PANNICULECTOMY IN TUSTIN, CA | DR. MARK A. F. KNIGHT, M.D

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure that focuses specifically on
removing excess skin and fat from the anterior abdominal wall. Unlike
more comprehensive body contouring surgeries, this technique addresses
only the hanging skin and adipose tissue.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The panniculectomy procedure involves the following key
characteristics:

 	* Targets only the skin and fat roll on the anterior abdominal wall
	* Does not reposition or modify the belly button
	* Does not repair the anterior abdominal wall muscles
	* Typically covered by insurance in specific medical circumstances

SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

While not considered the ideal surgical option for comprehensive body
reshaping, a panniculectomy remains an important medical procedure for
patients experiencing significant skin redundancy. It is primarily
recommended when excess skin causes functional limitations or medical
complications.

INSURANCE COVERAGE

Insurance providers typically consider panniculectomy a medically
necessary procedure, distinguishing it from cosmetic body contouring
surgeries. Patients should consult with their insurance provider to
understand specific coverage criteria.
