UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY: SURGICAL REMOVAL OF EXCESS ABDOMINAL
SKIN

A pannus represents excess skin and adipose tissue that hangs down
over the genitals or thighs. Panniculectomy is a surgical procedure
designed to remove this excess tissue, which can significantly impede
physical movement and personal hygiene.

KEY DIFFERENCES FROM ABDOMINOPLASTY

Unlike a full tummy tuck, panniculectomy focuses solely on removing
the hanging skin apron without muscle tightening or tissue
undermining. This procedure addresses functional concerns rather than
purely cosmetic objectives.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR PANNICULECTOMY

 	* Individuals experiencing significant skin overhang
	* Patients with mobility or hygiene challenges due to excess skin
	* Those in good overall health
	* Individuals with stable body weight

SURGICAL PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The surgical approach typically involves a horizontal incision from
hipbone to hipbone, positioned just above the pubic area. General
anesthesia ensures patient comfort throughout the procedure.

POST-SURGICAL EXPECTATIONS

Patients can anticipate temporary discomfort, bruising, and swelling.
Most individuals can return to normal activities within 6 weeks, with
gradual improvement in mobility and appearance.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Not a weight loss solution
	* Requires commitment to healthy lifestyle
	* Best suited for patients with significant functional limitations

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Careful follow-up and adherence to post-operative instructions are
critical for optimal healing. Patients should expect temporary
restrictions on physical activities and follow specific wound care
protocols.
