UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY IN HUNTINGTON BEACH

When significant weight loss leaves behind excess skin and fat in the
lower abdominal area, a panniculectomy offers a transformative
solution. Dr. Steve Vu specializes in this precise surgical procedure
designed to remove the hanging skin, known medically as the pannus,
providing patients with improved comfort and body contour.

WHAT IS A PANNICULECTOMY?

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure focused on removing excess
skin and fat that hangs over the lower abdomen. Unlike a tummy tuck,
this procedure specifically targets the apron of skin that can develop
after substantial weight loss, helping patients achieve a more
streamlined physique.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR PANNICULECTOMY

Patients considering panniculectomy typically meet the following
criteria:

 	* Have achieved a stable body weight
	* Experience skin hanging over the lower abdomen
	* Encounter physical discomfort from excess skin
	* Are in good overall health
	* Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

BENEFITS OF PANNICULECTOMY

The procedure offers multiple advantages for qualifying patients:

 	* Improved mobility and physical comfort
	* Reduced skin irritation and chafing
	* Enhanced body contour
	* Potential posture improvement

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a panniculectomy, Dr. Vu carefully removes the excess skin and
fat through a strategic surgical approach. The procedure typically
takes several hours and is performed under general anesthesia, with
patients often discharged the same day.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery involves wearing a compression garment and allowing time for
healing. Patients can expect some initial swelling and soreness, with
full results becoming visible after several months. Dr. Vu provides
comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and
outcomes.

PANNICULECTOMY VS. TUMMY TUCK

While both procedures address abdominal aesthetics, a panniculectomy
is more focused on removing excess skin, whereas a tummy tuck involves
muscle tightening and more extensive body contouring.
