I am one week of post op and I am happy I allowed Dr.Katzen to remove my silicone injections from my butt. He used the vaser lipo tool to complete the job. This doctor is very informative, transparent and shows that he is very interested in helping his patient. He did his best to ensure I gave no deformities but of course you can’t control everything. I’m in a lot of pain I had my pain pump removed a few days ago but my drains had to stay in because my body is still releasing a lot of fluid.I’m happy I went to see Dr.Katzen and don’t regret it. It’s scary and I’m still scared because I want my drains out and want the pain to go away. I’m an athlete and sitting around in pain kills me mentally because I want to work out and go for a jog and I can't. I like the results for the surgery but wish a few things could be changed. Overall I’m happy I got this stuff out and I’m free. Go see this doctor even if you don’t have the money and do a payment plan. Get that cancer out your body and don’t wait.

My photos attached are before photos once my body is fully healed I will post my after pictures for you all to see. I like the new shape and size of my butt. Dr.Katzen did his best and he has the hands of God! I have Dimple on my left Butt cheek that I may want to get fixed later or figure out a solution for it if there is one but overall I’m happy and I’ll update you all soon.

Hi I would like to see how it came I don’t think you attached it . I’m doing a consultation with him and would like to do the Vaser lipo to remove the silicon . Was this an option or did you absolutely tell him you wanted to go this route ?

I did the open. I preferred the open so i can see what was inside of me. I'm glad I got it because he gives an automatic butt lift. I go in for my reconstructive BBL in 3 weeks. I'm scared and excited at the same time.

My butt is getting worse
Cool2570March 4, 2023
I need the closed technique and my butt has grown back fast. I’m getting black marks all over. I’m scared and don’t know what to do now. People are noticing how big it is again. I’m going to reach back out to the doctor to make sure this isn’t in my mind and do I need surgery again

How much did he say he removed? I did the open technique but was given the option to do the closed technique.

I’m confused why in 2023 doctors are using the closed technique. I doesn’t work!! It only makes matter worse!!

For real? I have to see! I had only got injections one time and it wasn’t in my muscles.

It doesn’t matter if you had a little bit! Lipoing or using similar techniques only mixes your fat with the silicone. I know we all don’t want a big scar across our butt but open technique gets the most amount of product out because the surgeon is cutting out the affected areas.

Please don't say that. I had the open and I'm fine. Just affects your confidence level a little.

I had my silicone cut out of my butt & a tiny amount from my muscle in 2019. My symptoms went away within days of having my removal. People get lipod/closed technique cause they don’t want big scars BUT they soon realize it doesn’t work.

No, you will be fine. Dr Katzen is a great Dr. Sometimes a second or third surgery is necessy

If a second or third is needed, do u have to pay all over again or is it covered by original cote?

I heard that the closed techniques VASER, Lazer, all Liposuction generally does not work effectively.. The open technique is what gets the majority out.. and with out spreading it like the Lipo does. Wishing you well

Can someone else who has had the Vaser lipo (closed procedure) with positive results chime in? This is getting to be a bit confusing.
May 16, 2023
Agree. I thought that Dr Katzen's vaser technique was makes the difference. According to his YT channel there is no evidence of the closed technique spreading the product to other areas. This is confusing.

Crickets!!! Other reputable surgeons in the US and overseas use the open technique for
a reason. The closed technique/lipo/vaser or whatever other type of cannula is going in and out of the affected area only causes more problems. Of course no one wants a large scar but right now the open technique where tissue fat muscle and the silicone are cut out of the area is the procedure that removes the most amount of product without it spreading. Good luck dear...Just my 2 cent!! I've already had removal and recon...
