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.
