Panniculectomy vs. Abdominoplasty

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

PANNICULECTOMY VS. ABDOMINOPLASTY (TUMMY TUCK) Many patients are confused as to the terms, Tummy Tuck, Abdominoplasty, and Panniculectomy.  In fact, all three of these are very similar operations.  An Abdominoplasty and a Tummy Tuck are both the same operation in which skin is removed after significant undermining of the abdominal wall and tightening and plication of [...]

Patients who present for tummy tuck procedures weekly to our office are evaluated for single versus double-stage abdominoplasty surgical procedures.  In general, larger women who have a significantly large abdominal pannus may require two-stage surgeries.

KELO-COTE AND BIOCORNEUM WITH SPF30 Dr. Linder is proud to be an advocate as well as a specialist for Kelo-cote on their recent infomercial now playing throughout the United States.  Because a disproportionately large part of Dr. Linder’s practice is body sculpting women, scarring is an inevitable concern, especially with the multitude of breast lifts [...]
