During a panniculectomy, there is almost no limit on the amount of skin and fat that can be removed. In your case, skin and fat can be removed from hip to hip; this is what I would suggest for your abdomen. This amount of skin and fat can be safely removed in one surgery.

Read More »Thank you for your question regarding what to do with your abdominal pannus after a massive weight of 104 pounds and problems with ambulation. During a panniculectomy, there is almost no limit on the amount of skin and fat that can be removed. In your case, skin and fat can be removed from hip to hip; this is what I would suggest for your abdomen. This amount of skin and fat can be safely removed in one surgery. The amount of skin and fat can be removed is up to your plastic surgeon’s and your anesthesiologist’s discretion. The main drawback back to your panniculectomy would be your history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. Guillain-Barre Syndrome may cause some issues with general anesthesia. It is very important that you discuss these issues with your plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist ahead of time. However, I believe the benefits of your panniculectomy would far outweigh the potential complications of anesthesia for a patient with Guillain-Barre Syndrome . Thank you for your question regarding what to do with your abdominal pannus after massive weight loss, and a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome. I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. If you have any more questions regarding the panniculectomy, tummy tuck, extended tummy tuck, high lateral tension tummy tuck, abdominoplasty, lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy, please contact my office. Since the panniculectomy or extended tummy tuck are big procedures, please seek an experienced, board certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the panniculectomy or extended tummy tuck. Do your research. Make sure they have performed at least 100 panniculectomies or extended tummy tuck surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after pictures and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced, panniculectomy or extended tummy tuck surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state if you must. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen. (“Verified” Plastic Surgeon, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Fellow of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, American College of Surgery, and International College of Surgery and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery, American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery and RealSelf Hall of Fame.)

A panniculectomy is like a tummy tuck, in that it reduces the size of the pannus, or abdominal “apron” on the abdomen, which is excess fat in the lower abdomen that droops below the belt line. Those who have experienced massive weight loss might seek to undergo a panniculectomy to improve personal hygiene and increase self-confidence. This procedure does not tighten abdominal muscles such as a full tummy tuck. Mayo-Clinic trained, board-certified Nashville plastic surgeon Chad Robbins, M.D., F.A.C.S., will remove the unwanted skin and fat of the pannus using an incision that may reach from hip to hip. After the fat and skin is removed, the remaining skin will be stretched back into place and sutured. Recovery from a panniculectomy usually lasts a few weeks, during which time patients must avoid strenuous activity. If you have lost a large amount of weight but are left with a pannus of excess skin and fat, a panniculectomy can help shape your body to your desired look.
