Dr. Ed Pittman spent his formative years in Athens, Georgia. After completing studies at Athens Academy and the University of Georgia, he attended the Medical College of Georgia where he was inducted into the Medical Honor Society, Alpha Omega Alpha, and received the Merck Manual Award for Academic Excellence. Next followed a full General Surgery Residency at Wake Forest University Medical Center.
Dr. Pittman was then chosen for a Plastic Surgery Residency at the prestigious University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Upon graduation, he was appointed Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery, educating upcoming Plastic Surgeons.
Dr. Pittman has spoken at both National and International Plastic Surgery meetings on topics ranging from breast augmentation to cosmetic facial surgery. He has published numerous articles in the Plastic Surgery literature
A dream was fulfilled when Dr. Pittman returned to Athens in 1992 and opened his own private practice. Continually striving for excellence and optimal patient care, he founded Pittman Plastic Surgery, P.C. in 2001. This provided the area with the largest state-of-the-art AAAHC-Certified outpatient surgery facility devoted strictly to Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Dr. Pittman is described by his patients as artistic, warm, compassionate and a perfectionist. He continually strives to deliver optimal surgical results with unsurpassed patient comfort. He is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and an active member of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons and The Georgia Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Quality medical care is of utmost importance to him. As such, Dr. Pittman has served multiple times as Chief of Surgery and President of the Medical Staff at Athens Regional Medical Center and on the Executive Committee at St. Mary’s Hospital.
Dr. Pittman’s other passion is flying. As an instrument-rated private pilot, he knows the importance of careful planning and adherence to established safety measures. He carries these principles into his surgical practice. Dr. Pittman is married to Susan, an artist, and has two children, Laura, an interior designer, and Andy, an architect. Dr. Pittman is an avid Georgia football fan and also enjoys traveling, boating and saltwater fishing.
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.
Mommy Makeover is a customizable procedure to fit each mother’s needs. Some patients may desire breast augmentation to restore shape and breast volume, while others may choose a breast lift for sagging breasts or even select both procedures. Body contouring procedures such as liposuction and tummy tuck surgery can restore a flat, smooth abdomen. Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck) addresses excess skin around the abdomen and repairs abdominal muscles that may have separated or stretched during pregnancy. Liposuction removes unwanted fat from other areas of the body such as the arms, back, and thighs.
In order to determine treatment plans, we will meet with each patient for a plastic surgery consultation to discuss goals and concerns. Many mothers are concerned about undergoing surgery because they are afraid it may affect their ability to care for their children. Our medical team can help prepare an effective recovery plan and make patients feel at ease while making decisions about surgery.
The surgery takes two to three hours under general anesthesia at our private AAAHC-Accredited Surgical Center, which provides our patients comfort and convenience while avoiding a costly hospital visit.
“From the beginning, it was super easy. I was very uneasy about the process before Dr. Pittman took the time to explain everything. Before the procedure, during, and especially after, Dr. Pittman and his staff were there to support me. I definitely would recommend Dr. Pittman & his staff to anyone who was a great and caring doctor.”
