I am a 24 year old male who weighed close to 500 pounds and lost nearly half my body weight. My excess sagging skin made daily task very uncomfortable to do. I felt like people starred at me all the time. I suffered with how my body looked. I found Dr. Katzen and felt confident in his work right away. I had a body lift and male breast reduction.
First thing I noticed is my clothes fit so nicely now. Working out does not feel strange with all the bouncing skin. Daily task feels normal and I feel normal. I'm very happy I had the surgery with Dr. Katzen.
I lost 110 lbs after Lap Band. I convinced myself I didn't really NEED reconstructive surgery until one of my friends did it. My friend went to Dr. Katzen for a body lift after her weight loss and I was overcome how great she looked. Now, I was convinced I NEEDED a body lift.
When I first consulted with Dr. Katzen, I felt a sense of security and comfort. He's treated so many weight loss patients like myself. I didn't hesitate to book my surgery that day.
My body lift went well, I followed Dr. Katzen's orders to the T. Twelve pounds was removed from my abdomen. I am beyond grateful for Dr. Katzen.
Growing up, I got called thunder thighs and often cried about it. In my adult years, I was morbidly obese and lost 145 pounds.
I found Dr. Katzen after consulting with 2 other surgeons. My decision was made at the first visit with him. He's performed a lot of thigh lifts and has a great understanding of weight loss patients. My choice to go with Dr. Katzen was based on his experience and just how kind and compassionate he is.
Dr. Katzen performed a medial thigh lift on me. I am thrilled my thighs no longer rub together.
I no longer suffer from neck pain, back pain or shoulder pain, thanks to Dr. Katzen. Most of friends who had weight loss surgery complained they lost volume in their breasts as they lost weight, but not me. My breast were still very large and caused me so much pain. I put off having a breast reduction until I found out how easy it was to get approved for Care Credit. I am very pleased with my how my breasts turned out.
I went through major weight loss but was left with really bad saggy arms. I've never owned a tank top or a normal short sleeved shirt. My closet was full of long sleeves or 3/4 sleeved shirts. I enlisted the help from Dr. Katzen for an arm lift. He's done hundreds of arm lifts for people just like me. He's very careful where to place the incision and the types of sutures he uses. I am amazed how great my arms look. I am slowly but surely buying new tops to fill my closet.
I had bariatric surgery and lost 97 lbs. I went to Dr. Katzen for an extended tummy tuck. He and his staff are very respectful and caring. They made sure my questions and concerns were addressed, didn't make me feel stupid for asking too many questions. Dr. Katzen did a phenomenal job on my tummy tuck. It's flat, has an hour glass shape and it's beautiful.
Growing up, I was always the "chunky" kid. Sadly, I never outgrew it. As a middle aged woman, my doctor classified me as morbidly obese and I was plagued with health problems. My doctor suggested I seek weight loss surgery, which I did, and lost 160 lbs. Surgery worked, I got off most of my meds. Things should be looking up but I now face new problems with saggy skin. I called my bariatric surgeon to ask for a referral and he highly recommended Dr. Katzen.
I consulted with Dr. Katzen and he put me at ease. He understood my struggles and the problems I was going through. He's very humble and compassionate. In the last 9 months, I've had the following surgeries with Dr. Katzen: body lift, thigh lift, breast lift and brachioplasty. He reconstructed my whole body and created a normal and beautiful body for me. Dr. Katzen is my hero.
Beverly Hills has plastic surgeons' offices on every block. While researching, I found that many of them are on television, and for the most part, seemed like high quality surgeons. One of my closest friends referred Dr. Katzen to me. I had a consultation and found his prices to be fair and he is a great surgeon. I booked to have breast implants and some lipo in my abdomen. My results are incredible. I give Dr. Katzen 5 stars!!!
I am a proud patient of Dr. Katzen's. I had weight loss surgery then had a body lift and arm lift. I found Dr. Katzen and felt like I can trust him with my surgeries and my life. He and his staff are supportive throughout the process. Dr. Katzen is an artist and molded my body perfectly. I feel beautiful!
