Body Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

Will a pannilectomy improve body contouring and shape?

A pannilectomy can indeed improve body contouring and shape, especially in individuals who have excess skin and tissue in the lower abdominal area. This procedure aims to remove the pannus, which is the hanging apron of skin and fat, resulting in a flatter and more contoured abdomen. However, it’s important to note that a pannilectomy is not a weight-loss surgery, but rather a procedure to address excess skin and tissue that may be resistant to diet and exercise. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will assess your individual case, discuss your goals, and determine if a pannilectomy is the most suitable option for you. They will provide you with a personalized treatment plan to achieve the desired body contouring and shape, taking into consideration your overall health and aesthetic objectives.
