Body Contouring
Body contouring for men is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and sculpt areas of the body by removing excess fat and tightening skin.
Benefits
of body
contouring
Body contouring can significantly improve the appearance of the chest, abdomen, arms, back, and thighs by targeting problem areas that may not respond to conventional methods. This procedure enhances muscle definition and improves overall body proportions, helping men achieve a more toned and athletic appearance.
At The Lucas Center, Dr. Lucas works with each patient to create a personalized surgical plan that fits their unique goals, body type, and lifestyle. Whether you want to refine your chest or achieve a more sculpted midsection, we’re here to help you feel confident in your results.
The
surgery
process
Dr. Lucas takes a customized approach to body contouring, ensuring the procedure is tailored to your specific needs and goals. During your personalized consultation, he’ll assess your body structure, discuss any areas of concern, and recommend the best techniques. Common procedures involved in body contouring can include liposuction, tummy tucks (abdominoplasty), and lipo-sculpting of the chest.
Post-surgery, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results, whether you’re local to Knoxville or traveling from surrounding areas like the Tri-Cities.
What
is the
recovery
time?
Recovery from body contouring typically varies depending on the extent of the procedures involved. Most men can return to light activities within two weeks, though strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks. Swelling, bruising, and temporary discomfort are common but will gradually subside.
Following Dr. Lucas's aftercare instructions is key to a successful recovery. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle will also help preserve the results of your body contouring and keep you feeling confident long-term.
