My experience with doctor Katzen has been beyond awful both mentally and physically and when I mentioned what can we do to make this right he sends quotes for price for revisions for 20k . I should have not been charged and if anything offered a refund for leaving me scared and disfigured. Also I've attached pictures and my MRI still shows substantial silicone still in my buttocks( which I know you can't get 100 Percent out.) When I had a doctor visit I overheard him advising another patient to get an MRI but never advised me and unfortunately already had my surgery. He only sent me a recommendation to someone after I asked and the doctor who did it said there is no way of knowing how much was taken out because I didn't do one before. And as a board certified doctor I should have been advised. He assured me that The Ultra sound liposuction is all I needed which only made it spread and made my butt bigger. I don't understand why I wasn't advised to do an MRI before surgery.

Simply put, I am deformed. I'm a young, active and healthy 55 year old woman. I went to Dr Katzen because I had a saggy bottom due to overly aggressive liposuction in my early 20's. "A deflated balloon", the doctor called it. A total of 6 lbs was removed. It is now 1 1/2 years later and I'm so much worse than when I started. My body is severely concave where the stitches were. I cannot wear any clothing that shows my waist or hips. At my last visit the doctor said this should likely reconcile itself within a matter of months. It has not. I've have several sessions with someone who does scar tissue release in the hopes that my body goes back to a relatively normal shape, but this has had very limited success. I'm left with a deformity that is much harder to conceal with clothing than my saggy butt ever was. I would recommend anyone considering this that you ask to see the results after 6 months and photos from all angles before you make such a huge investment in money and time.

I had a tummy tuck with Dr. Katzen and couldn't be happier with my results. He also has great bedside manner which is something I value.

My aunt referred me to Dr. Katzen. He did breast augmentation on my uneven breasts. They look amazing now. Thank you Dr. Katzen!

I had gynecomastia surgery with Dr. Katzen after losing over 100 pounds. I was always self conscience about my skin and fat in my breasts. I was never able to go swimming without taking my shirt off. I am happy I found Dr. Katzen. He's an amazing and skilled surgeon!
