What is the difference between Panniculus Removal and a Tummy Tuck?

MyTime2
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 :(
