….and live a better quality of life. After having gastric bypass surgery I started losing weight rapidly. In six months I lost 120 pounds. In two years I lost a total of 210 pounds (I shrunk).Dr. Katzen and I met and at that time we started planning my reconstructive surgery. I had my tummy tuck with him shortly after. I now look and feel tight. Dr. Katzen did a great job making me flat and tight. I could not be happier with my results!!! Thanks Doc!!!!"

"Dr. Katzen is amazing. I had an anchor tummy tuck and hernia repair and seven years later my stomach is still tight and flat with a tiny little waist. His staff was amazing and his after care and bedside manner… More was impeccable. He is a friend and a doctor. He cares about his work. He cares about his patients. I wouldn't want anyone else if you want the best."

"I have been “the fat girl” my entire life. I knew from the time I was 6 years old that I had an eating disorder that I allowed to control my life and get me binging on food uncontrollably. My life has been unmanageable and my sanity level as been nonexistent. I would eat food out of the trash if no one was looking. I have gained and lost over 1000 pounds on diets that just didn’t work. After being told that I “look like two of you from behind, Melissa” I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I became desperate and was told that I needed to gain another 20 pounds before I would be a candidate for any type of weight loss surgery. I began what would be the final binge on my way to WLS. I gained the weight but was told I was still not a candidate. Finally, I went through another means, when I was 26 years old to start loosing weight. My choice was a spiritually based program and I can happily tell you that G-d and I have given away 110 pounds. I worked so hard on why I eat what I eat and fixing me from the inside out. I decided that this would have to be a lifestyle choice and not a means of losing weight. I have been doing this for just about 9 years now and I was able to keep the weight off. After 7 years of working a strict food plan, I finally started working out and found a love of it that I just could NEVER get before. I knew that my choice to make this a new lifestyle was sealed. Now it was time to seek out the perfect surgeon that would understand me…….I started my search and spoke with 5 different doctors all chosen by a means of referral. I had 2 different people tell me about Dr. Katzen. I went and saw him a few years ago and had a body estimate done. Because of family/life circumstances, I had to put my plans on my body overhaul on hold. Finally, in February, I went back to him again and said, “I am READY!!” I was pleased when he noticed my attempts at working out and told me that the leg lift we had discussed in the past was no longer necessary. A doctor that didn’t want to do something unnecessary? I knew I was in the right place. (By the way, when my surgery actually happened and I was under, Dr. Katzen determined that I also did not need the breast lift which shorten my surgery by 1 ½ hours AND put money back in my pocket.)My surgery took place 1 month later. I was scheduled for 9 hours of surgery which included: abdominoplasty, breast lift and augmentation, and liposuction. I had NEVER had any surgery in my entire life and Dr. Katzen and his staff assured me that I would come out just fine. They shared their own experiences with me as far as their own cosmetic surgeries were concerned. Dr. Katzen was there for me as were his staff. If I needed anything, they all went above and beyond the call of duty, whether it was in the middle of the night or on a Saturday shipping a new garment to me during their day off. I received phone calls checking on me constantly as well as well wishes and words of encouragement. I just knew that I chose the right doctor for the job. His compassion and bedside manner is second to none. I have given his name and number to many people I know since then. The main reason I chose Dr. Katzen was because he understood the journey that this former fat girl made from the woman lost in skin to a beautiful swan. It was more than just the mommy make over. I was completing the transformation with an emotional choice that has since then changed my life and I am SOOOO grateful to Dr. Katzen for his beautiful work and his beautiful heart."

(By the way, when my surgery actually happened and I was under, Dr. Katzen determined that I also did not need the breast lift which shorten my surgery by 1 ½ hours AND put money back in my pocket.)My surgery took place 1 month later. I was scheduled for 9 hours of surgery which included: abdominoplasty, breast lift and augmentation, and liposuction. I had NEVER had any surgery in my entire life and Dr. Katzen and his staff assured me that I would come out just fine. They shared their own experiences with me as far as their own cosmetic surgeries were concerned. Dr. Katzen was there for me as were his staff. If I needed anything, they all went above and beyond the call of duty, whether it was in the middle of the night or on a Saturday shipping a new garment to me during their day off. I received phone calls checking on me constantly as well as well wishes and words of encouragement.I just knew that I chose the right doctor for the job. His compassion and bedside manner is second to none. I have given his name and number to many people I know since then. The main reason I chose Dr. Katzen was because he understood the journey that this former fat girl made from the woman lost in skin to a beautiful swan. It was more than just the mommy make over. I was completing the transformation with an emotional choice that has since then changed my life and I am SOOOO grateful to Dr. Katzen for his beautiful work and his beautiful heart."
"This is from Kate reporting with incredible amazement at the ease, comfort and lack of fear I received from the professionals beginning with preoperative office appointments to the nurses, anesthesiologist and Dr Katzen who even won over my husband who with me was reluctant to adventure into another surgery. As for the outcome of the repair of my abdominal hernia and tummy tuck, I healed beautifully without a single negative event. I fully knew and was prepared to do the right things every step of the way. Today nearly six weeks later, I no longer suffer daily nausea and abdominal cramping-- not even needing to use laxatives and stool softeners. For the first time in over 4-yrs since my bariatric bypass, I can now 'burp' and 'oh what a relief it is'. And of course, I must not forget to mention that I have no further problems with a 'hangover the waist bulging' making my clothes fit much better. Thanks again for the individual attention and care, it meant a lot to me."

"I cannot recommend Dr. Katzen highly enough. He truly listens to you, he is just as excited about the results as you are and will work to help you be the very best you can. His office staff is friendly, knowledgeable and will work with your insurance company to get as much done for you as they can. I have done both my abdominoplasty and medial thigh lift and will be doing the backside and outer thighs soon. I remember how excited he was when he did the first surgery and each time as they put me under the last thing I remember is him holding my hand. You cannot find a more caring, knowledgeable and talented surgeon."

"It has been a month and a couple of days since my surgery. I am so excited and pleased with the results of my abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).The surgery went even better than expected with no surprises and my recovery has been quick and pain free. My entire experience has been amazing and can't believe how great I look and how quickly I have recuperated. Dr. Katzen significantly changed the appearance of my loose skin, and stretch marks in my abdominal area. I have a completely flat tummy...Hey!! He has given me a new body. I am fortunate to have found such a wonderful, brilliant and gifted surgeon who's making his patients look and feel better. Thank you Dr. Katzen for a memorable experience with plastic surgery. Your skills and ability to turn dreams into reality are amazing. You and your staff are examples of what the practice of medicine and patient care should be. I am extremely happy with the results of my surgery. I would recommend Dr. Katzen to anyone. He is an awesome plastic surgeon! Now I can truly say I have a Body by Katzen! In the future, if I need anything else done, I wont hesitate to come back! Thank you again for changing my life."
"I had Gastric Bypass in April 2006 and had lost over 100 pounds. My body bounced back pretty well from the weight loss with the exception of my tummy area and the breasts. So I decided to look into the possibility of plastic surgery. I went to a few consultations however some plastic surgeons made me feel uncomfortable while others just didn't leave much of an impression. When I met Dr. Katzen at a weight loss seminar, I scheduled a free consult right away. I felt so comfortable with him immediately!
Dr. Katzen in 2008 performed a tummy tuck, breast reduction/lift and implants to give me the fullness at the top of the breast that I wanted. He listened to exactly what I wanted and that is exactly what I got!!I am so glad that I chose Dr. Katzen as my surgeon and I cannot be happier with my results. He makes every patient feel special and he spends the amount of time you need to get all of your questions answered. He is patient, gentle, kind and his bedside manner is TOP NOTCH. I have recommended Dr. Katzen to many of my friends and will continue to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a genuinely sweet, caring, talented plastic surgeon. He transforms your body into what you could have only dreamed of!"
"I can say “thank you” a million times, but in my opinion that does not even begin to convey the impact you’ve had in my life and the tummy tuck you performed on me. The transformation is amazing!! The change in my everyday life is surreal. I can’t believe the new life I am living today. My mood has changed, I am genuinely HAPPY rather than the to be known as the fat jolly girl.The whole procedure was no where close to what I had imagined and I am glad you gave the confidence and reassurance I needed to have the courage to undergo the “BEST” thing I have ever done for myself. I am almost 40 years old and did not look this great when I was 20. Thank you for giving me back 20 years of my life. When I see my friends that I have known since high school, I’ve been told, “You look so pretty now. What did you do to yourself?”The slight discomfort if any is not even comparable to my severe menstrual cramps. I’ll be darned if I let that gut grow back. This whole transformation has reprogrammed my attitude towards food, exercise and the importance of my general well-being. Some of someone else’s life simple things are now simple for me too like getting a pedicure. Now, I can just wave my feet in the air rather than struggle turning from side to side because my abdomen was too large and very uncomfortable, not having to hide behind my kids to take a picture in the hope that my gut would go unnoticed. I have a full view of my body and love every minute of my new life. Thank you Dr. Katzen for giving me a “jump start” to a better looking and healthier “me”. You are a wonderful and kind human being and a great and highly ethical surgeon. I had the best of both worlds and may God bless you always so you may continue your mission and those who are treated by you to have the same experience I did, which is beyond belief."
"First of all I would like to thank Dr. Katzen and his staff for their help and support in answering my questions and taking great care of needs through out this process.My life has changed a great deal through the weight loss and after having the abdominoplasty. I can now see that the effort and sometimes physical discomfort was well compensated by my results and my new out look for my future and new body.Much thanks!"
"I’ve known Dr. Katzen for over a year. I met him through my doctor for lap band and I’ve been very happy with his work on reducing my very large breasts to a perfect C cup. I am also waiting for a tummy tuck and I feel really strong that the procedure will be a success. Dr. Katzen’s mannerism is very young and hip, he’s with the style and very friendly and pleasure to be around. I thank him in advance for future treatments."
