A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the pannus — excess skin and tissue from the lower abdomen. Unlike a tummy tuck, the panniculectomy does not tighten the abdominal muscles for a more cosmetic appearance, disqualifying it as a cosmetic procedure.
A cyst is a closed sac under the skin filled with liquid and/or soft or hard material. Cysts can be found anywhere on the body. Although they are often slow-growing, painless, and movable lumps beneath the skin, they can occasionally become inflamed and tender. Minor surgery can help the cyst from coming back. Surgery will remove the discharge and the sac that make up the walls of the cyst.
