i have been doing research on both panniculectomy vs tummy tuck my situation 44 yr olds, mom of 5, 3 c-section, set of twins i have a hernia, which is giving me problems with digestive not able to BM (2 X's a week), lower back pain in legs. i changed my diet to fiber, exercising, drink 1 gallon of water, no sugar or starches. i seen my doctor about this matter and to me his not concern or thinks its not a big deal. i am not sure if the lack of concern because of my medical coverage(medicare).
Answer: Tummy Tuck vs Panniculectomy with Hernia Repair After C-Section Thank you for your question and photos. I am sorry you are experiencing some difficulty. I would urge you to be in optimal health before you consider an elective procedure of any kind. Looking at the pictures you've provided I think you would be much happier with a full abdominplasty, or tummy tuck. While both procedures you've researched address excess skin, a panniculectomy will not address the underlying muscles. Abdominoplasty will suture your muscles back to the midline and allow repair of your hernia. There would be no improvement to abdominal wall shape with a panniculectomy. I hope this was helpful.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Panniculectomy vs tummy tuck for me after 3 c-sections, a set of twins, and I need a hernia repair? Hello! Thank you for your question! Body contouring after scenarios such as yours is very common. You would be an ideal candidate for such and could achieve an excellent result. For semantics, a panniculectomy simply does a wedge excision of the overhanging skin/soft tissue of the lower abdomen (abdominal panniculus), mostly to ameliorate symptoms from it. Typically, an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) excises this tissue, but also addresses the upper abdomen, the abdominal wall via tightening, and the lateral flanks/hips to improve contour of this area. With the amount of laxity and excess skin that is shown and the likely spreading of your abdominal wall from your prior weight, a tummy tuck would be the ideal procedure for you. The hernia could also be repaired at the same time as this procedure safely and effectively. I truly believe that you would be satisfied with the results from this. Consult with a plastic surgeon well-versed in body contouring to discuss the various options with you and help you to decide which procedure(s) would be the right one for you. Hope that this helps - best wishes for a fantastic result!

Answer: Panniculectomy versus tummy tuck Thank you for your question. I concur with other surgeons that a full tummy tuck, hernia repair and liposuction of your flanks will give you a better result than a simple panniculectomy.
