"Silicone removal then BBL - so fortunate to have found him - Eleven years ago, I made the horrible decision of having silicone injections in my butt. I regretted that decision so badly. Fast forward to the end of 2021, I got Dr. Katzen to remove the silicone from my buttocks. After months of having my body heal, I returned to Katzen to have a Brazilian Butt Lift. This is one of many of Dr. Katzen's specialties. I'm so fortunate to have found him."

"Silicone Injection Removal then Buttock Implants - I wish I knew then what I know now about raw silicone injections. Hopefully, my story can prevent another person from getting raw silicone injected into their buttocks. I got severely ill and it took my PCP doctor many tests to finally figure out it was due to the silicone injections in my buttocks. My doctor referred me to Dr. Katzen to have the silicone removed from my buttocks and it resolved my issues. In a few months, after I completely heal, I will be coming back to Dr. Katzen to have him do buttock implants."

"Feeling Myself Again After Silicone Removal from my Buttocks - I am hoping my review can help someone else out. Five years ago, I didn't make such a wise decision when I agreed to accompany my friend to her procedure to have raw silicone injected into her buttocks. They all talked me into getting it done too (for a discount) and I agreed. Initially, my buttocks looked good. It was nice and full. Over time, I started feeling pain in my buttocks. My butt became disproportionate, red, and lumpy. Of course, I became very concerned and did some research. Thank goodness I found many videos of Dr. Katzen talking about the dangers of raw silicone injections. He talked about the different ways he could remove it. After consultation with Dr. Katzen, I had the silicone removed from my buttocks with him. Dr. Katzen said the silicone moved to different parts of my body, which was so wild to hear. So very grateful to find a specialist like Dr. Katzen that understands silicone removal. I feel so much better now. I plan to return to Dr. Katzen to have buttock implants in the future."

"Buttock Implants Gave my Body the Shape I Have Always Dreamed Of. - For context, I am 5'4" and weigh 102 lbs. I wanted a Brazilian butt lift but I did not have sufficient fat to do a fat transfer. Dr. Katzen suggested a butt implant. I am so pleased with how full my buttocks look. I finally have curves in all the right places. I am now able to wear all types of clothing and look cute in them."

"Brazilian Butt Lift Before my Summer Cruise - Back in January, I wanted to prep my body for my upcoming summer plans. My single girlfriends and I will be taking a long cruise and that means lots of bikinis will be packed. My buttocks were on the smaller side so I opted to undergo a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Katzen. Oh MY! Dr. Katzen did a fabulous job and my buttocks look marvelous! I cannot wait to get into my bikinis this summer and enjoy my vacay with my girls."

"Silicone Removal Done, Waiting for Summer to Get Buttock Implants - I regret having raw silicone injected into my buttocks. If I did my research I would have known how harmful this was. I saw several videos from Dr. Katzen explaining the side effects of raw silicone injection and how he recommends for them to be removed. Having silicone injections was such a trendy thing to do but I don't think many people realize how dangerous it is. I'm just glad I had silicone removal from my buttocks. I am due to return to Dr. Katzen this summer to get buttock implants."

"Took advantage of "working from home" to have some work done - I took advantage of "working from home" to have some work done on my buttocks. I only needed to take off 2 days of actual work and the rest, I was able to work remotely, which was so nice! Plus, I have a very cool boss that allowed me to do this. I basically had a Brazilian Butt Lift with Dr. Katzen and he did a fantastic job. I had been following his work the last few months and figured no better time than now to get it done. I'm so glad I did."

"So Glad I Found Dr. Katzen to Remove my Silicone Butt Injection - After a bad experience with another doctor, I was lucky to find Dr. Katzen to remove silicone from my buttocks. I was experiencing redness, pain, chronic inflammation, lumpy scar tissues from my old silicone injection. Dr. Katzen was able to remove my old silicone from my buttocks and gave me a butt lift. I feel so much better and look so much better now. Dr. Katzen is a blessing!"

"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."

"BBL with Dr. Timothy Katzen - I underwent a Brazilian butt lift with Dr. Katzen in Beverly Hills. During this pandemic, he's been extra cautious with seeing limited patients in the office. There is usually only one patient in the office at a time. He also has his patients take a covid test before surgery and he himself takes them on a regular basis. I love the shape and size of my "new" buttocks. I was never able to wear leggings or work out pants before due to my flat butt. Now, I can fill them out and it looks good."

"I used to hate how flabby and flat my buttocks used to look. Clothes didn't look good on me. I used to buy longer tops to cover my butt. I went to Dr. Katzen for a Brazilian butt lift. The results are beautiful. I love the shape and size of my new butt. Dr. Katzen and his office are just amazing!"

"Gastric bypass saved my life. My health was down spiraling three years ago, I had to do something to become healthier. It was a daily struggle. After a year and 2 months, I lost a total of 152 pounds and the healthiest I’ve been in ages. I expected some excess skin but my body was wrinkled worse than a 100-year old woman, much worse! I felt depressed knowing I went through life-changing surgery and still not happy with my life. I attended a weight loss surgery conference and met Dr. Katzen. I admired his before and after pictures and spoke with him and his patients quite extensively. Before leaving the conference, I told him I would be booking my 360 body lift surgery with him. Within three months of meeting him, I was on the OR table. He removed 24 pounds of excess skin and fat from the mid section. My stomach is flat and he created a beautiful hour glass figure I didn’t know I had. From the same incision, he pulled the skin of my outer thighs and tightened it, gave me a butt lift and mons lift. I am blown away with the results. I am in tears as I am typing this review, he has completely changed me as a person, both physically and mentally. Dr. Katzen is my hero!"

"Brazilian Butt Lift - I despised how horrible and flat my butt used to look. Many clothes looked bad on me; slacks, dress, bathing suits, rompers, and jeans. I underwent a Brazilian butt lift with Dr. Katzen. I love the shape and the overall look of my butt. My clothes fit me nicely now."

"Great Experience with Brazilian Butt Lift - For the last eighteen months, I’ve been contemplating having a brazilian butt lift. I found a couple of doctors I liked on Real Self and made appointments with both. They both were qualified and their prices were comparable. I ultimately decided to go with Dr. Katzen because I felt a better vibe with him. Dr. Katzen helped me achieve the look I dreamed of. So glad I had this brazilian butt lift procedure."

"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!"

"Great volume and shape of my butt. - I am a sales rep and feel my image is important. I think I look good but needed major help in my buttock. I inquired about a brazilian butt lift and started to prep for it (gaining some weight for the fat). After a few months, I was ready to go. I am so happy with the volume and shape of my butt. Dr. Katzen was great at explaining the process and did a great job with the brazilian butt lift. Thankfully, I was able to lose weight quickly and back to my old weight. I really like the way I fit in my clothes now, what a difference!"

"Had two stages of surgeries with Dr. Katzen to complete my weight loss journey. - I had a gastric bypass 13 years ago and was now completing my skin removals and lifts. I did quite a lot of research for a doctor who could help me complete this journey. After reading many testimonials and talking to Dr. Katzen I decided he was the right surgeon for me. Dr. Katzen is an amazing doctor and an amazing person. Not only is he very skilled giving excellent results he is also very caring and compassionate. I had surgery (Butt Lift and Liposuction) last year with Dr. Katzen and my results are fantastic. I returned this year to do my thigh lift and final surgery.  I can whole heartedly and without any reservation recommend Dr. Katzen. I had complete confidence in him for my next surgery and would not have considered anyone else to help me complete my weight loss journey. My experience with him for this 2nd surgery was even better than the first and I am thankful that Dr. Katzen is my doctor."

"Great experience with Dr. Katzen...coming back for more surgeries with him! - Beverly Hills, CA - I think Dr. Katzen is a great surgeon. I had a back side body/butt lift and liposuction of my legs as staging for my thigh lift. I chose to do this in two parts. My experience with Dr. Katzen was wonderful and he took very good care of me. He has a great bedside manner. I am very happy with the results so far. I have even gotten compliments on my butt. I am now ready for phase two of my ..."

"Butt Lift and Thigh Lift. Dr. Katzen is Extraordinary! - Beverly Hills, CA - I lost 110 pounds through bariatric surgery and it enabled me to live healthier. I felt with all this weight gone, I was able to have a fresh start in life. I started exercising and worked out regularly but some parts of my body didn’t tone or shrink the way I was hoping it would. I started my quest to find a plastic surgeon who specializes in weight loss patients. I was referred to two surgeons by trusted individuals. I consulted with them and felt overall they were excellent surgeons; however, I felt unsure because neither one of them have done many buttock lifts and medial thigh lifts. I continued my search online and found Dr. Katzen. I was impressed and elated when I read that he specializes in weight loss patients. It wasn’t until I was in his waiting room lobby when I felt like I was at ease. I was able to meet and talk to some of his post ops and they spoke of Dr. Katzen with such high regard. I had a butt lift and medial thigh lift. I now have the confidence to wear shorts, skirts and even a swimsuit. I am now one of those post ops that can’t wait to tell everyone how extraordinary Dr. Katzen is."
