With the surge in effective weight loss medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and the expected rise of retatrutide targeting GIP and GCG receptors, thousands of patients are experiencing transformative weight reduction. Yet for many, the journey is incomplete without addressing the excess skin and disproportions left behind. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Otto Placik, recently honored as a Top Doctor and recognized by Chicago Magazine as a beauty expert, is helping patients complete their transformation through advanced body contouring procedures.
Meeting the Surge in Body Contouring Demand
As innovative medications create new waves of weight loss success, Dr. Placik notes a parallel rise in the need for contouring surgeries. “Weight loss injections are life-changing, but patients often find themselves left with stretched skin and uneven contours that no amount of exercise can correct,” Dr. Placik explained. “This is where body contouring plays a vital role, helping patients feel confident and comfortable in their new bodies.”
A Portfolio of Proven Expertise
Dr. Placik has performed thousands of body contouring procedures throughout his career, making him one of Chicago’s most experienced surgeons in this specialty.
His extensive work includes:
- Breast restoration with fat transfer and lifting techniques to replace lost volume.
- Upper body refinement, addressing sagging skin of the arms and back.
- Abdominal and lower torso procedures, such as reverse tummy tucks and circumferential body lifts.
- Specialized lifts for the pubic region, thighs, and gluteal area to restore natural proportions.
Each procedure is tailored to the individual, combining surgical precision with artistry to ensure results that appear balanced and natural.
Top Recognition and Patient-Centered Care
Dr. Placik’s career spans over two decades, with honors including Castle Connolly Top Doctor, the Patients’ Choice Award, and recognition as one of the nation’s leading body contouring specialists. Beyond accolades, his patients often highlight the profound boost in self-confidence following surgery. “The real success comes when patients return not only looking transformed, but carrying themselves with a renewed sense of pride and confidence,” Dr. Placik noted.
