Description

In this episode of Plastic Surgery 90210, Dr. J. Timothy Katzen and Ariel dive deep into panniculectomies—what they are, how they differ from tummy tucks, and who qualifies. Learn why insurance may cover a panniculectomy, the role documentation plays in approval, and hear powerful patient stories, including one who had 72 pounds of skin removed. This is a must-watch for post-weight-loss patients and anyone exploring reconstructive options after massive weight loss. Discover the functional benefits, recovery expectations, and how to get started.
