Pre Operative Question Answer

Can a pannilectomy address stretch marks or cellulite?

While a pannilectomy, also known as a lower body lift, can help improve the appearance of excess skin and tissue in the abdominal area, it is important to note that its primary purpose is to remove loose skin and reshape the lower body. Stretch marks and cellulite, on the other hand, are caused by underlying factors such as changes in weight, genetics, and collagen structure. While a pannilectomy may indirectly improve the appearance of stretch marks or cellulite in some cases, it is not specifically designed to target these concerns. It’s important to have a comprehensive discussion with your plastic surgeon during your consultation to explore alternative treatments or procedures that may better address your specific concerns related to stretch marks or cellulite.
