The Best and I Looked Researched Everywhere and Everyone

WORTH IT
Body lift and thigh lift 11 pounds removed and I have my 19 year old body back [RSBleep], you know the body we had before the babies and the weight gains loses gains and loses ------ 
Dr. Katzen exceeded all my expectations with the surgical results and he has a mellow kind beside manner very UN-LA (thank goodness).
The office staff is SUPER NICE (Kiara is great) I live in SF and traveled and stayed the 2 weeks in LA because he is the best. I am not posting body pics BC I am 7 weeks post op my scars look good but are PINK (that is how I scar) and my thighs look good (yes they are gapped now) but have 2 little incisions/suture healing spots - totally normal healing stuff.Will update with body pics in a few weeks.

Thank you for your kind words and thank you for traveling all the way from San Francisco to LA to have your body lift with me. I’m glad you did your research. I’m very happy that you are overly satisfied with your new body. Thanks again for your kind words. Sincerely, Dr.Katzen.

You look great!! It’s nice seeing other people with similar before pictures as my own body, and is definitely reassuring when I see the Amazon after photos. Do you mind sharing a ballpark What was the overall cost like for the lower body lift? I’ve been searching for a long time to find a surgeon that feels good in my gut but I’ve noticed within the last few years the pricing on their websites have been removed. I’m about 8-10lbs away from my personal goal weight and that’s what I’m supposed to hit before my husband will work with me to figure out how to get this done! I’m ready to get my life back if I’m being honest lol

he can not quote prices bc everyone is different
my price will not be your price bc our surgical times will be different etc


also keep in mind it is a 2 weeks stay in a hotel - that added another 3/4 k to the price (plus the chair I rented etc) NOT a fancy hotel - it was the Hampton inn or whatever by their office
it was well over 30k (year 1/2 a go) surgery pre op hotel chair rental all of it - this is a big investment
so brace yourself

the money is the easy part the first 2 months are hellish - so stay HEAVILY medicated

Hi did you do the long scar thigh lift or just the groin incision. Would love to see pics of this if you manage to sort the computer :-) x

I have scars inside thighs
right below knee bend to right inside thigh about an inch below bikini line
they are 13 inches each side

I will have my husband help me with the pics
I am 5 months 5 days out (1/23)
back to exercising multiple hours a day (serious tennis player) and this surgeon has made a difference - the body lift eliminated all that loose skin I was cramming into my exercise pants

Thanks so much for the info. Did the 360 help the back of thighs also?
June 29, 2020
oh yea
completely cleaned all the lines up
honestly was shocked
no more side or back cellulite - he pulls you tight - did not ask for a tight pull - he does it though

back of leg cellulite not my back

11 week 360 BL back side pic

Again nice scar Dr Katzen is a great surgeon
It occurred to me this was about 4 - 5 feet of stitches
the BL was A LOT easier than the thigh recovery
thighs are a bit trickier - and I still can not figure out how to post multiple pics
I think my new comp ???
