Body Contouring

Home/Body Contouring

For those looking to refine their silhouette or who simply want a more sculpted figure, Minneapolis plastic surgeon John Luck, MD, offers a thoughtful and precision-based approach to body contouring. Drawing from his medical and plastic surgery training at Johns Hopkins Hospital and guided by a philosophy of preservation whenever possible, Dr. Luck performs each procedure with respect to natural anatomy and proportion, enhancing shape without compromising harmony.

Every body contouring procedure begins with a comprehensive consultation to explore your goals, assess anatomy, and develop a surgical plan that aligns with both your lifestyle and long-term aspirations. Whether you’re seeking subtle improvements or more dramatic reshaping, Dr. Luck’s focus remains the same: to deliver sculpted, natural results while preserving the natural architecture of the body.

  • Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

    Abdominoplasty, informally known as a “tummy tuck,” is the premier procedure to treat separated abdominal muscles and excess skin in the abdomen, refining the silhouette and tightening the abdominal profile. Unlike standard approaches to tummy tuck surgery, Dr. Luck incorporates liposculpture (liposuction) to enhance natural curves and achieve the defined, highly sought after “hourglass” figure. This adjunctive fat removal also helps reduce stubborn fat in the flanks, further slimming the waistline.

    For men, Dr. Luck also utilizes rectus plication — the surgical repair of loose abdominal muscles — to strengthen the core. Liposculpture is often performed in conjunction to better define the “six-pack,” while advanced techniques are employed to reduce potential complications, such as a seroma. Dr. Luck performs drainless tummy tucks for appropriate candidates, allowing a truly customized experience tailored to achieve the highest caliber of final results.

    By emphasizing a multi-modal approach to abdominoplasty, tummy tuck patients enjoy a refined and enduring outcome, often with improved core support and better posture.

  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

    A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is a specialized fat transfer procedure designed to enhance the shape, volume, and overall harmony of the buttocks using the body’s own natural fat. Dr. Luck brings an elevated level of precision and safety to this procedure by performing surgery using ultrasound-guided fat injections — an advanced technique that allows for real-time visualization during fat placement. This added layer of control minimizes risks and ensures fat is precisely deposited in the correct plane, significantly enhancing the safety profile of a BBL.

    As with all of Dr. Luck’s surgical procedures, a Brazilian Butt Lift is carefully customized to complement your natural proportions and aesthetic goals. Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using liposuction, then purified and artistically transferred to the buttocks to create a lifted, fuller, and more youthful contour.

    Rather than pursuing exaggerated outcomes, Dr. Luck focuses on refined, proportionate results — enhancing curves while maintaining a natural silhouette. His artistic eye, paired with real-time ultrasound guidance, allows him to shape the buttocks with confidence, precision, and an unwavering commitment to safety. By removing stubborn fat where you don’t want it, and meticulously enhancing key areas of the buttocks, a BBL can achieve beautiful, balanced body contours while leveraging your own natural tissue in the process.
