Dr. Brian Coan Featured on “The Doctors” TV Show for Post-Weight Loss Body Contouring

With A Warm, Caring Staff and Stunningly Natural Results,
Our Approach to Surgery is Anything but Plastic

Dr. Coan is nationally famous for his transformations and generosity. As a double-board-certified plastic surgeon, he helps patients reflect the beauty they feel on the inside with his innovative surgical techniques. He recently appeared on the Emmy award-winning show The Doctors, where he gave the extraordinary gift of plastic surgery to a young man who had been through a challenging weight loss transformation. This complete body makeover is one Dr. Coan won’t ever forget.

Tevante’s Story

At just 19 years old, Tevante weighed more than 400 pounds. He was severely depressed over his appearance and had even considered suicide. When his mom found a note he had written, he decided he needed to make a change. Tevante made a pact with his best friend Dominique to find a way to lose the weight. Each morning, she would call and wake him up and encourage him to hit the gym. Tevante faithfully followed through.

After the first week, he had lost 13 pounds and, after the first year, 100. It was slow going (when he began, he could only walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes at a time), but he was relentless in the pursuit of his goals. He also modified his eating habits and gave up fast foods and sugar. Tevante lost 225 pounds through diet, exercise, and hard work.

After he lost the weight, he explains, “I started gaining more confidence … Self-esteem went through the roof. Two years went by. Everything in my life has changed.” He loved his new body but was unhappy with the volume of excess skin that remained after his weight loss.

Dr. Coan Contacted by “The Doctors” to Help Tevante

This was when Dr. Coan became a part of Tevante’s story. Aware of Dr. Coan’s award-winning plastic surgery experience, the producers of the show contacted us and asked Dr. Coan to help Tevante complete his transformation. Dr. Coan met with Tevante to assess his aesthetic needs. Every patient is unique, and Dr. Coan needed to perform a careful examination to create the surgical plan that would yield the best possible results for Tevante. Since Tevante had lost a substantial amount of weight, a tummy tuck alone was not going to provide sufficient results. Dr. Coan recommended a lower body lift (which shapes both the abdomen and buttocks) and male breast reduction surgery.

The Transformation

Tevante and Dr. Coan appeared on The Doctors together for the big reveal, and we’re sure you’ll agree, Tevante looked amazing. As he walked out on stage, his glowing smile was obvious. Of his transformation, Tevante says, “It exceeded all my expectations. I felt great afterward. I have a lot more confidence.”

Tevante’s experience with Dr. Coan has completely improved his life. He’s happier and healthier and has committed to making healthy eating and exercise an integral part of his life. He even ran a marathon.
