Answer: Mini Tummy Vs Panniculectomy - trying to figure out what's best for me? The choice between a mini tummy tuck and a panniculectomy depends on your specific needs. A mini tummy tuck focuses on improving the appearance of the lower abdomen, addressing excess fat and loose skin. A panniculectomy, on the other hand, is a more extensive surgery that primarily removes the pannus, which is the hanging apron of skin and fat, often see in individuals who have experienced significant weight loss.To determine which procedure is best for you, it’s essential to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. They can assess your individual circumstances, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate option. Factors like your overall health, desired results, and the amount of excess skin and fat will influence their recommendation.

Answer: Choices in body contouring after massive weight loss. Congrats on your VSG and your weight loss. Anyone with significant weight loss (more than 50 pounds) will likely have too much skin for a mini tummy tuck. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in person. As a rule, most weight loss patients will be candidates for a full abdominoplasty or even an extended abdominoplasty. Below is an example of a patient with massive weight loss. Best,
