Reviews for Beverly Hills, CA Plastic surgeon Dr. J. Timothy Katzen Liposuction Procedures
"A miracle worker - I look like an improved version of myself - If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Katzen is by far the best doctor I've ever encountered. His bedside manner is impeccable and he never made me feel rushed in my appointments with him, answering every question I had. I came to him to finish my weight loss transformation after losing 150 lbs resulting in a lot of excess skin. I had 2 rounds of surgery combining several procedures together; round 1 was lower body lift with muscle repair, neck lipo, and medial thigh lift and round 2 was arm lift with horizontal back lift, breast lift, and augmentation. It was a lot and recovery was intense but Katzen and his staff always made sure that I was well taken care of and supported every step of the way. My results are beyond anything I ever imagined Dr. Katzen truly is an artist but most importantly he didn't try to sell me on procedures I didn't need and he tailored my surgeries for the best results so I look like an improved version of myself and not lot a plastic doll off the assembly lot. I'm so grateful to Dr. Katzen and his amazing staff."
"I had abdominal sketching, a crescent arm lift, and liposuction. He did a wonderful job. Dr Katzen has a wonderful bedside manner, he listens to the patient, and gives you exactly what you ask for. I would highly recommend him! He is a very talented surgeon. My crescent arm lift is essential scar-free. The results are even better than I could have hoped for."
"I had an arm lift with Dr.Katzen and I'm very happy with the results. You can see in the results pictures he has on his site how skilled he is in this area. He made me feel very comfortable from the consultation and when I was concerned about scarring he was realistic with me that I wouldn't be happy with just a liposuction due to the leftover skin. The scarring is going down with his recommendations and I'm so glad I chose to work with him. Plus, Yesyka and Talia are gems and made the whole billing to healing process easy."
"Posterior buttocks lift right side only - he finally fixed me - Hello, I wanted to share my experience with Dr. Katzen & the team. I am beyond grateful I found him. Dr. Katzen and his team are amazing. From scheduling my surgery to my recovery, I was always treated with good care. Dr. Katzen always made me feel comfortable such a sweet caring person and very humble. I had a BBL done in 2015 by a famous Doctor and my outcome wasn't what I thought it would be. I came out with an asymmetry issue :( My right side of my buttock was bigger and saggy, I also didn't help my situation by gaining weight after being depressed about it. I went to two different surgeons to try and fix my problem the first one suggested liposuction with laser tightening treatment, but that didn't work I felt like my right buttocks sagged even more. So I left it alone and continued with life. I ended up getting pregnant had my baby and I lost weight, well I felt like I was sagging more. So I had a Posterior buttocks lift with another surgeon, well guess what I was left with the same issue one side was bigger than the other. at that point I was distraught. I felt helpless and mad at myself for not doing things right the first time. I finally found Dr. Katzen the only doctor that took the time to go over everything he didn't rush me or judge me and listen to my concerns. I don't live in California so I had a consultation over the phone with him, but he made me feel so comfortable and happy that he would be able to help me. I traveled there for my surgery and during my, in-person consultation he went over step by step every detail of my surgery. I am so thankful for your professionalism, kindness & for just listening to me. You fixed me finally after all I had been through Dr. Katzen was the only one that did it right! I don't have to walk around self-conscious about my body, I don't have to cover myself with sweaters around my waist in 100° weather. I can finally be out in public with my family without having them be prisoners of my mistake. Just some advice if you get surgery do it right the first time, don't let social media fool you find someone professional and with lots of experience like Dr.Katzen! Thank you again Dr. Katzen & Team!"

"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."
"Liposuction of abdomen with great results - recovery was smooth & normal - Dr. Timothy Katzen performed liposuction on my abdomen and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. My recovery was smooth and normal. Dr. Katzen treats his patients with kindness and respect, something I find rare in surgeons. Prior to meeting with Dr. Katzen, I consulted with two other surgeons and they treated me more like a number than a person. I am beyond grateful that I found Dr. Katzen and get to call him my surgeon."
"Toned Muscular Abdomen and Arms After VASER Hi Def Procedures - When I originally looked Dr. Katzen up on Real Self, I was just browsing liposuction procedures. To my sweet surprise, I noticed Dr. Katzen does VASER High Definition procedures. Woah, his before and after pictures looked so good! After much research, I ended up having the VASER High Definition procedure on my abdomen and arms. Dr. Katzen gave me a toned, muscular look which I absolutely love so much."
"Neck Lipo Made Me Look Younger and Slimmer. - I came to Dr. Katzen because my neck was bothering me. I had a fatty neck that never went away even after I lost weight. I thought Dr. Katzen would have said I needed a neck lift but he said neck liposuction would be a great plan for me. On the day of my final post-op visit, when Dr. Katzen did the final reveal and I've healed well, I literally cried. My neck looked so much better than I could have imagined. I look slimmer and younger instantly. Thank you so much, Dr. Katzen!"
"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."
"Neck liposuction and chemical peel - so happy with how my neck looks - I came to my consultation appointment with Dr. Katzen expecting to have a neck lift but instead, he said he could fix my double chin problem with just neck liposuction. I was thrilled. I asked for the first opening he had on his surgery schedule and the rest was history. I am so happy with how my neck looks. I can't believe Dr. Katzen was able to perform a neck lipo and got the results I got, it's incredible. Since I was going to be under anesthesia, I also asked for a chemical peel, I'm so glad I did."
"My Body is Ready for the Beach After VASER Hi-Def of Abdomen and Arms - I heard about Dr. Katzen through a colleague and was just interested in liposuction of my arms and abdomen. As I awaited my appointment date, I went on Dr. Katzen's website to do further research. To my surprise, I learned about VASER High Definition procedures and it immediately piqued my interest. During my consultation with Dr. Katzen, I asked a lot of questions about this VASER procedure and was sold when Dr. Katzen pulled up an entire album of pictures. Woah, the VASER lipo procedures produce such awesome results. I had VASER hi-def of arms and abdomen and I am still amazed at how my body looks. My body is already beach and vacation-ready."
"Vaser lipo in abdomen 1 month post - perfected my abs - My experience with the VASER liposuction in the abdomen was excellent. I've always wanted this procedure but was holding out until the time was right. All I can say is, Dr. Katzen knows exactly what he is doing. He perfected my abs, it's out of this world. My only regret is, I wish I would have done this sooner."
"Liposuction of abdomen - no complications and healed beautifully - My experience with liposuction is uneventful, which is a good thing! I had liposuction on my abdomen and healed beautifully. I followed Dr. Katzen's instructions and had no complications or issues. Dr. Katzen is a true gentleman, kind, caring, helpful, perfectionist, and skilled. Overall a great experience with liposuction."
"Results are beyond perfection and I am so happy with my new body - Dr. Katzen is the kindest and most caring surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He and his staff are friendly and always accomodating. I had liposuction of the abdomen with Dr. Katzen. I felt like Dr. Katzen fully prepared me for what to expect before, during, and after surgery. I did everything he asked me to do so things went exactly as planned. Results are beyond perfection and I am so happy with my new body."
"I had a pooch in my stomach that was difficult to get rid of - After having 3 kids, I had a pooch in my stomach that was difficult to get rid of. I underwent liposuction of the abdomen with doctor Katzen. He's amazing and so is his entire team of professionals. They are a busy office but every time I come in, they treat me like I am the only patient. They never make me feel uncomfortable if I ask too many questions. My experience with doctor Katzen and the surgery was amazing."
"Dr. Katzen is a gem - all I can say is wow! - Dr. Katzen and his entire team are absolutely incredible!! From start to finish, they made me feel completely comfortable with the procedures. Dr. Katzen was so personable and was easily reachable even after work hours. Now for the results...all I can say is WOW! I got chin lipo and vaser arm lipo. I am soooo happy with the results. I've wanted it for awhile but was hesitant to go under the knife. I'm glad I did it and couldn't imagine anyone other than Dr. Katzen performing the surgery."
"I am very happy with my lipo - When looking for a plastic surgeon, I immediately turned to Real Self for answers. I read through many reviews and looked at many pictures. I found Real Self to be very resourceful. I narrowed my options to 2 surgeons and ultimately chose Dr. Katzen to perform liposuction on me. I am very happy with my lipo and my overall experience was exceptional. I highly recommend you do your research before any kind of procedure, I am really glad I did."
"Liposuction of abdomen to get rid of some stubborn fat - After having 3 gorgeous children, it was finally time to get some liposuction in my tummy. The procedure was quick, I did have some pain as expected, but Dr. Katzen was great at managing it though. Liposuction was able to get rid of some stubborn fat that I was not able to work off on my own. I'm glad I went to Dr. Katzen for this procedure. He's pretty amazing!"
"6 pack abdomen procedure, very pleased - Having VASER High Definition Liposuction in my abdomen is a dream come true. I never imagined having this surgery, but when my buddy had his done through Dr. Katzen, I was blown away with how good his abdomen looks. I had the same procedure and I'm just as happy with the outcome as he is."
"Dr. Katzen is very talented with a cheery personality. - I do some magazine modeling and it was important for me to have nice looking abs. I came across Dr. Katzen's youtube channel and was amazed by his skill and talent. I viewed his video about abdomen vaser hi-definition liposuction. Wow, I was blown away by how it completely transformed people's abs. I was convinced this is a great investment for me, so I went ahead and booked my procedure. As expected, Dr. Katzen did not disappoint. He delivered excellent results with a happy cheery attitude, which made my entire experience great."
"Dr. Katzen is a True Artist at Sculpting Bodies. - I had the Vaser High Definition Liposuction procedure on my abdomen by Dr. Timothy Katzen. When I tell you this man knows how to sculpt your body, I mean he REALLY knows how. Just check out his website for yourself. I wanted to have a 6 pack, well defined, highly sculpted abs, and that's exactly what I got. Dr. Katzen is a true artist when it comes to sculpting bodies."
"Great Results and Outcome for VASER Hi-Def Abdomen - Dr. Katzen's office takes good precautions during this covid pandemic, which I highly appreciate.After reviewing many surgeons' websites for VASER Hi-Definition of the Abdomen, I chose Dr. Katzen. He had so many good before and after photographs that were impressive, to say the least. I wanted to treat myself to an early Christmas present, so I underwent this VASER liposuction of the abdomen. It's the best present I've ever gotten for myself. Very happy with the results and outcome!"
"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.

"My Arms Look Toned and Perfect After VASER Hi-Def Liposuction Procedure - I am in my late 20's and recently found out about a procedure that Dr. Katzen offers. It's called VASER Hi-Def Liposuction of the Arms. Basically, he used a VASER liposuction to sculpt my arms and gave me an athletic look.

"My review is based on a procedure I had with Dr. Katzen 3 months ago. I found him on the internet when I was looking for a surgeon who specializes in VASER Hi-DEF abdominal liposuction. He had a lot of pictures on his webpage for the exact procedure I was looking for. I was so impressed with the results and that's when my own plastic surgery journey began. Dr. Katzen is a perfectionist and is so good at sculpting bodies. He did a fantastic job on my abdomen, giving me a defined 6-pack look. I am so fortunate to have found him."

"I am currently recovering from a medial thigh lift procedure, three weeks post surgery. A bad liposuction procedure early In life left me with winkled skin in the front of my thighs to my knees. I am a fit person, and tried exercise to tone the appearance. I also tried expensive creams, light/radio based treatments, all with no results.Many times I researched having a thigh lift, but having already had a bad experience I was fearful. Add to that photos from thigh lifts gone wrong - torn sutures, infections- the prospect of a long and painful recovery - it all seemed too much risk.One day, something changed. I restarted my research, choosing Dr Katzen after a great consultation. I do not live in LA so there was distance coordination. Over the course of a few weeks, wonderful surgical coordinator Kierra patiently answered my endless questions & guided me through pre surgical medical requirements and testing. From the point of booking until now, I can’t help but feel surprised. I feel good. Have no torn incisions, no infection & no complications. Almost unbelievably- I expect I’ll be back to normal in three weeks. And my legs look GREAT - better than I ever dared to hope. Stating the obvious — this surgery is a big deal & choosing the right surgeon can not be overstated. Experience and skill matter. The day after surgery, at the care center, it was time for me to get out of bed and walk ten steps. I tried to stand and felt a stab of pain- my mind immediately fixing on panic - torn sutures and complications. I cried out and told the nurse nope, not getting up. She looked at me and said - you are not in any danger. I promise you. Your doctor is the very best. His stitching is the very best. I was at an independent care center, this nurse is not the doctor’s employee. Before I would leave, I would see the obvious professional respect held for Dr. Katzen. Saw that Dr. Katzen is the doctor chosen by other healthcare professionals. In closing, I would add a small bit about another aspect I personally appreciated. I’ve had a previous smaller surgery (lip lift) in Beverly Hills. It was fine, the result very good, but generally the experience felt tricky. I felt a bit self conscious, I’m not one for designer clothing, nor did I feel as polished as the staff or other patients. Whatever, the feeling was temporary. Going into my thigh lift, I expected that same atmosphere. A good & safe result- but being Beverly Hills- glossier than the real world. From the first appointment, I realized how wrong I was!Dr. Katzen and staff work incredibly hard- the people are genuine and the practice has heart. As it turned out - this did mattered a great deal. It’s a big surgery, sensing no judgment and feeling completely comfortable allowed me to focus on on healing. What a gift that was. Very sincerely, my deepest appreciation to Dr. Katzen, Kiara and team. I will add before and after photos after my six week mark."

"I had liposuction of abdomen and arms with Timothy Katzen, MD. I received first class treatment throughout. His office has their stuff together, shows they care. What a great team they have. I especially love how much they share on social media. If you don't have a weak stomach, they even share their surgical videos."
"There are no words that can describe how grateful I am to Dr. Katzen. He is the first surgeon I met with the biggest heart and not judgmental. I am a weight loss patient with lots of skin issues. He can tell I was nervous during my consultation and made every effort to ease my tension. I had the following procedures with Dr. Katzen: body lift, thigh lift, liposuction, breast augmentation with lift, and arm lift. These were staged into 3 different surgeries. I look and feel like a different person. I have a new lease on life and I'm loving every moment of it."
"This review is for Dr. Katzen and his team! Dr. Katzen is a doctor who you want to go to! I live in Oakland, Ca and I decided to get two procedures done with him (separately) and I don’t regret it! I got liposuction on my stomach and a Brachioplasty! I’m happy with my results, and what makes it so much better that no matter how far of a distance you live, he will respond to your questions, concerns via email or phone immediately, which put me at ease! Or his staff will contact you, Belinda has been in the field for 5 years and she as well has put my mind at ease when I have concerns. Thank you Belinda for always listening to me :). He is a doctor who is busy but what stands out about him is that he makes sure his patients are his priority. I also want to say that I appreciate Dr. Katzen for waiting for me to see me past 5:00pm yesterday since my flight got delayed 3 hours! Thank you so much! I believe a client should also take into consideration a doctors bedside manner when picking out a surgeon. I am so glad I chose Dr. Katzen to do all my procedures!"
"Dr. Katzen removed not one, but two very persistent Plantar warts from my foot. The first was easily removed with a laser, but then, unfortunately, another one bloomed a month later. This one was more stubborn, requiring multiple laser treatments and freezing. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Katzen was patient, thorough and professional. My foot is now free of any warts and I can walk without any discomfort. Thank you, Dr. Katzen! I am adding to this review as Dr. Katzen performed liposuction on my abdominal area as well as my back and chin. I am happy to say that after a year, I am still loving my new body. I can wear a bikini again!"
"Dr. Katzen is a great surgeon and his staff are amazing as well. Dr. Katzen did vaser liposuction on me and the outcome is fantastic. Dr. Katzen is so precise and is a perfectionist. He takes great pride in his work and reputation."

"VASER HI DEF LIPO OF ABDOMEN Helped Me Land More Acting Jobs. - Let's face it. We live in a society where people judge our looks. I happen to be an actor who is getting started in the industry. I needed to fit a certain mold to land the jobs. I have no shame going to Dr. Katzen to enhance my looks. Dr. Katzen did a VASER HI DEF liposuction on my abdomen and the results are unbelievable. He gave me the look of a six-pack abdomen. I feel more confident about myself and I don't think it's coincidence that I am landing more jobs."

I got liposuction on my stomach and a Brachioplasty! I’m happy with my results, and what makes it so much better that no matter how far of a distance you live, he will respond to your questions, concerns via email or phone immediately, which put me at ease! Or his staff will contact you, Belinda has been in the field for 5 years and she as well has put my mind at ease when I have concerns. Thank you Belinda for always listening to me :). He is a doctor who is busy but what stands out about him is that he makes sure his patients are his priority. I also want to say that I appreciate Dr. Katzen for waiting for me to see me past 5:00pm yesterday since my flight got delayed 3 hours! Thank you so much! I believe a client should also take into consideration a doctors bedside manner when picking out a surgeon. I am so glad I chose Dr. Katzen to do all my procedures!"
"Amazing Surgeon! - I got two procedures done with Dr. Katzen! I got liposuction on my stomach and a Brachioplasty two months ago! I’m loving my results and I thank him for listening to me and being 100 percent honest with me all the way! He is very caring and patient, even though the waiting room might be full of people waiting to see him, he does takes his time to answer your questions / concerns! I live in Oakland, Ca and at first I was a little skeptical about doing such procedure due to distance but honestly it has been smooth! He responds so quickly via email or telephone NO MATTER what day it is! So if you are considering doing a procedure out of state, you are in good hands! His staff is so welcoming and very accommodating. More importantly for clients who are only fluent in Spanish and want to get this procedure, he has staff who are bilingual and the doctor will also try his best to speak it! Thank you Dr. Katzen, I appreciate you!!!"
"I Feel Good in my New Body. - Who doesn't want to look good? I am a proud owner of a newly built six-pack abdomen. Dr. Katzen did VASER hi-def liposuction of the abdomen on me and it looks so fabulous! I have no problem showing off his work at the beach and pool. I feel good in my new body!"
"I am a young female actor trying my best to make it in the industry. I’ve gotten a few small roles here and there but I’d like to land bigger jobs. I know my image is everything so I decided to get abdomen liposuction and breast implants. I searched “Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon” and was overwhelmed with all the options that popped up. I carefully researched the surgeons and felt completely comfortable with Dr. J. Timothy Katzen. What’s great about Dr. Katzen is, he shares tons of videos of the procedures he performs on his website, social media and Real Self. He also shares many stories of his post op patients saying how happy they are with him. I belong to his “happy patient” club now too. I hope my new body and new found confidence will help me in my career path."
"I just needed a little liposuction in the abdomen. I had surgery with Dr. Katzen in the past and returned to him. He’s pretty amazing both in the operating room and out. Being a return patient, I can recommend Dr. Timothy Katzen highly."
"What I love the most about going to Dr. Katzen for surgery is the top notch care and attention that I got. He listens to what I want and recommends a great customized plan for my body. I had vaser hi def liposuction in my arms and abdomen. I got exactly what I wished for. Dr. Katzen has amazing eyes and hands to do what he does."
"I am "normal size" based on my height and weight but my tummy area seemed disproportionate. It sticks out a bit more than I would like. I searched for a doctor close by to make things easier for me, I didn't want to inconvenience anyone to take care of me. Dr. Katzen came up on my search and I could not be happier that his patients love him and his results are great. I had liposuction in my abdomen and after the swelling went down, it looks so amazing. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good plastic surgeon."
"As I age, my metabolism is not the same as it was. I have some fat deposits that needed to be gone forever. Dr. Katzen is my surgeon of choice. I’ve been to other plastic surgeons, and in my experience, he is the BEST! He speaks in terms you can understand and has amazing bedside manners. I’ve read many reviews about him and I can tell you it’s true. He’s very caring with his patients. His staff and OR crew all have wonderful things to say about him, which speaks volumes. I had liposuction of abdomen. I experienced swelling after surgery, which was normal. Now that I am fully recovered, I am filling my closet with new fun clothes. I am in love with my new body. Thank you Dr. Katzen from the bottom of my heart."
"Top Notch Care by Dr. Katzen - What I love the most about going to Dr. Katzen for surgery is the top notch care and attention that I got. He listens to what I want and recommends a great customized plan for my body. I had vaser hi def liposuction in my arms and abdomen. I got exactly what I wished for. Dr. Katzen has amazing eyes and hands to do what he does."
"Abdomen - Vaser Hi Def liposuction - As a young male, I wanted a toned, sleek body. A buddy of mine went to Dr. Katzen to have a vaser hi def liposuction sculpting procedure on his abdomen. It looks good, so I asked him a ton of questions about it. I went through the same procedure myself and the results are just as great as my buddy's result. Dr. Katzen is talented and gifted. He does amazing things to people's bodies, things that are unbelievable. I am so confident in my body now and very happy with the way I look."
"Liposuction of the Abdomen. - My review today is for liposuction of the abdomen. I had a thigh lift with Dr. Katzen a few years back, very happy with everything. I just wanted some stubborn fat sucked out of my abdomen area. Hopefully, this was the last surgery I will ever have, but if I need more plastic surgery, you bet I will be returning to Dr. Katzen. Dr. Katzen does have a large percentage of “return patients”, like me. It’s because we fully trust him."
"Love my New Look After VASER Lipo of Arms and Abdomen. - With the help of VASER Liposuction and Dr. Timothy Katzen’s skillful hands, I am the proud owner of a beautiful muscular-look body. I had VASER liposuction on my arms and my abdomen. I look amazing in a two-piece bathing suit and my cropped tops. I am proud to show off Dr. Katzen’s work. I already sent two of my best friends to him."
"Dr. Katzen removed not one, but two very persistent Plantar warts from my foot. The first was easily removed with a laser, but then, unfortunately, another one bloomed a month later. This one was more stubborn, requiring multiple laser treatments and freezing. Throughout the whole process, Dr. Katzen was patient, thorough and professional. My foot is now free of any warts and I can walk without any discomfort. Thank you, Dr. Katzen!I am adding to this review as Dr. Katzen performed liposuction on my abdominal area as well as my back and chin. I am happy to say that after a year, I am still loving my new body. I can wear a bikini again!"
"Instant 6 Pack Abs with Vaser Hi Def Liposuction - I heard about the Vaser Hi Def Abdomen through a co worker who had his done. I looked into it for myself and glad I went for it. Dr. Katzen uses a Vaser Liposuction technique and gave me an instant 6 pack abdomen. I mean it looks really really good, as if I've worked out my whole life. I used to be shy about taking off my shirt in public, but not anymore. I enjoy weekend hikes and have no problems taking my shirt off to cool off. It's given me a nice physique along with added confidence."
"Great Vaser Hi Def 6 Pack Abs Results - I am a 26 year old male who wants to have a strong, defined, 6 pack abs. I work too much and I don’t have time to spend in the gym to achieve the look I desired. I heard about VASER Hi-Def Liposuction to achieve 6 pack muscles. There are only a few doctors who do this in my area. I chose to schedule two appointments and ultimately chose Dr. Katzen. Very glad I did. Dr. Katzen delivered the results I wanted."
"VASER Liposuction - I love posting about my travels on social media. Most comments are positive but every so often I get negative comments about my appearance (especially bikini photos on a beach or pool). Boy, people can be mean. I decided to get a VASER HI DEF liposuction to sculpt and define my abs. I absolutely cannot believe how amazing my abs look."
"A Long Time Patient of Dr. Timothy Katzen - I am a long time patient of Dr. Timothy Katzen. After my gastric bypass procedure, I went to him for a full body transformation. I had the circumferential body lift, liposuction, breast aug and lift, vertical torsoplasty, arm lift, and thigh lift. Recently I returned to Dr. Katzen to have my upper and lower eyelids done. I am super impressed with all he has done for me. Forever grateful!!!!!"
"Full Trust in Dr. Katzen to Reconstruct my Body. - After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, I lost 114 lbs. I had saggy skin pretty much all over. I had stages of surgeries with Dr. Katzen. So far, I’ve had the circumferential body lift, liposuction of thighs, medial thigh lift, brachioplasty, mastopexy, breast aug, torsoplasty and botox (yes, I noticed more wrinkles on my face after weight loss). Between all the surgeries, Dr. Katzen removed a total of 16 lbs of extra skin. I had full trust in Dr. Katzen to reconstruct my body. He is amazing both surgically and emotionally. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon."
"Image is everything in my career. - I am a young female actor trying my best to make it in the industry. I’ve gotten a few small roles here and there but I’d like to land bigger jobs. I know my image is everything so I decided to get abdomen liposuction and breast implants. I searched “Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon” and was overwhelmed with all the options that popped up.

"Dr. Katzen is Amazing Both in and out of the Operating Room. - I just needed a little liposuction in the abdomen. I had surgery with Dr. Katzen in the past and returned to him. He’s pretty amazing both in the operating room and out. Being a return patient, I can recommend Dr. Timothy Katzen highly."
"I am someone who was in need of excess skin removal due to massive weight loss. I went from my highest weight of 385 to a low of 160. I took a very long time researching various practices so I could be sure to have the best surgeon for the job. Dr. Katzen specializes in this type of surgery, and after consulting with others who claimed to be the best, I found Dr. Katzen to be the absolute authority. He is a class act all the way! His skill and technique are clearly evident. Please visit his YouTube channel and you will see for yourself. He has several educational videos straight from the operating room. My experience with him from day one was exceptional. He listened to my concerns patiently in spite of a full waiting room. He is humble and soft spoken, and has true compassion for his patients. I had a full 360 body lift, with a medial thigh lift and liposuction a week ago, and this has been such a good experience. I would recommend him to anyone. This man deserves the highest of honors."

"Highly Recommend Dr. Katzen for VASER Liposuction of Abdomen and Arms - What a difference a VASER Hi Def Liposuction of the abdomen and arms make. My entire image is so different after surgery. I look stronger, my body looks defined, muscular, toned and fit. Dr. Katzen knows exactly what he is doing with that VASER machine. I highly recommend him if you are looking for VASER liposuction treatment."
"Neck Liposuction by Timothy Katzen, MD (Beverly Hills, CA) - My neck gave me major insecurities. I booked a free consultation with Dr. Katzen’s office to see what my options were. I was amazingly surprised when Dr. Katzen said he could take care of my problem by neck liposuction. He showed me some pictures of his patients who underwent the same procedure and I was blown away by the results. What I love about Dr. Katzen is, he didn’t try to sell me more procedures than what I needed. I told him what bothered me and he came up with a plan and solution. My neck looks amazing all thanks to Dr. Katzen."
"Highly Recommend Dr. Katzen - I am "normal size" based on my height and weight but my tummy area seemed disproportionate. It sticks out a bit more than I would like.

"Male VASER Hi-Def Liposuction of Abs, Beverly Hills, CA - My abdomen had some stubborn fat that I couldn't get rid of in the gym. I didn't have much fat but I needed some help. When I came to Dr. Katzen, I was planning on nothing more than liposuction in the abdomen. Little did I know about VASER Hi-Def Liposuction of the Abs, until I saw before and after pictures in his office that intrigued me. Dr. Katzen explained what it was and I had to have it. My abdomen is now flat and very well defined. Dr. Katzen is a great sculptor, very happy with my results."
"Many Compliments After Abdomen Lipo - As I age, my metabolism is not the same as it was. I have some fat deposits that needed to be gone forever. Dr. Katzen is my surgeon of choice. I’ve been to other plastic surgeons, and in my experience, he is the BEST! He speaks in terms you can understand and has amazing bedside manners.

"VASER Hi-Def Looks Awesome! - Dr. Katzen is one of the few surgeons who specialize in VASER Hi-Def Liposuction of the Abdomen. I asked to see some before and after photos of his patients and he delivered some impressive shots. There was a young lady that had a similar body type as mine and loved her results. I asked Dr. Katzen to sculpt mine the same way and he did. I love my new sculpted abdomen. It looks very well..."

"Love Dr. Katzen! I had Neck Liposuction. - I had gastric bypass surgery November 2015. After weight loss, I went to Dr. Katzen for the works: body lift, thigh lift, arm lift and breast augmentation. The last thing that still bothered me was my neck. I thought I would need a neck lift but Dr. Katzen said he can do liposuction instead. Wow, I cannot believe how great my neck looks. Dr. Katzen is amazing. He completely transformed my entire body. Thank you so much Dr. Katzen!!!!!"
"I highly recommend Dr. Timothy Katzen - There’s a plastic surgeon in every corner in Beverly Hills which made it hard to pick one. Many of them have great reputations and have been featured on tv. My friend who is in the entertainment business referred me to Dr. Katzen. I found him very professional and produces great results. His prices are very reasonable, much less than what I expected. I had breast augmentation and liposuction in the abdomen. I love my results. I highly recommend Dr. Katzen to anyone that needs plastic surgery."
"Vaser Hi Def 6 pack liposculpting - My sister had surgery with Dr. Katzen two years ago and had a very positive experience with him. I’ve been considering the Vaser Hi-Def 6 pack liposculpting procedure for my abdomen and wouldn’t trust anyone else to do the procedure but Dr. Katzen. The procedure took a little longer than an hour with three tiny incisions where the liposuction ports were inserted. The results are incredible with short recovery time."
"As a physician, medical expertise is important. As a patient, bedside manner is equally important. I was as nervous as anyone else would be deciding to have cosmetic surgery, especially after going back and forth on my decision to actually have two procedures done at the same time for almost 10 years. Though the post-op process wasn’t always easy, especially for someone who isn’t used to sitting still, Dr. Katzen eased my concerns after each post-op appointment. Now that it’s almost three months later, I absolutely love the results of my breast augmentation and VASER liposuction. He gave me abs and I looooooove it! His staff were also top notch and very helpful through my entire journey."
"After losing 141 pounds, I found my life is not the same. Since weight loss, I got a better job, better self esteem and became healthier. I worked out 3-5 times a week and made better food choices. With the changes I made, I still had excess sagging skin. I started my journey with Dr. Katzen and had a 360 body lift and staged liposuction in my legs. After 4 months, I returned and had a thigh lift. Then, 5 months later, I had brachioplasty and arm lift. Dr. Katzen has been so wonderful from the first surgery to my most recent one. He is a true artist that sculpted my body into what it is today. I trusted him and I trusted all the recommendations that he gave me. I felt very comfortable with him. He’s very well known in the weight loss groups. If you’ve lost a significant amount of weight like I did, go check out Dr. Katzen. He offers free consultations in his offices. He’s an expert at treating patients like us. I look and feel oh so good!"

"I had a very good experience with Dr. Katzen and his staff. I came in for liposuction of my abdomen. I had a stubborn fat pocket in my tummy area that I could not get rid of. Thank goodness a short trip to the operating room resolved it. Very happy Dr. Katzen took care of me and my stubborn fat. He's genuinely one of a kind."

"Didn’t need a neck lift, just lipo and it looks great. - I’ve always hated my double neck. I saved up over the years to finally get it taken cared of. I actually went into consultation thinking I was going to need a neck lift but Dr. Katzen said he can solve my problem with just neck liposuction. I was so pleased to hear that.I had my procedure done 3 months ago and I love the results so far. I am blown away with how great it looks already."

"42 year old, Liposuction of Abdomen - I just turned 42 years old. This year’s birthday gift to myself is liposuction of my abdomen.

He's genuinely one of a kind."
"37 year old- Liposuction of Abdomen - I don’t have a whole lot of fat in my abdomen, just enough to bother me. I’m self conscience with how I look and I can’t get rid of this feeling I get when I see my abdomen. I contacted Dr. Katzen’s office after seeing great reviews from his patients. He performed liposuction in the abdomen region. I am very happy with my results!"
"Great doctor! great consultation! He listened to MY concerns about what i wanted liposuction out of. Each step was given to me and everything went smoothly. Thanks DR KATZEN! -petey"
"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 :)"

"Unfortunately, the plantar's wart was incredibly persistent. As I'd signed up for surgery with Dr. Katzen that required I undergo general anesthesia, he removed the plantar's wart surgically. It is now completely gone. Yay! I also had liposuction performed by Dr. Katzen. So far, so good. My clothes fit so much better and I can wear a bikini again."
"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."

"Body Lift and Liposuction of Legs - I lost a massive amount of weight through weight loss surgery and was left with a lot of excessive skin. I had a body lift and staged liposuction of my thighs. I will be having a thigh lift in the near future. My biggest fear was pain, but Dr. Katzen did a great job managing my pain during recovery. I was impressed how he was great at following up with me. He returned all my calls within..."
"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 ..."
"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.????????????"
"Liposuction of Abdomen After Having Two Wonderful Kids. - Beverly Hills, CA - I’ve always been an average fit person, never been considered overweight. In my twenties, I pretty ate whatever I wanted and was quite active. When I hit my 30’s, things started changing. I got married and had two wonderful kids. I ended up with this stubborn belly fat that was so hard to get rid of. I wanted my old body back! I decided to have liposuction of the abdomen. I am so happy I did. I don’t have to wear my oversized shirts to cover up my belly anymore. Dr. Katzen did an amazing job!"
"Down 2 Pant Sizes After 360 Circumferential Body Lift, So Thrilled! Beverly Hills, CA - I was always a chubby kid growing up and was obese for most of my adult years. My heaviest was close to 500 lbs. I knew I needed help so I had gastric bypass and lost over 280 lbs. After losing weight, I still didn’t feel complete due to all the sagging and excess skin. After extensive research, consulting with 8 surgeons, I knew Dr. Katzen was the best choice.I underwent a 360 circumferential body lift and liposuction on my legs. He removed 29 lbs of excess skin and fat and an additional 12 lbs from the liposuction in my legs. What a difference it has made in the way my clothes fit. I’ve gone down 2 pant sizes. I am so thankful for my new body and more importantly, I feel normal. I look forward to coming back to Dr. Katzen to have him do two more surgeries on me. I trust him with my life and appreciate how he’s transformed me so far. I am absolutely loving life!"
"All my life, I was morbidly obese and had literally tried everything to lose weight but was never successful long term. Finally, I was looking at being wheel chair bound because my feet could no longer hold my weight. In desperation, at the weight of 334 lbs, I had stomach stapling and thus my whole life changed.I lost 110 lbs and was indeed smaller but left with an enormous sagging apron of fat around my waist, severe stretch marks on my abdomen and multiple unsightly, old, and long, well healed surgical scars. My thighs remained large, flabby and out of proportion to my lower legs. I had lost weight, was remarkably healthier but looked even worse than before.I then met Dr. Katzen and had the lower body lift and liposuction. Twenty seven pounds of skin and fat were removed, along with my old scars. I had a new body. I had never imagined that kind of "instant" weight loss and as thrilled as I was, it was also disturbing to my body image. All of a sudden, I had no huge stomach, my clothes hung well and no longer did I have to wear shirts on the outside to hide my belly. It took a while to absorb the change.Dr. Katzen and his entire office staff were supportive, up beat, ALWAYS professional and caring. I was never made to wait or feel rushed.I am very please with my results."
"I had bariatric surgery and lost 125 lbs. I was so excited to have lost this much weight but so disappointed that my weight loss had a great deal of residual hanging skin. I had to wear loose blouses and pants to hide all the skin that was left over from losing weight so quickly. I attended a seminar and had a consultation with Dr. Katzen the same day.I had my first surgery exactly one year after my gastric bypass. I had a circumferential body lift and a medial thigh lift. My second surgery was a breast lift, and quite a bit of liposuction. Three weeks ago I had a TCA peel on my face and I am hoping to have another peel or some laser treatment.My experience with Dr. Katzen has always been very positive. I knew when I first consulted with him that I had met the surgeon I had been looking for. First of all, he has the proper credentials I was looking for.Dr. Katzen specializes in post op bariatric surgery patients and sculpturing the patient’s body while removing all the hanging skin. My only concern was my age since I am almost 64 but he said no problem as long as I was healthy. I asked if I was his oldest patient and he quickly replied no, his oldest patient was in his 70’s!I think you gain a lot of confidence just by going into his exam rooms. Each room is filled with diplomas and certificates on all the walls. Aside from all this, Dr. Katzen has a very gentle spirit and is a good listener. Do not be timid in asking him anything that may be bothering you because he always has the right answer. He genuinely cares about each patient and he makes you feel like you are the only one he has but then we all know how busy he is. He is always available to his patients. His staff is very competent and professional. They will get you the answer you need very quickly. I now can ride my bike for 6-7 miles and not even feel tired. I swim daily, I lift my grandchildren up in my arms. My husband and I have always wanted to take scuba diving lessons but I refused to get into a wet suit. Now I have nothing to hold me back. I believe that God has blessed Dr. Katzen with amazing talent and I am so very thankful that I was lead to find him.So I say to him again, muchas gracias Dr. Katzen."

"Like many of Dr. Katzen's patients, I had been overweight my entire life. My Gastric Bypass surgery was a life saver for me. I am in wonderful health after losing 170 pounds but I was still embarrassed about how I looked with the excess skin. In considering the choice of a Plastic Surgeon, I was very impressed with Dr. Katzen's expertise. I wanted a surgeon who works with people like me, not someone who is making movie stars! Dr. Katzen and his staff are the best. While my journey is not yet complete, I'm happy with the results of my first surgery. I had a circunferential body lift and liposuction on my thighs. I have a flat stomach for the first time in my life. I am so grateful for Dr. Katzen and his staff. Everyone has been wonderfully caring, compassionate, responsive and helpful."
"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."

"My name is Jacki and I had the RNY gastric bypass 4.5 years ago. I went from 365lbs. down to 230lbs. Even though I was so happy with my results, nothing prepared me for how much excess skin, fat, and tissue I would still have. I was heartbroken because I had done all of this hard work to lose weight and feel normal, yet I still got stares; now they weren't from being morbidly obese, but because I had all of this unattractive hanging skin.About 2.5 years ago I started to do my research and came across Dr.Katzen as one of my prospect surgeons. I had my consult and to be honest, he was nothing as I had imagined. Most doctors (especially in the Beverly Hills area) are all about the money. Dr.Katzen is not only one of kindest doctors I have met, but his artistic skills are impecable. Then, to make things even better, I got to see his work shine on TLC's The Real Skinny. Right then and there, I knew Dr.Katzen was the only surgeon I would trust my body with.I have had multiple surgeries with Dr.Katzen that was staged into 3 different surgeries. I had a 360 body lift with staged liposuction of the medial thighs. An arm lift with a horizontal torsoplasty and the final surgery was a medial thigh lift. Dr.Katzen had amazing bedside manner and was very patient with me throughout the entire journey."

On September 9, 2013 I had a 360 Body Lift and staged liposuction of the thighs, which removed a whooping total of 50lbs! Dr.Katzen was patient with me and answered any and all questions that I had. I had such an amazing experience with him. It has been a huge honor and I can not imagine finishing up my journey with anyone else than Dr. J. Timothy Katzen (I plan to still do a medial thigh lift, arms, breasts, and torsoplasty)!"
