A pannilectomy procedure, also known as a panniculectomy, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen. This procedure is commonly sought by patients who have experienced significant weight loss, often after bariatric surgery or through diet and exercise. The excess skin and fat in this area can lead to discomfort, hygiene issues, and difficulties with clothing and mobility. During a pannilectomy, an incision is made along the lower abdomen, allowing the surgeon to excise the excess tissue. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and the incision is carefully closed to minimize scarring. It’s important to consult with a qualified plastic surgeon who will evaluate your specific needs and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual circumstances.
