Answer: Tummy Tuck verses Pannicolectomy This decision is based on the results you want to achieve and what your final goal is. An abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) consists of removal of the excess skin, the suturing of the internal abdominal muscles helping to elevate the abdominal hernia tendency issue, and if Dr. Lane Smith was doing this procedure he would recommend liposuction of the skin flap that remains, provided you meet the criteria The final result would be a flat tummy with a resolved hernia which would be repaired during surgery as well. The panniculectomy only removes the skin flap not fixing the internal problem of a weak abdominal wall which causes abdominal hernias. When women have children those muscles separate and without suturing them together the mommy stance remains. The mommy stance is what causes the protruding belly appearance. An abdominalplasty can correct that appearance where as a panniculectomy cannot.

Answer: Get the medical stuff figured out first Thank you for your question.I would get your medical problems related to your bowls figured out before undergoing an elective procedure.After having kids your abdominal muscles stretch and therefore I believe an abdominoplasty where those muscles are put back in the midline is a better option than removing skin alone in your case.Get the medical stuff figured out first though.
