Get rid of excess skin and fat hanging over your lower abdomen. Whether you’ve lost a significant amount of weight or are struggling with sagging skin, a panniculectomy can help you achieve a smoother, more contoured midsection.
A panniculectomy is a procedure which removes the fatty apron (pannus) that can form around our lower abdomen. Patients who are over weight tend to form this excess fat and skin which drapes over their pants line. Patients who have lost significant weight can also be left with excess skin in this same area. In both cases, this pannus can be heavy, interfere with clothes and activities and can be difficult to clean under.
In both cases, an incision is made along the lower part of the abdomen which is well hidden by most undergarments and swimsuits. In both procedures, the excess skin and fatty tissue of the lower abdomen is removed. However, the panniculectomy procedure does NOT include tightening of the abdominal muscles, repositioning of the belly button and does not improve the contour of the flanks or “love handles”.

A Panniculectomy is a procedure where the excess skin and fat, that creates a hanging apron around the lower abdomen, is removed. This procedure is typically performed in cases where there has been significant weight loss.
While an Abdominoplasty, Tummy Tuck and a Panniculectomy are often confused, they are different procedures. An Abdominoplasty focuses on the tightening of the abdominal wall, and the Panniculectomy focuses on removing the excess skin after weight loss.
The cost may vary, but in general, you can expect the cost to be between $8,000 to $15,000.
Most patients are able to return to work or school in about 2 weeks as long as strenuous activity is not involved. You will experience some swelling and bruising in the abdominal area, and you more than likely will have drains to help with excess fluid, as well. Full recovery time is expected to be around 6 weeks. Please follow all instructions for your aftercare provided by Dr. Polecritti.
