General Practitioners

• Medical Weight Loss
  During this procedure, the abdominal wall muscles are tightened and excess fatty tissue and skin are removed to improve the body contour. The goal is a narrower, flatter abdomen. The procedure can be performed in combination with liposuction to further define other areas such as the flanks, hips, and lower back. It must be noted, however, that body contouring procedures are NOT a substitute for normal weight loss achieved through a healthy diet and exercise. The surgery takes two to three hours under general anesthesia at our private AAAHC-accredited Surgery Center, which provides our patients comfort and privacy while avoiding a costly hospital visit.

  Absolutely not.  Women may decide not to have their breast reconstructed for various reasons.  Every woman has their own goal in regards to their femininity.  Studies have shown that, women who undergo breast reconstruction have a significant increase in a variety of wellness categories including vitality, general mental health, and body image.  However, this is your journey and this decision rests with you.

  The amount of Botox you need for your best result will depend on a host of factors like skin quality, muscle strength, anatomy, and other factors. This is why choosing a medical practice that has experienced injectors is vital when achieving your best results. Our expert Botox injectors are at the forefront of training and expertise when it comes to producing quality results that reflect the person you are and not someone else.

• Brow Lift
  A Facelift (also called a Rhytidectomy) restores youth to your face, neck, and jowls by removing any sagging skin and major wrinkles. To address excess fat in the neck or chin, we will use direct excision or liposuction. A facelift can smooth out your skin and redefine your neck and jaw contours, providing a more vibrant youthful appearance. Facelift surgery can be performed along with other facial procedures, such as a brow lift and eyelid surgery to give your face a balanced, refreshed look.
• Eyelid Surgery
  Upper eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fatty tissue to correct droopy, sagging eyelids. An incision is hidden within the natural fold of the upper eyelid and extends slightly beyond the outside corner into laugh lines or other existing creases. Excess skin is removed and underlying muscles are tightened. Because the incision follows the natural contour of the upper eyelid, it usually is not noticeable.
• Liposuction
  Liposuction removes undesirable, subcutaneous fat in isolated areas that will not respond to diet and exercise. Liposuction is most successful in people with good skin tone, who are near normal weight but have localized fatty deposits. It is not a treatment for obesity, and only intended to produce a more flattering figure by improving contours and proportions.
• Breast Augmentation
  “Dr Pittman and his staff made me feel very comfortable. They explained to me the different types of breast augmentation and told me about the one that would be the best for my body type so that really helped me out.”

• Rhinoplasty
• Breast Reconstruction
  Breast Reconstruction recreates a breast mound in women who have had their breasts altered or removed by breast cancer surgery. The goal is to rebuild a natural-looking breast that is symmetrical with the other breast. Depending on the circumstances, Breast Reconstruction can begin immediately after a Mastectomy or as a delayed procedure, anywhere from several weeks to years following a Mastectomy. Breast Reconstruction typically requires more than one operative procedure, with additional surgeries to optimize symmetry or rebuild a nipple-areolar complex.

• Neck Lift
  “I’m a senior age professional. My business has expanded to different states, and I have become more involved with younger professionals. I felt I needed a younger appearance to compete and to be more confident. I went to Dr. Pittman for a neck lift and Juvederm Voluma dermal injections in my cheeks a few months later. This was a great investment for my business. Dr. Pittman is the best! His medical professionals and staff are also the best! I look fabulous.”
• Blepharoplasty
  Patients can experience swelling and bruising for one to two weeks. Our medical team will remove your sutures within five to seven days after your blepharoplasty surgery and provide further aftercare instructions based on your progress at your follow-up appointment. You Can expect to be reading after 2-3 days and back to work in 5-7 days. You can not wear contact lenses for 2 weeks or more following the surgery. We advise that you avoid strenuous activity for 3 weeks, and your bruising and swelling with diminishing over the course of 10-14 days.
• Abdominoplasty
  Abdominoplasty, or a tummy tuck, is designed to correct a protruding abdomen resulting from weak abdominal muscles, weight gain, or pregnancy. Excess skin and stretched abdominal muscles typically do not respond to exercise.
• Nose Surgery
• Breast Surgery
  Any mother will tell you that having children is one of the most fulfilling experiences of her life. While it increases her capacity to love beyond what she ever thought possible, having children also bring major changes to her body. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can sometimes leave women with unwanted fat, stretched skin, and sagging breasts that diet and exercise simply cannot resolve. Our surgeons offer Mommy Makeover surgery to help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy body and confidence. A Mommy Makeover typically combines breast surgery and body contouring procedures. By combining procedures, patients will not have to worry about multiple operations and recovery periods, allowing mothers to return to their busy schedules sooner.
• Body Contouring
  Yes.  Our plastic surgeons are experts in all forms of surgical body contouring.  However, not everyone is a candidate for a mini-tummy tuck.  During your consultation with your surgeon they will evaluate all facets of your anatomy and determine which surgery can best achieve your goals.
• Laser Resurfacing
  Laser treatment to the skin can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as other blemishes like acne scars. The new skin cells that form after laser resurfacing give the skin a fresher, younger-looking, tighter appearance.

• Dermabrasion
  HydraFacial combines the benefits of two highly effective skin treatments – chemical peels and microdermabrasion. A HydraFacial treatment is performed with mechanized spiral wands that generate a whirling force using VORTEX-FUSION TECHNOLOGY. This technology allows this treatment to remove impurities trapped on the skin. HydraFacial is a hydra-dermabrasion device gentler on your skin than a conventional dermabrasion tool.

Dermatologists

• Skin Cancer
  “Dr. Pittman and his team of nurses truly are lifesavers. After my upper and lower eyelid surgery, I convinced my father that he would be a great candidate for the surgery too. The day of his surgery he asked Dr. Pittman to remove what he had been told was a wart on his forehead. The wart turned out to be malignant melanoma. Dr. Pittman was so concerned that he called a cancer specialist at Emory and had my father set up with an appointment immediately. We are so thankful for Dr. Pittman and his crew of sweet nurses who have gone above and beyond to take care of our family. They not only are incredible surgeons, but they are incredible people.”
• Acne Treatment
• Chemical Peels
  A typical chemical peel treatment takes about 45 minutes to perform. We recommend scheduling a chemical peel treatment every two months until you achieve your desired results.
• Skin Care
• Microdermabrasion
  Chemical Peels are unique formulas that use specific types of acid (such as glycolic acid) to effectively remove the top layer of the dermis, where damage and aging symptoms are most obvious. The peel is a deeper treatment than a facial or microdermabrasion, so it’s a great option for patients with moderate skin issues like wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and more.
