In a perfect world, we would all be born with a body that is proportioned, free from excess fat and skin, and sculpted. In real life, very few people are in this condition. Body contouring Chicago procedures can allow you to achieve a trimmer, more sculpted look. The procedure may involve both surgical and non-surgical treatments, based upon your current body condition. Body contouring is an umbrella term for body reshaping, and every person is different in what will be required.
Many people who have successfully lost a significant quantity of excess weight, either through diet and exercise or bariatric surgery, are left with hanging skin and tissue. Body contouring Chicago procedures are employed to remove that excess skin and tissue. Others choose to have body contouring to tighten one or more specific zones on the body, including:
Thighs
Buttocks
Abdomen
Upper arms
Back
Chest
You are a unique individual and have personal concerns about your body shape and appearance. Our approach is to treat our patients like members of our own family – and we are completely dedicated to helping them regain confidence and gain more enjoyment out of life. This is often achieved by body contouring – an improvement that results in a body in which they feel more comfortable and attractive.
If your body has a large quantity of excess skin and tissue, it may be necessary to correct the problem surgically. Our tummy tuck procedure goes beyond the traditional with a specialized surgery we call the Slim Line Abdominoplasty for a two-in-one tummy tuck that tightens the abdominal muscles and sculpts the flanks (love handles) for a more sculpted look. Dr. Kotis will do a two layer closure in the midline, with a single closure in the lateral side to tighten the flanks. He will also take accurate measurements in the torso to prevent dog ears on either side of the incision.
Body sculpting can include liposuction, abdominoplasty or body lifts for a slimmer figure. These procedures can be performed individually or in combination for a more tailored version of you.
After a body sculpting procedure, Dr. Kotis will give patients care instructions. As with most procedures, patients may experience bruising and swelling around incision sites. These will subside over time. Dr. Kotis will advise patients when they can return to light activity. Patients can enjoy the full results of body sculpting in as little as a month. They can enjoy a tighter looking figure without excess skin or fat. Dr. Kotis performs procedures for the Schaumburg, Elgin, Hoffman Estates and Evanston areas.
Dr. Kotis is not only a talented board-certified plastic surgeon, but a member of a teaching faculty.
