Provider Review
After losing 120 pounds via gastric bypass/duedenal switch, and keeping it off for ten years, it was time to remove the extra skin from my abdomen and arms. I've undergone three procedures (via two operations) with Dr. Katzen ~ abdominoplasty in 2012, and breast augmentation with implants and brachioplasty in 2016 and am absolutely thrilled with all three outcomes! My weight loss surgery saved my life. My family history is such that I'm certain I would be suffering from a host of weight related illnesses had I not undergone the surgery. My procedures with Dr. Katzen have enabled me to live an even better life and feel really good about myself and what I look like now. "Plastic surgery" and/or "cosmetic surgery" is not that with extreme weight loss patients. These procedures I believe are necessary and are the completion of the weight loss journey and transformation. Dr. Katzen and his staff are amazing and so helpful and supportive! I always felt comfortable and as though I was Dr. Katzen's only patient. Dr. Katzen took the time to talk with me and my husband and answered any questions we had. He also made himself available via email as well. The journey is such a personal and humbling experience and Dr. Katzen has a kindness and calmness about him right from the very beginning. He and his staff are there for you from the first consultation, to the pre-operative appointments, to the day of surgery, to the post operative appointments and that, I feel, is exceptional and maybe even rare today. My tummy is flat now and I don't suffer from yeast infections in the folds of the extra stomach skin. I can wear jeans with my shirt tucked in and I now own a lot of belts as a result. My arms look amazing! They're teeny tiny now and I can buy shirts that actually fit me and don't have to buy a bigger size just to fit over my arms. I can work out comfortably (since the skin on my upper arms doesn't flop around anymore). I can wear short sleeve shirts and tank tops and I haven't been able to do that since I was a kid. I lost a lot of weight in the chest area and was very self conscious with the way I looked since my breasts were droopy and flat. I am very pleased with the look of my breasts now ~ they look fantastic! And my husband is very pleased as well! I would recommend Dr. Katzen and his office to everyone and anyone! I couldn't be any happier or more pleased with being Dr. Katzen's patient or the outcome of what I've had done. If I decide to have any other procedures, weight loss related or otherwise, I would not hesitate to see Dr. Katzen again. Dr. Katzen truly has a heart and a gift for what he's doing and I'm very thankful to have met him and had him as my doctor.
