PANNICULECTOMY CHARLESTON, SC | SWEETGRASS PLASTIC SURGERY SPA

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
address excess skin and adipose tissue that develops following
significant weight loss. At Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery, the procedure
focuses on removing the hanging skin, or "apron," that can cause
medical and aesthetic concerns for post-bariatric surgery patients.

WHAT IS PANNICULECTOMY?

Panniculectomy targets panniculitis, a condition where excess
abdominal skin hangs over the genitals and thighs, causing
inflammation, discomfort, and potential hygiene issues. Unlike a
standard abdominoplasty, this procedure specifically removes the
problematic skin tissue without extensive muscle reconstruction.

BENEFITS OF PANNICULECTOMY

 	* Medical symptom relief from panniculitis
	* Improved physical comfort
	* Enhanced body contour
	* Potential insurance coverage
	* Increased self-confidence

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Panniculectomy is most suitable for individuals who have undergone
significant weight loss and experience excess, overhanging skin.
Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight,
and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

The panniculectomy procedure typically takes two to five hours and
requires general anesthesia. Surgeons create carefully placed
incisions to remove excess skin, creating a smoother, more refined
abdominal contour. Patients are advised to be non-smokers and in good
health prior to surgery.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery varies by individual but generally involves several weeks of
reduced activity. Patients can expect some initial discomfort,
swelling, and temporary movement restrictions. Following
post-operative instructions carefully ensures optimal healing and
results.
