While excess skin removal and a tummy tuck do share some similarities, the results from both procedures are different. Excess skin removal, or a panniculectomy procedure uses an incision technique to remove the excess fat and skin from the lower abdominal area.
A tummy tuck involves a similar incision. In addition to removing excess fat and skin, this procedure also restores weakened muscles and tightens up the loose skin for a smoother, flatter stomach.
