The 360 body lift is a highly customizable procedure, which can be adapted to meet each patient’s specific needs and aesthetic goals. The procedure can be performed utilizing one of three different incisions, either along the lower abdomen, over the hips, or around the back. During the circumferential body lift surgery, Dr. Katzen will tighten the muscles around the midsection (abdomen, buttock, and outer leg area), and will then remove excess fat and skin, resulting in a more toned and smooth body shape. In addition to tightening the midsection, the 360 body lift can be utilized to remove saddle bags and love handles, and to lift the thighs and buttocks.

Body Contouring

Proper diet and regular exercise are essential to good health. They also keep us fit and toned. Aesthetically speaking, though, taking care of ourselves doesn’t always provide the results we want. Fat deposits, which are often genetic, can result in “problem areas” that appear disproportionate to the rest of the figure. Liposuction effectively treats and corrects the fatty deposits that remain despite our best efforts. Many seek out the best liposuction in Beverly Hills CA and Las Vegas NV for a slimmer, more sculpted look. Contact us today and find out about it.

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 of mind throughout the process. Dr. Katzen did an absolutely beautiful job on my arms and hands. I finally feel confident wearing short sleeves again! There are very few surgeons who can achieve this level of precision and artistry with VASER arm sculpting, and I’m truly amazed by his work. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Katzen to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. He is one of the best!

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. The high definition liposuction was equally impressive — it sculpted my body in a way I didn't think was possible, enhancing my natural curves and revealing muscle tone I never thought I had! What I appreciated most was how thorough and honest Dr.Katzen was during every step of the process. They took the time to understand my goals, set realistic expectations, and ensured I felt comfortable and informed throughout. Recovery was smooth, and the post-op care was top-notch. If you're considering aesthetic surgery and want results that look refined, natural, and tailored to your body, I highly recommend Dr. Katzen.This experience has been truly life-changing.

Best Choice Ive Made!

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Katzen and his entire team. After years of researching and a year-long communication with his office, I chose Dr. Katzen for my surgery, and it was the best decision I could have made. His bedside manner is unparalleled; he was always available to answer my questions and ensured I felt comfortable throughout the process. The initial 10-day recovery near his office was seamless, thanks to the amazing nursing team they recommended. Even after returning home to Las Vegas, they checked on me daily, and at 8 weeks post-op, Dr. Katzen personally removed the last of my drains. The results are outstanding—my scar is minimal, and I feel amazing. Since having the silicone removed, I’ve experienced increased mood, clarity, and no more fatigue; the numbness in my leg has also disappeared. I chose to do the open technique and I added mid section lipo. I am 100% confident I made the right choice with Dr. Katzen and his team. Thank you so much, Dr. Katzen!

Tummy Tuck

Amazing Surgeon Who Really Cares!

Dr Katzen and his staff are amazing! From my first consult through all of my post surgery appointments, everyone was incredibly kind. Dr Katzen is truly amazing at what he does, and genuinely cares about his patients. He gave me a great tummy tuck after I had lost almost 100lbs, and I am very happy with my results. When I had a minor complication, he and his lovely staff were incredible, and regularly followed up with me to make sure everything was ok. I moved out of state and he and his staff still called and emailed frequently to check on my recovery. I can’t thank him and his staff enough for their care! If you decide to go with Dr Katzen for your procedure, you won’t regret it!

360 Lower Body Lift - Best Plastic Surgeon! Very Best Experience!

I can’t tell you how lucky I feel to have found this doctor for my plastic surgery after losing 178 pounds. Not only do I look phenomenal, but the process was more less daunting than I anticipated. The doctor is always available and his team is super responsive. I researched plastic surgeons and it paid off. I got the best and I hope if you’re considering any plastic surgery you visit Dr Katzen‘s website. He’s not only extremely knowledgeable, but with such a tremendous bedside manner and his team reflect his leadership. I had a 360 lower body lift and a crescent, high lift and an arm lift And he schedule them all for me so I could leave for home the UK soon sooner than I thought. Feel super fortunate to have found him and I know you will too.

Best Doctor in the Country for Biopolymer/Silicone Removal

I had surgery with Dr. Katzen in November. It’s about to be three months. I could not be happier. Dr Katzen and his staff are godsent. I had biopolymers for 14 years with significant migration to the groin and down the legs. Dr Katzen removed 92% of the product. In my case, 95% of it was in the fatty tissue. I no longer have any symptoms. No itching, no warmth in the area, no discomfort when sitting or wearing certain clothes. I stayed in LA for three weeks although he requires 10 days. I wanted to be there until at least two of the drains were removed, but you are safe going home with them. When the drain output is low enough at home, Dr. K will be on Facetime with you instructing you(family member) on how to take them out. I had 4 drains in total, one in each buttock and one in each leg. The day before flying home, we were able to have the two on the left side taken out. I didn’t stay at an aftercare, they said it wasn’t necessary for this procedure. I took my husband and my parents with me and even them three were hands full. You will need at least one person with you all the time. You will have a bladder catherer, you will have drains for 3+ weeks, you will generally be facing down the whole time for around 4 weeks, at around 2 weeks he will tell you that you can start going on your sides a little bit. You won’t be allowed to shower until drains are removed and incisions are fully closed, in my case a month. But all of this will be worth it because you will have healthy glutes, healthy body overall and healthy mind. Your immune system will thank you. If you need to get this surgery done, Dr Katzen is your best choice, he has more than 15 years experience doing this procedure. After surgery, he and his staff will be a phone call away the whole time.

This is the Best Doctor in LA!! I Promise You Will Not Regret

Dr. Katzen really cares about his patient's wellbeing and really does the best he can to give you the best results possible. His whole team is amazing and so sweet and are always there to answer any questions you may have (pre/post-surgery). Dr. Katzen is truly present (and does the best he can to break down procedures so you can understand) with his patents and is also so helpful post-surgery on how to properly clean the wounds etc. I am post-op almost 2 months and I am healing amazing and are guided by a whole team (POP RECOVERY) who is supporting me in so many ways (mental health, wound specialist, recovery coach, nutritionist, etc.). I Love Dr. Katzen and are so greatful I found his talent; this man truly changes lives.

Masculinizing Top Surgery

Life Saving Top Surgery

I had a gender affirming surgery with Dr Katzen in November 2023, a year later & I’m still so happy with my results. Dr. Katzen helped talk me through & understand the different procedures I could have done to have my breasts removed & have a flat & more masculine chest. Dr Katzen & his staff are all so kind & very professional. They always made me feel welcome & took great care of me. My life has changed drastically since my visit, Dr. Katzen’s work has made me feel more confident & the most me I’ve ever felt. I would highly recommend Dr. Katzen

Silicone Injection Removal

Siloxane

Removed Silicone a Different Doctor Placed Without Me Knowing

If you are here because a doctor in Miami promised you a larger penis and scrotum size with a “secret formula” then let me tell you about my journey: what this formula ended up being was silicone, which is not FDA approved. Not only the procedure was painful but also expensive; after 12+ months of after care, it became just an array of infections and complications. Some days I could barely walk because of the swelling. The scrotum would swell the size of a melon and it would be impossible sometimes to even put on pants without immense embarrassment. Two years of this ordeal that affected my work, every day life, and relationship (intimacy was almost non-existent). After coming back to the original doctor to get it fixed, the approach by him was the same: prescribe strong antibiotics and corticosteroids which would work for the time I was taking them and after they ran its course, it would go back to the same repetition of infection and discomfort. Knowing he wouldn’t be able to fix the mess he made, I started to look for doctors that could fix this. Then I found Dr Katzen’s video on YouTube where he removes silicone from a patient penis. I still did a consult with the other two doctors but Dr Katzen standout immediately. I have worked in healthcare for 13 years and his approach, bedside manners, and sincere concern was outstanding. He listened, he was clear about his plan to fix it, about the post-care, there was no doubt after my consult that he was legitimate. Not only is he more than qualified, I wanted transparency and this is what I found in him. This was not an alone effort either, the staff at his office is so remarkable I could write a different review about them. Thank you Anna, Jessica, and Ariel. You treated me like a human being, you were also caring, helped us to get all the paperwork together, worked with our schedules since I am in the East coast, even when we returned home, they checked if we had made it home ok. That is going the extra mile, and I will forever be thankful for making me feel human again after I thought my situation was a lost cause.
