Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
An abdominoplasty, or "tummy tuck", tightens abdominal muscles to improve the shape of the abdomen and waist. The procedure generally involves a low horizontal incision to eliminate excess skin and fatty tissue from the abdominal area, enabling the underlying muscles of the abdominal wall to be tightened. Liposuction is frequently included to improve the overall contour of the abdomen.
Abdominoplasty is particularly suited for men and women of relative normal weight with excess skin or stretch marks surrounding the abdominal area. The procedure is not a substitute for weight loss. Dr. Patterson tailors each abdominoplasty surgery to the specific needs and goals of patients throughout the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama.

Mini Tummy Tuck (Mini-Abdominoplasty)
For some patients, a mini-abdominoplasty, or "mini tummy tuck", is the best option to tighten abdominal muscles for an improved waistline. The procedure incorporates a short incision to eliminate excess skin and fatty tissue below the belly button. Dr. Patterson places the incision on the lower abdomen, below the bikini line.
Mini-abdominoplasty works best for patients whose primary concern is a flatter and tighter lower abdomen. The procedure is not a substitute for weight loss. Dr. Patterson tailors each mini-abdominoplasty surgery to the specific needs and goals of patients throughout the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama.

Arm Lift (Brachioplasty)
An arm lift (brachioplasty) tightens the upper arms to reshape the area from a patient's underarm to elbow. The procedure generally involves an incision along the arm to remove excess skin and fatty tissue. Combining brachioplasty with liposuction often improves the overall tightness of the arm.
Patients well suited for an arm lift include those with loose or flabby arm skin due to weight loss or age. Dr. Patterson performs brachioplasty for patients throughout Pensacola, Destin, and Gulf Shores.

Body Contouring (Liposuction)
Liposuction enhances the shape of various body parts by removing fatty tissue from problem areas unresponsive to diet and exercise. The procedure helps sculpt your body by removing unwanted fat in areas such as the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, calves, arms, back or under the chin. Patients achieve a more contoured body shape by removing disproportionate bulges. Dr. Patterson works with each patient to ensure their liposuction procedure targets the appropriate areas to produce superior results.

Thigh Lift Surgery (Thighplasty)
Massive weight loss, natural aging, and heredity often result in loosening of the skin around the thighs, buttocks, and hips. Thigh lift surgery provides firmer and more attractive upper legs by removing extra skin and underlying fatty tissue. Dr. Patterson offers several types of thigh lifts to tone and refine your legs. Whether it's your inner thighs, outer thighs, or both, a lift can change your appearance dramatically.
