A panniculectomy is a procedure that is commonly done at the same time an abdominoplasty is taking place. This surgery is performed to remove excess fat and skin below the belly button and around the back.
A candidate for panniculectomy would be one that usually suffers from obesity. These patients have fat that around the hips, back, and sometimes even extends down to the knees.
