Panniculectomy in Nashik by Dr. Neha Jain Aher

What is Panniculectomy?

A Panniculectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower abdomen, typically after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Unlike a tummy tuck, which focuses on both contouring and tightening, a panniculectomy strictly removes the hanging “pannus” or apron of skin that can cause discomfort, irritation, or limit mobility. Dr. Neha Jain Aher customizes each panniculectomy procedure to help patients achieve a smoother, more comfortable body shape.

Why Consider Panniculectomy?

Benefits of Panniculectomy

• Improves Comfort and Mobility: Removes excess skin that can cause discomfort, skin irritation, and limited movement.
• Enhances Hygiene: Reduces skin folds that may lead to infections or skin issues in the lower abdomen.
• Boosts Confidence: Provides a more contoured lower body, allowing for improved comfort in clothing.
• Non-Cosmetic Focus: Unlike cosmetic abdominoplasty, a panniculectomy is primarily performed for comfort, health, and mobility.

The Panniculectomy Procedure Explained

Panniculectomy is a specialized procedure that involves removing the pannus, or apron of skin, from the lower abdomen. Here’s what it involves:

• Marking the Target Area: Dr. Neha will mark the area where excess skin and fat will be removed, ensuring precise symmetry.
• Administering Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.
• Removing Excess Skin and Fat: An incision is made in the lower abdomen, and the excess skin and fat are removed, smoothing the area.
• Shaping and Closing: Dr. Neha carefully shapes the remaining tissue to create a natural, balanced contour, minimizing scarring as much as possible.

Procedure Time

Panniculectomy generally takes 2-4 hours, depending on the extent of skin and fat removal, and is performed under anesthesia to ensure comfort.

Recovery and Aftercare

Expected Downtime

Patients typically need 2-4 weeks of recovery time. Light activities can be resumed after a few weeks, while strenuous activities should be avoided for 6-8 weeks.

Post-Op Care

Dr. Neha provides a detailed aftercare plan, including guidelines for managing swelling, wearing compression garments, and caring for the incision site to ensure smooth healing.

Long-Term Results

With proper aftercare and a stable weight, panniculectomy results are typically long-lasting, helping you enjoy a smoother, more comfortable lower abdomen.
