Relief From Excess Skin And Improved Comfort
After major weight loss, excess hanging abdominal skin called a pannus can cause discomfort, irritation, and difficulty with daily activities. Panniculectomy focuses on removing this excess tissue to improve comfort and mobility.
What Is A Panniculectomy?
A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure that removes excess overhanging skin and tissue from the lower abdomen.
Unlike a cosmetic tummy tuck, the primary goal is functional improvement rather than aesthetic contouring.
Why Consider A Panniculectomy?
- Reduce skin irritation and rashes
- Improve mobility and comfort
- Remove excess hanging skin
- Improve hygiene and daily function
- Enhance clothing fit
Who Is A Good Candidate?
- Patients with excess abdominal skin after weight loss
- Individuals experiencing irritation or discomfort
- Patients at a stable weight
- Healthy nonsmokers with realistic expectations
Recovery And Results
Patients often experience improved comfort and mobility after healing. Recovery varies depending on the amount of tissue removed.
