My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones - I normally don't write reviews but Dr. J Timothy Katzen and his team have gone above and beyond my expectations. I had gastric sleeve surgery and lost a total of 125 pounds. I kept convincing myself that I don't need plastic or reconstructive surgery. I figured I was healthy, and excess skin and fat is something I could live with. Boy was I wrong. Looking at my flabs and wrinkled skin was a bad reminder of my old obese self, the person I wanted to move on from. I had such low self-esteem when I was obese. I found Dr. J Timothy Katzen through Real Self and had no doubt he is the right surgeon for my situation. Dr. Katzen was the clear choice because of how many before and after pictures he had, the number of great reviews, the questions and answers, the videos, and his credentials, I mean I can go on forever. I felt super confident in my decision and sure enough, he delivered. Dr. Katzen did a circumferential body lift and I could not be more pleased with the results and care I received from everyone. I am forever grateful for how Dr. Katzen transformed my body. My self-esteem and confidence have already improved by milestones.

(Translated by Google) I am happy to be a patient of Dr. to be cats. I'm an aquafill victim. After my injection in Düsseldorf in 2017, I ran into problems very quickly. For several years I regularly took medication for pain and was afraid for my health and for my life. From the first minutes of meeting Dr. Katzen on I realized that he perfectly knows all the problems related to aquafilling.Before the operation I was worried, but my doctor approached me and reassured me, I went to the operating room with a smile . Everything went well and the result is better than I could have imagined. dr Katzen was very careful with my body, it looks like I have no gel. I am thin and you could see and feel aquafilling. This gel was in the layers of the skin, but now there is nothing there. Many thanks to dr. Katzen and his entire team (Original) Ich bin glücklich, Patientin von Dr. Katzen zu sein. Ich bin ein Aquafilling-Opfer. Nach meiner Spritze 2017 in Düsseldorf habe ich sehr schnell Probleme bekommen. Mehrere Jahre lang nahm ich regelmäßig Medikamente gegen Schmerzen und hatte Angst um meine Gesundheit und um mein Leben. Von den ersten Minuten des Treffens mit Dr. Katzen an wurde mir klar, dass er alle Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Aquafilling perfekt kennt.Vor der Operation war ich besorgt, aber mein Arzt kam auf mich zu und beruhigte mich, ich ging mit einem Lächeln in den Operationssaal . Alles hat gut geklappt und das Ergebnis ist besser als ich es mir hätte vorstellen können. Dr. Katzen war sehr vorsichtig mit meinem Körper, es sieht so aus, als hätte ich kein Gel. Ich bin dünn und Aquafilling war zu sehen und zu spüren. Dieses Gel war in den Hautschichten, aber jetzt ist dort nichts mehr. Vielen Dank an Dr. Katzen und sein gesamtes Team

who is a Candidate for EAR SURGERY?

Ear reshaping surgery is a safe procedure that can be done on patients of all ages. In fact, it is incredibly common among young children. It's often suggested that children receive this surgery before they start elementary school. Around age 4 – 6, this operative procedure is safe to be performed on a child. If you feel embarrassment regarding the shape and size of your ears because they stick out or are too large, otoplasty can be considered to attain a natural-looking appearance. If you suffer from a torn, stretched, or damaged earlobe, you may also be a candidate for otoplasty.

what to expect during EAR SURGERY

Ear reshaping surgery is completed using anesthesia, either general or IV sedation. Most often, the incision is made around the back portion of the ear or inside the inner folds. During surgery, cartilage will be manipulated to create a new contour and natural-looking appearance. It's generally common for both ears to be altered during the surgical procedure to ensure that they appear symmetrical. After surgery, the incisions are safely stitched together with sutures and wrapped so they are safeguarded for healing.

how long is recovery after EAR SURGERY?

Once the procedure is finished and it is safe to leave the outpatient surgery center, you will heal and rest at home. Dr. Katzen or a member of his team will send you home with recovery instructions. It is important to not rub, touch, or scratch the ears. You or your child also should avoid laying on the ears, and instead, you should sleep propped up for the first few days. We recommend ear surgery patients to return to our Beverly Hills, CA office within 3 – 5 days after their otoplasty. During this follow-up appointment, Dr. Katzen will remove your coverings and assess the ears for progress. Your more natural-looking ears will be visible almost immediately, and your results will continue to improve as the ears heal.

Reshape Your Ears

Having ears that are small, large, unusually placed, or oddly shaped can have a significant impact on your appearance. Otoplasty (ear surgery) can help your child avoid teasing at school, but it can also help adult patients who have always felt unhappy with the look of their ears. Contact J. Timothy Katzen, M.D. in Beverly Hills, CA to schedule your appointment with plastic surgeon Dr. Katzen and learn more about cosmetic ear reshaping surgery. We look forward to helping you achieve a look you can be proud of and the confidence to flaunt it.

Will the results of ear surgery last?

Normally, the ears mature faster than other parts of the face and body, which is why an otoplasty can be performed on younger patients with long-lasting results. Dr. Katzen will examine the ears and then discuss realistic expectations and go over how long your results should last. Even as the face and body can change due to age and gravity, the effect on the ears is usually minimal. If there are dramatic changes to the ears due to an injury, a second otoplasty could be done.

How old should my child be to consider otoplasty?

Typically, children about 4 – 6 years of age are ideal candidates for otoplasty. While the ear is usually fully developed, the cartilage and tissue will still be soft, making it easy to change. This age is also good because it tends to be early on in their education. This means that your child can avoid teasing from their classmates. Although many otoplasty patients are young children, Dr. Katzen also frequently performs ear surgery for adults.

Do I need to have both ears done or just one?

The most common problems, including ears that are oversized or stick out, occur in both ears so both will often need to be addressed. During your surgery, Dr. Katzen will shape both ears so they are as equal as possible. However, if only one ear needs to be changed, the size and shape will be altered to match the other ear. When he develops your treatment plan, Dr. Katzen will let you know whether one or both ears will be addressed.
