Understanding Panniculectomy: A Medically Necessary Procedure
Following massive weight loss, patients often develop an excess skin apron called a pannus. This hanging skin can create significant medical challenges, including:
- Hygiene difficulties
- Recurring skin rashes
- Potential skin infections
- Interference with daily activities
What is a Panniculectomy?
A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove the hanging pannus of skin. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, this procedure focuses specifically on medically necessary skin removal rather than cosmetic enhancement.
