PANNICULECTOMY IN SUMMERVILLE, SC

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to
remove excess skin and adipose tissue that hangs over the genitals and
thighs following significant weight loss. This medical intervention
addresses panniculitis, a condition characterized by inflammation and
discomfort in the hanging abdominal skin.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

 	* Removes excess skin and fatty tissue
	* Typically performed after major weight loss surgery
	* Alleviates medical complications from hanging skin

BENEFITS OF PANNICULECTOMY

Patients experiencing panniculectomy enjoy multiple advantages:

 	* Medical relief from skin-related complications
	* Enhanced physical comfort
	* Improved body contour and appearance
	* Potential insurance coverage for medically necessary procedures

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR PANNICULECTOMY

Candidates typically include individuals who have undergone
significant weight loss and experience:

 	* Excess skin causing functional limitations
	* Chronic skin irritation or infections
	* Difficulty maintaining personal hygiene

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The panniculectomy procedure involves creating strategic incisions to
remove redundant skin and fatty tissue. The surgery typically requires
general anesthesia and takes approximately two to five hours. Unlike a
full abdominoplasty, this procedure focuses primarily on skin removal
rather than muscle tightening.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a recovery period that involves rest, wound care,
and gradual return to normal activities. Sweetgrass Plastic Surgery
provides comprehensive post-operative guidance to ensure optimal
healing and results.

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.
