WHAT IS A PANNICULECTOMY?

• A panniculectomy is a procedure that is more
  aggressive than the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty,
  as it constitutes removal of the apron of loose
  hanging skin in patients who have undergone
  dramatic weight loss of over 100 pounds and
  suffer from medical problems due to the excessive
  skin. A panniculectomy is not considered a
  cosmetic procedure as it treats medical
  conditions caused and complicated by the hanging
  folds of skin.
