FAIRFAX, VA: JOSEPH MICHAELS, MD

ABOUT PANNICULECTOMY

Panniculectomy is a transformative surgical procedure designed to
remove excess hanging skin and tissue from the lower abdomen,
typically following significant weight loss. This treatment helps
patients achieve a more contoured body profile and improved physical
comfort.

UNDERSTANDING THE PROCEDURE

The surgical process involves carefully removing the hanging skin, or
panniculus, that often remains after substantial weight reduction. Dr.
Joseph Michaels performs this procedure with precision, creating
horizontal incisions to eliminate excess tissue and create smoother
body contours.

BENEFITS OF PANNICULECTOMY

 	* Removal of hanging or drooping skin from the lower abdomen
	* Improved mobility and physical comfort

IDEAL CANDIDATES

 	* Individuals who have undergone significant weight loss
	* Patients with stable weight for at least six months
	* Those experiencing skin irritation or hygiene issues
	* Individuals in good overall health
	* Non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a panniculectomy, patients receive general anesthesia. Dr.
Michaels makes strategic incisions to remove excess skin and tissue,
then carefully closes the surgical site. The procedure typically takes
several hours and focuses on creating a smoother, more contoured
abdominal area.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Recovery involves wearing compression garments and following specific
post-operative instructions. Most patients can return to light
activities within 2-3 weeks and experience full recovery within 6-8
weeks.
