"I would like to recommend Dr. Patterson for your plastic surgery needs. He performed a tummy tuck and liposuction on my body. When I first met him I told him I had lost my son and husband two months from each other. I wanted to make a change for myself. We talked about what I wanted and he did it well. As you can see, he has transformed me into even more of a Diva. Dr. Patterson can do the same for you. Thank you Dr. Patterson and your lovely staff. You were there for me when I needed you the most.❤️❤️🙏🏾"
"I am 7 weeks post op from an abdominoplasty and mastopexy performed by Dr. Patterson and his great surgical team. I cant say enough positive things from my initial consult to the post op care received weeks after the surgery. One important thing that Dr. Patterson shared with me in my consultation was the importance of allowing myself to heal. I knew this would be the most difficult part, but i listened to his advice and i am pleased with how my body has healed. I knew going in to the surgery that i would miss a lot of fun summer gatherings ( including pool parties and beach events) but i know i would not be experiencing the excellent results if i didnt listen to his advice. A great surgeon not only does beautiful work but also sets clear expectations for your recovery period. Thank you to Dr. Patterson and his compassionate team."
"A friend recommended Dr. Patterson for a tummy tuck. I've only had the consultation, but it was a great experience. The staff were very friendly and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Patterson was friendly, made me feel comfortable, and did a fantastic job at explaining the procedures, options, and methods. I felt very confident with my decision to schedule a "mommy make over" with him. He made clear, matter of fact recommendations that gave me plenty of information needed to make a well thought out decision. I feel the pricing is realistic and not inflated for the current market. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the experience and look forward to my mommy make over. I've no doubt I'll be just as pleased with that as well."
"I cannot rave about my experience with Gulf Coast enough. Everyone who I have worked with has been incredibly nice and professional. In my consultation Dr. Patterson took his time explaining the procedure, and did it very thoroughly. I really appreciated his transparency, because it didn’t feel like he was just trying to “sell me” he was very straightforward and open about every aspect. Walking out of my consultation I felt confident that he was the perfect surgeon for me, and he did not disappoint!My surgery went amazing!! I’m only 2 weeks post-op for an abdominoplasty, and absolutely love my results! Could not have asked for a better surgeon or experience!"
"Dr. Patterson and his staff are amazing! He did my tummy tuck and liposuction and my results are better than I imagined! He seriously changed my life and how I feel about myself. I will definitely be coming to Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery if I decide to have anymore plastic surgery in the future 😁"
"56YrOld Who Inherited Her Grandmother's ProtrudingStomach, Had 2Cesareans & a Hysterectomy in Need of a TummyTuck. Pensacola, FL - As young as I can remember, I've always had a protruding stomach that I tried to cover up with shirts. I even been asked when is my baby due! That can make for a very self conscious, insecure woman. The opportunity became available at the age of 56 to have a tummy tuck. I did extensive research and found the perfect plastic surgeon. Dr Nathan Patterson who amazes me with his brilliance and skill performed the perfect abdominoplasty on me and made all my dreams come true. I am now a 56 year old woman with a perfectly flat stomach.Updated on 21 Apr 2015:The importance of a nicotine free body is essential for the healing process after a tummy tuck at any age. I was concerned about the length of the healing process at the age of 56 and assumed it would take me a little longer. I also thought the pain level would be unbearable. I suggest to anyone prior to surgery to look up the care of drainage tubes after surgery on UTube which I was terrified of until I saw a girl demonstrate the post op procedure. When I woke up from my abdominoplasty I was in a compression garment with a drainage tube on the left and right side of the incision. My post op pain level was surprisingly low which I think was contributed to the skill of the surgeon. It is very important to go into this type of surgery knowing that afterwards that the less you do the less swelling you will have and the speedier you recovery will be. Don't forget ice, ice and then more ice. It will become your best friend. You may want to prepare something to occupy the time such as reading a good book and getting some really good movies to watch for the first two weeks of healing. You will need help especially if you have small children. It's imperative to stay off your feet for the healing and swelling process. I've had a remarkable speedy recovery because I kept standing and walking at a minimum for those first two weeks . Prior to surgery make sure you have at home plenty of ice, ice packs or refreezable gel packs. After two weeks both my drainage tubes were out, not in the same day and my stitches were out. The third post op week I started doing a little more but not over doing it and still using ice. So far, my recovery has been quick and the swelling to a minimum. Expect a significant amount of swelling to go down in about 8 weeks and the residual to take up to a year. I'm 3 weeks post op and have 5 more weeks . The third week I've noticed a remarkable difference each day. Just have patience with your body. Before and after pictures will be following about mid May. Like they say, a picture speaks a thousand words.Updated on 16 Mar 2020:Still have flat tummy and it's never been flat. I was terrified. For one thing I had to hurdle no more nicotine. After surgery give yourself time for the swelling to go down.I thought the drainage tubes would be a nightmare so I had someone initially do it but after the second or third day I started doing it myself because it was not a big deal."
