Pannilectomy
I saw photos of people who had a panni and I am sorry to say it is not pretty as a tummy tuck. I went in for a tummy tuck after I had lost all my weight. Are you sure you are done losing. I would give it more time to get closer to your goal. Shop around. If you have insurance many will cover TT if you have rashes that are bothersome. I had a rash that wouldn't go away. It itched a lot. I would shop around for a better price with a good doctor. If it were me, I would wait until I could do it the right way. I have the pretties tummy in the world. Really my belly looks like a bikini model photo. No I am not bragging. I am actually amazed they took all that flab and made my belly so I didn't have a stretch mark at all. This is my own personal opinion. Unless you are 6 ft tall 185 is no way near goal. Work out get closer to goal and do what will make you happy in the end. You have a pani now and lose more weight you will have more flab and probably end up with another pani or tummy tuck. Sorry to give you bad news but the picture I saw many years ago, the lady was in your shoes. It was horrible. It looked like she had a shelf.
