I recently had a thigh lift ( vertical incision down to knee) with Dr. Katzen and wanted to share my fantastic experience so that anyone who is contemplating getting this surgery done and is looking for a doctor, can stop looking and researching, and book a consultation with Dr. Katzen. He is a master when it comes to this type of surgery.
I'm 50 years old and while I have always taken care of myself and felt I looked good in clothing,  I started developing very lax skin on my thighs. I'm not sure if this was genetic, hormonal or a combo of both....but no amount of exercise ( and I exercised a lot ) would change the look of my flabby, loose skinned legs. I became very self conscious when wearing anything that went above my knees...in fact I completely stopped. My legs looked like that of a much older women.
My surgery went well, and so far I couldn't be more excited about my results.  Dr. Katzen makes beautiful scars....thin, thin scars.  He is incredibly skilled. I am 2 1/2 months post op and my scars already look amazing. I can't wait to see what they look like a year from now, when most of the healing is complete. My legs no longer look like a granny, rather, they are firm and tight....like a teenager. Dr Katzen is the best of best... A gifted surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He is kind, caring,responsive and the icing on the cake.... he is a master at making a thin scar.

I decided to see Dr. Katzen because of his great reviews and his experience.  I am absolutely thrilled that I did and LOVE my results so far. At my first consult he spent over an hour with me going into detail and answering my long list of questions ( a very long list of questions).  He gave me his undivided attention and never made me feel rushed. I had 4 more consultations with him before booking the surgery ...each came with another long list of more questions. Each time he spent adequate time with me so that I felt reassured and had all my questions answered.  Never once did I feel hurried.  After the surgery he responded to all my emails and visited me daily while I was in the recovery center ....even on the weekend. He has continued to respond to my emails since I have been home. The care he has provided is something that just does not happen today. This is a big, scary surgery and he goes beyond the call of duty to make his patients  feel comfortable and lower any kind of stress one may be feeling. If you are going through the process of looking for a plastic surgeon....search no more. You will be incredibly happy with Dr. Katzen.
