Who Is a Candidate?
Patients of any age with an overhanging apron of skin on the lower abdomen may be candidates for this procedure. Symptoms may include:
Some patients with an apron of skin also may be candidates for a standard abdominoplasty. Patients with a lower body mass index at the time of surgery will get better results.
