Absolutely, a pannilectomy can indeed help with hygiene and skin irritation issues. This surgical procedure aims to remove excess skin and tissue in the lower abdominal area, commonly known as the pannus or apron. By eliminating this overhanging skin fold, hygiene becomes easier, as it reduces the potential for moisture buildup and skin friction. This can significantly alleviate skin irritation, rashes, and fungal infections that may develop within the pannus. Moreover, improved hygiene can have a positive impact on your overall well-being and self-confidence. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will thoroughly evaluate your condition, discuss your concerns, and help determine if a pannilectomy is the appropriate solution for you.
