Panniculectomy

This procedure focuses on the pannus, an apron-like flap of skin and fat in the lower abdomen area that can hang down over the groin. A panniculectomy only removes excess, hanging skin. It is not a "tummy tuck", and there is no impact on weakened or separated muscles in the abdominal wall.

It is considered a functional procedure, as it addresses skin rashes, sores, and irritation.
