Body Procedures & Body Contouring

Conveniently located to serve Columbus, Lancaster, Pickerington, and Canal Winchester

A healthy lifestyle is always a good thing. Sometimes, though, diet and exercise just don’t deliver the results we want (or worked for). Sometimes, all we want is to look better in our shorts, swimsuits, and body-conscious clothing. And that’s okay. Because when we look good, we feel good. We have more confidence. And we feel better in our own skin!

Unfortunately, our bodies change over time, thanks to a little help from pregnancy, weight loss, gravity, and aging.

If you’re concerned about loose skin, excess fat that won’t go away (even when you’re at or near your ideal weight), stubborn tummy bulges, or diastasis recti (weakness and separation of the lower abdominal muscles), plastic surgery might be right for you.

Our Columbus and Lancaster, Ohio practice, which offers a variety of body contouring procedures as well as abdominal muscle repair to improve core strength, can help you make a positive change in your appearance.

Our team is led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Lichten, whose personal mission is to educate every patient about their surgical and non-surgical options. During your consultation at either one of our Central Ohio locations, Dr. Lichten will listen to your concerns, discuss which body reshaping procedures would work best for you, and take the time to answer any questions you may have about the procedure.

If you’re ready to get your body back, call our office at 740-653-5064. And, keep reading to learn more about our surgical and non-surgical options – including fat-freezing CoolSculpting® – for tummy, thighs, arms, and buttocks.
