Can any doctor do a panniculectomy?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This is a surgical procedure and therefore only a surgeon should attempt this procedure. Many general surgeons have experience in this procedure but as a whole, plastic surgeons are the most qualified to perform panniculectomies.
