A panniculectomy is primarily focused on removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, addressing the “pannus” or apron of tissue that may hang over the pubic area. This procedure is often recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or have excess skin due to other factors. On the other hand, a tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, not only removes excess skin and fat but also tightens the underlying abdominal muscles to achieve a more toned and contoured appearance. This procedure is suitable for individuals who desire both skin tightening and muscle repair. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will evaluate your specific concerns and goals, recommending the most appropriate procedure to help you achieve the desired results.
