Body Procedure

Pre Operative Question Answer

Who is a good candidate for a pannilectomy?

A pannilectomy, also known as a lower body lift, is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen and back. It is typically recommended for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in loose, sagging skin in the abdominal and lower back region. Good candidates for a pannilectomy are those who have achieved a stable weight and are in overall good health. Age is not a restrictive factor, as long as the patient falls within the age range of 25-54. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that a pannilectomy is not a weight loss procedure, but rather a way to improve the contour and appearance of the lower body. During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will evaluate your medical history, conduct a physical examination, and discuss your goals to determine if a pannilectomy is the appropriate procedure for you.
