Redefining What’s Possible in Modern Aesthetic Care

At Plastic Surgical Associates in Fort Collins, contouring the thighs and knees is both an art and a science. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Diane Duncan combines precision techniques and regenerative innovation to reshape, tighten, and refine the lower body. Serving Denver, Fort Collins, and surrounding areas, our practice focuses on natural-looking improvements: creating smoother contours, enhanced symmetry, and renewed confidence in every patient.

What Is Thigh and Knee Contouring?

Thigh and knee contouring is a customized treatment that targets stubborn fat, skin laxity, and uneven tone in the lower body. Using energy-based, minimally invasive, or surgical methods, Dr. Duncan restores balance and smoothness while enhancing overall leg proportion. Contouring of the thighs and knees can address:

  • Stubborn fat deposits that resist diet and exercise
  • Loose or sagging skin around the inner or outer thighs
  • Irregular contour or texture around the knees
  • Imbalanced proportions between the thighs and lower legs
  • A desire for smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking legs

Everyone is incredibly nice and welcoming, and they were patient with all of my questions. My body looks as well as it should 6 weeks after surgery and I can't wait to see the final results in several months. I would definitely choose her again.”

NEO resolving chronic back pain

“I had chronic back pain before I started EmSculpt Neo treatment. I could never bend over without having a lot of pain. Now, even three months after treatment, I can move freely without issue! I can lie on the floor or the couch, do workouts, and stand for long periods of time without any back issues whatsoever. I highly recommend this treatment.”

I immediately felt comfortable

Most of my life, I was happy with my C-cup breast size. But after having four children and turning 41, my breasts were small and sagging and barely an A-cup! I made a consultation appointment with Dr. Duncan because of her 20+ years of experience, and at my initial consultation, I immediately felt comfortable. Dr. Duncan listened to me and took the time to answer all of my questions. I consulted with two other plastic surgeons, who both recommended an implant size larger than that of Dr. Duncan. I would have been very unhappy with breasts larger than I have now!! I definitely made the right choice in selecting Dr. Duncan for my breast augmentation.

“From the beginning to the end, my experience with Dr. Duncan and staff was over-the-top exceptional. Everyone was helpful, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I feel the work I had done was perfect and that Dr. Duncan achieved a very natural look for my body. I highly recommend PSA and will be visiting them again in the near future for other procedures.”

Everything went smoothly and healed up great

“I had a rhinoplasty with Dr. Duncan about a month and a half ago. Everything went smoothly and healed up great! I had to get a septoplasty as well with a different doctor, and she was so great with accommodating for that. Little to no bruising anywhere, just a scar where my nose was opened, but with scar cream it is fading slowly. I love my new nose!”

Recovery and Results Overview

Most patients experience mild swelling or bruising for several days, depending on the treatment method. Minimally invasive procedures typically require only a few days of downtime, while surgical options may take slightly longer. Results begin to appear as swelling subsides, with full improvement visible within a few months. The outcome is a sleeker, firmer, and more youthful leg contour that enhances your overall proportions.
