Dont go here - Lower Body Lift and Breast Lift After Weight Loss

When researching doctors I wanted a doctor who was experienced with lower body lift and weight loss patients. Dr. Katzen is highly specialized with this procedure and population. I also had a breast lift and augmentation. Plastic surgery is hard. Be prepared. Dr. Katzen is super safe and at first you may ask why do I have to do this or that? Do it. There’s a rationale for it all. He’s goal is the safest recovery for you and you will have a better experience if you follow his orders. My post op visits left me feeling good. He has such a great bedside manner. You don’t feel rushed and he makes you feel at ease. He’s such a humble man too. He put my shoes on and he talked to me and my husband about Netflix series. His office staff is responsive and kind. I’m still healing but I think I’m feeling as good as can be for these procedures.

Hello,
I’m 7 wpo and this lower body lift has done wonders for me. My breasts still hurt so I’m hoping that goes away. One nipple is higher than the other and I don’t think it’s a matter of one breast dropping. It almost looks like my nipple was put back on upside down. So I dont think my nipples were done correctly. I’ll post an update if they correct themselves.

My lower body lift is my favorite thing, however I did get two wounds and I’m seeing a wound care doctor in my city. Getting wounds such and I still have stitches in that have to be cut as they push their way out of my body.

I’m not sure why my photos won’t upload.

I want to say thank you to Dr. K and staff. I’m so grateful for this surgery even though I had complications. I couldn’t upload pictures before but now I could. I got two wounds one on my sacrum and one on my right hip, that really sucked. I got wound care from a local wound care doctor right away, don’t delay getting wound care, it will speed up your recovery.

My breasts are good in size, very happy Dr. K encouraged me to go up in size. Not happy with nipples though, they are not symmetrical, one is smaller than the other and one is placed slightly higher than the other.

My body contour is great! Incision lines are not the neatest or straightest, could be better. I told Dr. K my bariatric dr had told me I had an umbilical hernia, Dr. K said he didn’t see it, yesterday I had to have it repaired so I’m not sure he paid attention to that.

Belly button stalk was placed to the right of my belly button, the stalk was long and now I have a bulge from it. Wondering if the stalk could have been shortened? I’ll try to post a picture.

I have developed a suture granuloma on my upper abdomen muscle repair. It’s a hard ball slightly visible at skin level. My general surgeon wanted to remove the suture but if he does it would mess up my muscle repair per Dr. K so eventually I’ll need to deal with that.

As you can see from my picture I look pretty good with my clothes on. I feel much more confident now. With my clothes off you really see my scars and the how the finer details of the work could be better. I know Dr. K’s surgical tech sewed me up on one side from the video I got, likely the side I got openings so I really think Dr. K needs to do all the suturing because the side he sewed up looks beautiful.
