Hands Down the Best With Silicone Removal

I first received silicone injections in 1997. In 1999 I started administering injections myself ignorant to the complications and dangers that silicone injections would cause later. The complications for me started in 2012. After serving time in prison for illegal injections, I started researching Doctors to begin my removal process. My initial thought was to go out the country but many Drs will not remove up to 95% of the product and I felt I needed to stay in the states in the event of complications. Also many doctors in the US will not see you for a follow up visits. If you have had the procedure out of the country. I met with many Dr’s in the US as well but never felt comfortable with any until 2023 when I was introduced to Dr Katzen. He knew I was a former injector but never judged me. I knew immediately that he was the one do my surgery. From the first encounter with him I was sold! At my first appointment upon entering the office his staff was super nice and very attentive. Then enters Dr Katzen and his energy is like a breathe of fresh air. After spending time with him and learning about which procedure would be best for me (which was the open technique) I knew he was the one that I could trust. I had to have quite a bit of tests done before I could be approved have the procedure.

I was very nervous the day of the procedure but before the surgery, he came in and LITERALLY held my hand and reassured me that he would do his absolute BEST to make sure that I was pleased with the outcome. That’s all I needed to hear. He was so confident that I couldn’t help but feel the same way. My healing journey was emotional and full of ups and downs. Dr Katzen and his staff were there every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for better experience during the recovery journey. Listen to Dr Katzen and the staff! Whatever he suggests and instructs you to do, DO IT! He knows what’s best.

My butt isn’t perfect without clothes but with clothes I look GREAT! I made a conscience decision not to do a reconstruction because I overcame the insecurities and low self esteem while dealing with the disfigurement of my butt. My main objective was and is to feel better and be healthy.

Thank you so much Dr Katzen, you changed my life for the better.
