I am 51 yrs old. 2C-sections. The older I get, the worse this "Apron" becomes. In addition to the probs 25 yrs of extra weight in that area has caused my back (including a protruding disk) I'm not "living with it" as well as I thought. it also blisters/sores/irritated. I am not at my Ideal weight but am working on it. I have ZERO interest in being skinny. just want the body back that I had prior to childbirth. Just want the skin GONE & area to dry! Candidate for either? ..signed Trapped :(
Answer: Difference Between Tummy Tuck and Panniculectomy A panniculectomy ("apron removal") is a very limited operation that removes overhanging skin in the lower abdomen. A tummy tuck removes extra skin and tightens both upper and lower abdomen. The muscles are brought together where they belong anatomically and the belly button is repositioned. Panniculectomies do very little to improve the appearance of an abdomen and can have wound healing complications. A tummy tuck removes more skin than a panniculectomy.

Answer: Procedure question A tummy tuck is a cosmetic procedure. A panniculectomy is an insurance procedure that is performed for several reasons, mostly due to skin infections. A tummy tuck is the way to go if you a concerned about getting the best cosmetic result. Many plastic surgeons will not do insurance based panniculectomies due to the high complication rate. Good Luck!

Answer: The difference is that with a tummy tuck your often move the belly button and tighten muscle A panniculectomy remove excess fat and skin below the belly button. A tummy tuck also removes the excess skin and fat but usually moves the belly button and sutures tight the muscle covering. A panniculectomy take less than an hour to complete while-there is the added steps of moving the belly button and tightening the muscle layer with a tummy tuck. Most of the panniculectomies that I have done are on patients that are still over weight and want the hanging part of the skin removed.
