Panniculectomy

Panniculectomy

Panniculectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdominal area, specifically the pannus, which is the overhanging apron of skin that hangs down from the abdomen. Unlike a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), which involves the removal of excess skin, tightening of abdominal muscles, and repositioning of the belly button, a panniculectomy primarily addresses the hanging fold of skin and fat without focusing on muscle repair. This surgical intervention is often sought by individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, typically following bariatric surgery or through lifestyle changes. The excess skin left behind can lead to hygiene issues, skin irritation, and difficulty with mobility. Panniculectomy helps alleviate these concerns, improving overall quality of life and self-esteem. Before undergoing this procedure, patients typically undergo thorough evaluations by a surgeon to assess their candidacy. The surgery involves making incisions, primarily in the lower abdomen, to excise the excess skin and fat. Post-surgery, patients may experience a recovery period, requiring careful wound care and follow-up visits to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. While panniculectomy can offer physical and emotional benefits, it's essential to discuss the potential risks, such as scarring, infection, or complications related to anesthesia, with a qualified surgeon before making a decision. Patients should follow post-operative care instructions diligently to support proper healing and achieve desired outcomes.
