Appt w/ Dr. Katzen

Hi all,   I have my first plastic surgery consult on August 3rd with Dr. Katzen.  One of my friends had him perform her plastic surgery and she loved the results.  I am very excited.  My hubby is going to go with me. Has anyone used Dr. Katzen?  If so, what was your experience? Hugs, Heather

I've a consult with him on August 2. I'd be interested in this string as well. I chose him due to my friend MsShell's glowing reviews. She had a consult with him a while ago.

I am very excited too!!  I can't wait.  To be honest, I am a little nervous about having more surgery.  I know that it will be worth it in the end. Hugs!!

Hey Heather...I just wanted to say congratulations on starting this leg of your journey.  I went to a seminar with Dr. Katzen (before I even had surgery) and I must say the experience was eye opening and he just seemed amazing.  Continueed success!! Ms Shell

So, Ms Shell, you got a good vibe from him?  Give me your "official" take on him!!!  I want the details!!  LOL I wish you continued success as well!!

He did a complete body makeover on me Heather....good luck!

Janine,   Do you have all your info posted on your profile????  If not, then I need all details!!  LOL  Are you happy with your results..etc..after care???  You look amazing to me but give me your take on him and his work. Thank you for responding to my post.  I know that I haven't been on here much lately.   Hugs, Heather

I think I do have most of the experience posted on my profile. It might be in the archives or something.

Depending on what hospital you're going to depends on the care. I have had 5 surgeries and have had them done in 3 different hospitals....none at Hawaiian Gardens. His aftercare is good. I do not know too much about his staff anymore since he had a turn over. His body work is great...although I have had some breast issues that have yet to be resolved. However overall, I am pleased....my trunk is incrediably flat and tight and I have worked hard to keep it that way. I had the circumfrential lower body lift....thighs, my trunk is cut up the center....also both sides.....like I said my breast, and I have had my arms done. The only thing I did not touch was my face and neck.

Would I do it again...you bet because it changed how I felt about my body. I could lose the weight, but if I had not had the skin issue dealt with, I feel I would have never been as successful as I have been!

Good luck! I want to hear how things went!

I love Dr Katzen. I had a LBL and lipo to my thigh on June 5th. I have my thigh lift scheduled for Aug 21st. If you have any questions PM me. I did write alittle info in my journal, but haven't found time to update it lately. I'm to busy shopping for clothes to wear. I went down 2 sizes and I'm only down 20 lbs of the 35 lbs that was removed.
