Tummy Tuck vs. Panniculectomy: Key Differences and Insurance Coverage

In this video, Dr. Raymond Jean from Main Line Plastic Surgery explains the differences between a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a panniculectomy. While both procedures aim to remove excess skin from the abdominal area, their goals, techniques, and qualifications differ. A tummy tuck focuses on cosmetic contouring by tightening muscles and removing excess skin for a more toned appearance, while a panniculectomy is a functional surgery to remove hanging skin that can cause discomfort or hygiene issues. Additionally, Dr. Jean addresses the important topic of insurance coverage: when a panniculectomy might be covered due to medical necessity, whereas a tummy tuck is typically considered elective and cosmetic. Whether you're considering one of these procedures for aesthetic or medical reasons, this video will help you make an informed decision.
