Dr. Bucky’s Vision for The Bucky Body Center
Throughout his 25 years of experience in plastic surgery, Dr. Bucky has always continued to identify and contribute to advancements and refinements in the field to bring the best results and safest experience to patients. With his unwavering commitment to top patient care, Dr. Bucky quickly realized that many of the treatments he pursued to expedite recovery and optimize results for his surgical patients also had great beauty and health benefits that would resonate with people who simply sought general wellness and also desired effective non-surgical cosmetic enhancements.
After years of curating through the most highly effective technologies and building three plastic surgery, injectable and skincare offices in Philadelphia, Dr. Bucky recognized an opportunity to bring a unique space to the area – one that intrinsically balances wellness and beauty, serves as a place to both heal and improve oneself, has a laser-focus on just the body, and that only features non-surgical or minimally-invasive treatments – all under one roof! Now, those recovering from surgery or an injury have a place to heal faster, those looking for cosmetic enhancements without surgery have a place to make effective change, and those seeking to boost overall wellness have a safe, comfortable and medically-powered space to routinely do so with the opening of the Bucky Body Center.
At the Bucky Body Center, Dr. Bucky will perform minimally-invasive procedures such as BodyTite and Microsuction to reshape and remodel the body for improved contour and rejuvenated body appearance. His world-renowned artful and gentle aesthetic techniques create lasting results with minimal recovery. And most importantly, Dr. Bucky and his esteemed staff are there for you every step of the way on your body enhancement journey.
