My health has improved 100%

I Had Amazing Experience

WORTH IT
"Thirteen years ago, I received silicone injections in the buttocks, and three years ago, I began experiencing symptoms that I initially attributed to muscle soreness after workouts. However, a year ago, the issues escalated with abdominal pain, headaches, extreme fatigue, and other worrying symptoms. Despite visiting several doctors and specialists, no one could help me until I found Dr. Katzen. My first appointment was in January, and after facing my fears, I decided to schedule surgery for silicone removal using the open technique.

Unfortunately, the silicone had infiltrated the muscle near the sciatic nerve and had spread to my back and leg. The surgery took place on February 26th, and after three weeks, I feel like I've come back to life. My health has improved 100%, and although I'm still in the recovery process, I feel amazing. This recovery is incomparable to my previous state of health.

I want to highlight the excellence of Dr. Katzen and his team. If you're facing similar issues with silicone injections, don't hesitate to contact them. Their professionalism and dedication are unmatched. Dr. Katzen saved my life. I will update my recovery progress in the future. I'm now in my last week in Los Angeles and will return home in 6 days. Thank you, Dr. Katzen. Saying thank you is not enough. Dr. Katzen and his team have guided and supported me throughout; they are the best in the world
