Margaret,
I don't know if anyone has answered your question about the procedures you are approved for. (Excision, excess skin and subcut tissue (incl Lipectomy). I'm in college taking Health Information Technology (Medical Records), and wanted to let you know that Excision means cutting away or removing. Excess skin is the external layer of the skin, subcutaneous tissue is the layers of tissue beneath the skin, including lipectomy. Lipectomy means surgical removal of fat. Lipid means "fat" and ectomy means "removal of". I hope this helps. You should be pleased with this procedure. God bless you and give you a speedy recovery.
Mary
