Silicone Injection Removal

WORTH IT$18,600
I had got silicone injected in me in 2014. The pain started once I had my second child. I had pain in my legs, arms and my lymph nodes around my pelvic had gotten swollen as well. I flew from Dallas to Cali to see Timothy Katzen. This doctor is amazing He’s very smart! And caring. He was worth every penny I had to spend. I’m so happy I’m finally silicone free. His entire team is wonderful. Words cannot explain the joy I have from this experience! I highly recommend Dr. Timothy Katzen!

Thank you for sharing your story love. I am happy you decided to remove that poison! My surgery is scheduled for 11/12. Dr. Katzen and his staff are truly heaven sent. Do you have any pre or post surgery recommendations? Blessings to you

Yes ma'am, I'm feeling a whole lot better. No pain in my legs, no numbness. This has been foremost my best decision ever. The only recommendations I have is to make sure u eat on your medication n make sure you are on top of your stool softeners lol n Walk! Other then that everything is very thing. This is the third week n I'm soooo over laying on my stomach.... #Blessings

This is 4 days after illegal silicone removal surgery! I’ve been laying on my back every since I have had the surgery done which was on 10/14/2020. Dr Timothy is so much the best I know I have said this a Million times! But omg he’s so smart, nice, n I truly believe he can do this with his eyes close! If anyone have questions please feel free to reach out and ask, I am here. Best of luck ladies

So happy for you! Did you have any health issues prior to the surgery? And how many pounds total was removed?
November 7, 2020
I was experiencing pain in the legs, arm, and lower back pain. Dr. Katzen removed 6 pounds....

Thank you for sharing. How long did you have to stay in Cali? And did you stay in a hotel or an Airbnb? Do you have before pictures?
November 7, 2020
I had an Airbnb for 2 weeks and went to my pre op appointment and they recommended me to stay another week so then I rented a room. I would suggest if u plan on going to Cali to be prepared to stay there for at least a full month

I am so nervous. Dr Katzen will be removing mine this March 2022. Please email me at lashqueen35@gmail.com

I just need someone to talk to please.

Hi, how long did it take for Dr. Katzen to give you a surgery day? Are you getting the open procedure? How much is he charging you? I just got my MRI done and I'm waiting for the results to forward to him for a second consultation? I'm in constant pain everyday. I can't sit for more than 15 minutes.
