A tummy tuck is a cute and accurate name for the Paoli Cosmetic Surgery procedure known as abdominoplasty. It is highly successful at reducing the belly bulge resulting from pregnancy, or weight loss since abdominoplasty primarily tightens the muscle and removing some excess fat. However after extreme weight loss for health reasons, such as in true obesity, a tummy tuck alone might not be sufficient.

Panniculectomy is the procedure that removes a large amount of excess skin and fat in the abdominal region and it generally extends all the way around to the back and below the belly button. This surgery does not tighten muscle, as in abdominoplasty, but may be performed after Exton Cosmetic Surgery abdominoplasty.

While a simple tummy tuck is a common almost routine cosmetic surgery procedure, panniculectomy candidates usually come to Paoli Plastic Surgery doctors due to a host of health issues, including back problems, skin breakdown and various rashes, ulcers, or skin disorders.

Many truly obese candidates who seek the panniculectomy procedure have fat extending down to their knees, over the hips, and up their sides to around their backs. These conditions cause panniculectomy candidates to experience a lot of stress to numerous areas of the body causing conditions that may interfere with their everyday quality of life , such as simply walking, standing, or sitting.
