A pannilectomy is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and tissue from the lower abdomen. While every individual’s pain tolerance and recovery may vary, it is common to experience some discomfort after the surgery. To ensure your comfort during the healing process, your surgeon will likely prescribe pain medication to help manage any post-operative pain. It is important to follow your surgeon’s instructions regarding pain medication dosage and frequency. Your surgeon will closely monitor your progress and adjust the medication as needed to ensure optimal pain control. Additionally, they may also suggest complementary approaches such as icing the area or using over-the-counter pain relievers. Your well-being is a top priority, and your surgeon will work closely with you to manage any discomfort effectively.
