Huge Mass Underneath Stomach

Good day.

I am looking for a Certified Physician to perform a panniculectomy. I have suffered with this for years and as I am getting older; it has grown; it prevents me from being mobile and my hygiene is very hard to control.

Procedure: Panniculectomy
Location: Charlotte, NC

What you need to do is look in the internet for a surgeon in your local community that is certified or eligible by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, call and make an appointment for consultation and go from there.

Look up plastic surgeon I. Your area or if you are trying to have insurance cover it you would likely need to go to an academic center. Also will depend on health status and bmi.

Without pictures provided it is impossible to say what operation you would be a candidate for. The first step is to find a board certified plastic surgeon that will perform a full evaluation on you. I see you are in Charlotte, and that is a major city with very good plastic surgeons. I suggest that you do a search on this website for board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Best wishes !
