"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."
"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."

"After having gastric bypass surgery and losing 220 pounds, I was left with a lot of excess skin. In October 2016, I had a consultation with Dr Katzen. I immediately knew he was the one. Dr Katzen is very professional, courteous and he listens. He clearly explained to me what he could do and what I could expect. So in January 2017, I had my 360 Body Lift procedure. When He removed the bandages about a week after the procedure, I almost cried. I looked down and all that hanging skin was gone. It wasn’t pain free but the pain was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. In May 2017. I had a male breast reduction and back procedure. I followed doctor’s ordered and my recovery went smoothly. I highly recommend Dr Katzen and his amazing team."

"Five years ago, I had weight loss surgery and lost over 200 lbs. I had a significant amount of sagging skin all over (tummy, back, legs, chest). Over the course of a few years, I consulted with a few surgeons but I wasn’t able to make a decision. Late last year, I attended the Obesity Help conference and met Dr. Katzen. I immediately knew he was going to be my surgeon. I felt comfortable and he was very honest about what my expectations should be. He said it would take 2 separate surgeries to reconstruct my body. Earlier this year, I had the body lift and healed nicely. After a week, I came back for my 1st check up. Dr. Katzen removed my bandages, I couldn’t believe my sagging belly, love handles and other parts disappeared. I don’t remember ever having a flat belly. I returned to work in 6 weeks as expected. Two months ago, I returned to Dr. Katzen to have a male breast reduction and back surgery. This surgery was in and out and I healed quickly. My chest is masculine and flat and my back looks amazing. I went back to work in 3 weeks. Dr. Katzen is truly an artist and is remarkable! He understands the struggles of a weight loss patient. He’s patient and takes the time to answer the questions I had for him. His staff is understanding and kind. Dr. Katzen gives us the body we can only dream about. I’m lucky to have found him, he’s changed me for the better."
