WHAT IS A PANNICULECTOMY? A panniculectomy is a procedure that is more aggressive than the tummy tuck or abdominoplasty, as it constitutes removal of the apron of loose hanging skin in patients who have undergone dramatic weight loss of over 100 pounds and suffer from medical problems due to the excessive skin. A panniculectomy is not considered a cosmetic procedure as it treats medical conditions caused and complicated by the hanging folds of skin.
PANNICULECTOMY Following dramatic weight loss, many patients are plagued by an apron of loose skin that hangs in the abdominal region. This condition can lead to numerous health hazards and often requires a specialized surgical procedure called a panniculectomy to correct
BENEFITS OF A PANNICULECTOMY An overhanging abdominal pannus often causes rashes and/or infections in the folds of skin that can make daily activities painful and difficult. It also poses challenges when fitting into clothing and can make intimacy difficult if not impossible, in addition to taking a large toll on one’s self-esteem. The primary non-medical benefits of a panniculectomy include improvements in body image and quality of life. A panniculectomy is performed on patients with the goal of alleviating the following symptoms: Difficulty performing daily hygiene. Yeast infections or cysts in the folds of the skin. Lower back pain. Inability to comfortably wear clothing. Rashes above the pubic area along the groin and hips.
