From what I understand the Pannie is just removal of skin and fat that hangs below belly button and Tummy Tuck is removal of above and below, and tightening of the muscles as well. I believe this is pretty close, but I'm not a doctor, so if I'm wrong I'm sorry...someone else will either confirm or let us know. Hope this helps and I hope I'm not giving you bad info.

You are correct. That's what I was reading during research the other day. Pannie just removes skin and fat. The Tummy Tuck the actually sew the muscles up to tighten them. They say that's why there's so much pain with the tuck verses just the removal of the skin and fat.
