WHAT IS A PANNICULECTOMY?

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure performed to rid of the excess skin around the mid section called the pannus. Typically the pannus extends around the abdomen to the back and causes skin irritation amongst other problems. The pannus is removed by making an incision similar to that of a tummy tuck and extending it around to the back of the body as far as the excess skin occurs. This procedure is performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia administed by a board certified doctor anesthesiologist. Oftentime, it is also performed alonside other body lift procedures such as a breast lift, breast reduction or thigh lift.

PANNICULECTOMY VS. TUMMY TUCK

Both panniculectomy and tummy tuck procedures are similar in nature, in that they both remove excess skin around the mid-section to achieve a flatter abdomen. However, a tummy tuck addresses concerns with muscle laxity (diastasis), while a panniculectomy only addresses the excess skin and tissue of the pannus. Depending on your goals, your plastic surgeon will discuss realistically which procedure is best for you. In some cases massive weight loss patients will first require a panniculectomy, followed by a tummy tuck to tighten the muscles 6 months to a year later.
