SARAH W MD

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure focused on removing excess,
hanging abdominal skin (pannus) resulting from significant weight
loss, pregnancy, or both. This functional surgery addresses skin
redundancy that can cause hygiene challenges, skin irritation, and
physical discomfort.

COMPREHENSIVE CONSULTATION PROCESS

Dr. Holland conducts a thorough initial consultation to assess patient
medical history, current health status, and individual aesthetic
goals. During this comprehensive evaluation, patients receive detailed
information about the procedure, potential benefits, associated risks,
and expected outcomes.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Panniculectomy can be performed as a standalone functional procedure
or combined with additional abdominal surgeries like:

 	* Hysterectomy
	* Belly button hernia repair
	* Abdominal wall reconstruction

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING RECOVERY

Patients can anticipate a structured recovery process with
personalized care and support. Key recovery considerations include:

 	* Maximum discomfort occurs in the first few days post-surgery
	* Abdominal soreness and mild burning sensations are normal
	* Surgical drains will be placed and later removed
	* Compression wear (abdominal binder) required for 4-6 weeks
	* Recommended time off work: 7-10 days

POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Dr. Holland provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to
ensure optimal healing. Patients receive guidance on wound care,
potential side effects, and the importance of follow-up appointments
to monitor recovery and address any concerns.

CONSIDERATIONS BEFORE SURGERY

Patients should review medication restrictions and discuss any medical
conditions or concerns during the initial consultation. A thorough
pre-surgical assessment helps ensure patient safety and surgical
success.
