Amazing Experience. Highly Recommend This Procedure
Hey ladies,
So I came to Dr. Katzen to have silicone removed from my butt. So I had silicon injections 17yrs ago. In 2018 I had some removed by Dr. Mir in ny. However he left a lot behind at least that’s what I thought. Saw Dr Katzen in a virtual consultation in 2021 and then again in 2023. Reviewed the MIR with me and went through what I would need and how long the procedure would take. So finally in 2024 I had the money to do the procedure. I must say I was excited and nervous at the same time. I was tired of all the symptoms I was experiencing from the silicone. Such as anxiety, fatigue, enlarged thyroid, trouble sleeping, aching joints etc. Just overall not feeling healthy. They gave me a list of things to purchase most things my nurse brought with her automatically. Yes ladies I hired a nurse. From my experience after this procedure you will need help and it’s best to hire professional help. My nurse cost me $5000 for around the clock care. Such as making sure I’m taking all my medications. Making me 3 meals a day, checking my vitals etc.
So I flew in from NC to Los Angeles. And stayed in a Airbnb for 14 days. Dr Katzen required you stay local for 10 days minimum.
So surgery day was Wednesday 10/30 at 6am. We went through taking pictures and pretty much everything we had already discussed at preop the day before.
Once pictures was done I layed in the bed. They got my iv going and next thing I know I was sleep.
I woke up and the procedure was done. I was not in pain at all. Transportation services were required. So ambulance picked me up and transported me to my Airbnb. The traffic was terrible. We left the surgery center around 5pm and didn’t get there until 6:30p. I was sleeping the entire way. Once home my had everything set up for me. Checked my vitals etc. Made sure I took all my medications.
By day 6 it was it was time for me too go to the doctor for my postop visit. He checked my drain log and determine that we needed to leave the drains in explained how important it was for me to drink a gallon of water a day. also to drink 3 to 4 protein shakes per day.
He told me that it was mostly scar tissue and the last doctor got most of the silicone. My main concern with my butt was the hardness and other health issues it was causing. I’m hoping that the discoloration completely goes away.
He said that he cut most of the discoloration off so what time it should go away. He said that we have to give it at least six months. Once I hit one month postop, I’ll post a picture and keep you ladies updated so far. This was a five star experience and I would highly recommend Dr.Katzen.
Also, I almost forgot these are the symptoms that have since improved. I no longer have anxiety. My skin is so much softer, my joints don’t hurt anymore. And I’m not as irritable. I overall feel way better. Dr. Katzen stated the thyroid takes about six months to go back to normal size. Also, my lymph nodes used to feel painful now they are no longer painful.
