Changed my Life
At my highest weight, I was over 800 pounds, and part of my journey was documented on a TLC show. After having gastric sleeve surgery and losing weight, I knew I wanted to do something about my excess skin. But I was scared. This was a big decision, and I needed to find the right surgeon before I felt ready to move forward. From the first moment I spoke with Dr. Katzen and his staff, I knew they were the right fit for me. There wasn’t a single hesitation when answering my questions,

More Than a Transformation — A New Life
I will forever be grateful to Dr. Katzen and his amazing team for the incredible care and support they gave me before and after surgery. Every procedure was explained clearly, and throughout the entire journey I was treated with kindness, compassion, and like part of the family. Dr. Katzen truly changed my life. I went into this journey hoping to feel “normal” again, but he gave me so much more than that — he helped me feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful in my own skin.

Love my Body, AGAIN!!
As I was reaching my 60th birthday last year, I couldn’t stop thinking about having plastic surgery and having a tummy tuck and breast lift. I had thought about it for the last couple years and thought “am I too old for this , did I wait too long?” Well I decided to go for it and I’m so ecstatic that I did! I had an extended tummy tuck along with a breast lift, no implants. It’s the best decision I made. I got to go on a shopping spree this month and buy new clothes and new bras!

I'm BLOWN AWAY by my Results....
(see 10 photos below) After losing about 250 pounds from a starting weight of over 400, I hit a new challenge I honestly didn’t expect to struggle with so much... loose skin. Clothes didn’t fit right, exercise didn't feel good, and I honestly still felt FAT, despite having a healthy BMI... Ugh. I started looking into surgeons who really understood working with people after massive weight loss. I was willing to fly anywhere in the USA to get it done. I spent weeks going through

Hands Down the Best With Silicone Removal
I first received silicone injections in 1997. In 1999 I started administering injections myself ignorant to the complications and dangers that silicone injections would cause later. The complications for me started in 2012. After serving time in prison for illegal injections, I started researching Doctors to begin my removal process. My initial thought was to go out the country but many Drs will not remove up to 95% of the product and I felt I needed to stay in the states in

I Had a Wonderful Experience
I had a wonderful experience from start to finish with Dr. Katzen. I had fat transfer to my hands and VASER arm liposuction, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Katzen is extremely warm, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. His bedside manner is outstanding—he’s kind, authentic, and makes you feel comfortable every step of the way. His office staff is also amazing. They are responsive, caring, and answered every question I had right away, which gave me such peace

Truly Exceptional Experience
5/5 – Truly Exceptional Experience! I recently had a breast lift with high definition liposuction performed by Dr. Katzen, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the very first consultation to my final follow-up, Dr. Katzen,and the entire team provided outstanding care, professionalism, and attention to detail. Dr.Katzen is a true artist and expert in body contouring. The breast lift gave me a beautifully natural, youthful shape that perfectly complements my figure.
