panniculectomy before and after

Panniculectomy before and after photos show the removal of excess abdominal skin, often from patients who have had significant weight loss. The procedure focuses on removing the "pannus," or abdominal apron, which can cause skin irritation, rashes, infections, and impact mobility. Before photos typically show patients with hanging skin or abdominal overhang, sometimes causing discomfort or hygiene issues. After photos demonstrate a flatter, tighter abdominal area with improved contour and relief from skin problems. For example, patients who lost substantial weight experience removal of lower abdominal excess tissue, with noticeable improvements shown several months after surgery. This surgery is functional rather than cosmetic, focusing on health and comfort rather than muscle tightening or liposuction, although results visually improve abdominal shape significantly. Such transformations can be seen in multiple patient cases documented by plastic surgery practices where before and after galleries display clear changes in abdominal appearance and quality of life due to panniculectomy.
