Ratings & Reviews
Dr. Cat is a well-rated and highly-regarded Beverly Hills female plastic surgeon.
On each of the four most commonly used patient review platforms, she is rated 4.6 to 4.9 out of 5 stars.
Google: 4.7 Stars based on 89 reviews
Dr. Cat is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars on Google.
Of the 89 reviews, only 6 are less than 5-star; those 6 negative reviews relate most to waiting times, and poor office communication. (As consults with the doctor are paid for, waiting was exasperating and costly.)
RealSelf: 4.6 Stars based on 49 reviews
Dr. Cat is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars on RealSelf.com. All but 6 of Dr. Cat’s 49 RealSelf reviews are 5-star.
Yelp: 4.6 Stars based on 57 reviews
Dr. Cat is rated 4.6 out of 5 stars on Yelp.com, based on 57 reviews.
As with many (if not all) other local businesses, Yelp has determined that 91 more reviews should not be “factored into the business’s overall star rating,” and of those 91, only 3 are not 5-star.
Yelp makes this determination for a number of reasons, and it is extremely common for a business to have numerous reviews categorized this way.
HealthGrades: 4.9 Stars based on 29 reviews
Dr. Cat is rated 4.9 out of 5 stars on HealthGrades.com, based on 29 patient/customer ratings.
Prices & Fees
Dr. Cat Plastic Surgery charges a $500 consultation fee.
This $500 fee goes toward the cost of a surgical procedure (only, not a non-surgical treatment such as Botox), if the patient opts to have one.
| Service or Surgery | Price |
| Consultation | $500 |
| Breast Augmentation | $20,000, $7,500 (in 2014) |
| Breast Lift | $27,000 |
| Brazilian butt lift | $13,775 |
| Butt lift and/with liposuction | $20,000 |
| Labiaplasty | $4,700, $9,000 |
| Labiaplasty w/ Clitoral Hood Reduction | $16,500 |

| Liposuction revision | $13,000, $17,000, $18,000, $20,000 |
| Tummy Tuck | $8,000, “can range from $12,000 to $50,000” |
| Tummy Tuck Revision | $12,000, $20,000 |
A patient’s actual out-of-pocket costs may vary greatly due to the unique nature of each patient’s body, and their goals for a procedure.

It is typically considered a positive attribute for a surgeon to decline performing certain procedures—no single surgeon can possibly master every one of the 29 possible plastic surgeries available today. They may do so for a wide variety of reasons and it is in your own best interest to pursue a plastic surgeon who is both passionate and professionally adept in your procedure(s) of choice.
