What Is A Tummy Tuck?
Excess skin and fat around the abdomen can be frustrating for both men and women, often due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, we offer tummy tuck surgery (abdominoplasty) to redefine the stomach area and boost confidence. This procedure is customized to each patient's needs. For less extensive correction, a mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen, removing excess skin and tightening muscles. Contact us to schedule your consultation, and find out which option is best for you.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Tummy tuck surgery at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery is done under general anesthesia and tailored to individual needs. The incision size depends on the excess skin. An extended tummy tuck, ideal for extensive sagging, uses a hip-to-hip incision. For less skin laxity, a mini tummy tuck targets the lower abdomen with a smaller scar. Both methods remove hanging skin and fat, achieving a contoured look. Contact us to schedule your consultation.

Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had abdominoplasty six days ago post gastric bypass surgery almost 24 years ago. This is something I've wanted to do for YEARS! The timing was just right, the facility was just right, the surgeon was just right, and the staff is just right. Altogether an awesome experience at GCPS ♥️
Dr. Leveque performed my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I am almost two weeks out of surgery and recovering beautifully thanks to the support from her staff and careful care instructions. Leading up to the procedure I was well educated by Dr. Leveque and the staff at GCPS. The surgery itself was just fine, I was well prepared and went home the same day. My incisions are remarkably small! I know they will heal well. My post op visits have also been so helpful. I had initially had a quote from another surgeon and opted to come here. I am so glad that so did.
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.❤️❤️🙏🏾
