Here are a few more reasons Dr. Lucas is one of Knoxville’s (and greater East Tennessee’s) most trusted and beloved board-certified plastic surgeons…
Education & Experience
We’ll be honest, Dr. Lucas is a bit of an overachiever.
He earned degrees both from medical school (M.D.) and from dental school (D.D.S.). Next, he devoted 10 years to various surgical residencies, including general, oral/maxillofacial, craniofacial, and pediatric plastic surgery. On top of this extensive education and training, Dr. Lucas has added over 20 years of experience in private practice at The Lucas Center.
Still, he never stops learning. As plastic surgery techniques and technologies continue to advance, he is committed to staying informed and providing the best results for his patients using the most up-to-date, evidence-based practices.

Then, when you’re ready, he’ll create a customized surgical plan to best serve you. With Dr. Lucas, you’ll be given personalized and personal care of the highest quality to serve your unique needs and goals.
