People generally
lose a lot of weight after working out rigorously and changing their dietary
habits. However, they notice a sudden accumulation of excess skin and fat
deposits in low part of the abdomen. It resembles an apron covering their
genital region and goes all the up to their thighs. Doctors refer to it as
panniculus. They say it is also common in other individuals. These include
those suffering fungal infections, severe pain in lower part of back or skin
irritations. Even women recovering from recovering from childbirth or gastric
surgeries complain of this condition. In such cases, these suggest they should
undergo panniculectomy.
Alton Ingram MD – Is panniculectomy procedure popular among the
general public?

from Nashville in Tennessee. He has years of

such treatments when the need arises. In recognition of his contribution to the
profession, he has the honor of being a member of prominent medical boards.

This reconstructive
surgeon says many people often confuse a panniculectomy surgery with abdominoplasty. The procedures come under the
category of ‘tummy tuck’ treatments.
Both operations involve the remove of excess skin and fats deposit from
the region of patients’ abdomen. However, their objectives are different. Most
obese individuals can undergo an abdominoplasty treatment. However, doctors are
selective about those who opt for a panniculectomy.
Prior to the
operation, a patient should abstain from smoking, consuming certain foods and
taking medicinal drugs. The doctor supervising the operation starts by
evaluating him/her before deciding to go ahead. This expert then proceeds to
administer general
anesthesia to the individual. He/she goes on to make two
distinct cuts. One is from the lower part of the patient’s sternum up to
the pubic bone. Another cut is horizontal to the pubic area. The professional
conducting the procedure removes the excess skin and fat deposits from this
section.
In some cases, to
prevent fluids from building up, the doctor may insert a drain. The entire
surgery hardly takes 5 hours to complete. However, if it also includes abdominoplasty, the procedure can be longer.

Alton Ingram MD says
