Panniculectomy in Fayetteville, NY | Dr. Saira Saini

Understanding Panniculectomy

A panniculectomy targets the pannus, a fold of fatty tissue and skin that hangs over the thighs and groin. This procedure addresses a challenging cosmetic condition that often resists diet and exercise efforts.

What is a Panniculectomy?

Often referred to as an "apron fold," the pannus is the lower half of the abdomen. When excess fat and skin cause this area to droop over the groin and thighs, it can create both aesthetic and hygienic challenges.

Procedure Details

Unlike a full abdominoplasty, panniculectomy focuses exclusively on removing the lower abdominal skin and fat. The typical incision pattern extends from hip bone to hip bone above the pubic area.

Ideal Candidates

• Individuals with protruding pannus interfering with daily activities
• Patients in good overall health
• Those with realistic surgical expectations
• Not a weight loss solution

Recovery Considerations

Recovery varies by individual. Dr. Saini provides personalized aftercare instructions and guidance on expected healing timelines during the initial consultation.
