Panniculectomy in Columbus, OH

What is a Panniculectomy?

Dr. Michael DePerro offers panniculectomy, a surgical cosmetic procedure that removes excess fat and loose skin covering the lower abdomen and pubic area. This procedure is ideal for patients who have experienced major weight loss or pregnancy, resulting in sagging skin in the pubic area. The surgery also tightens lower abdominal muscles for an overall sleeker appearance.

Benefits of Panniculectomy

• Tightened skin across the lower abdomen
• Restored muscles in the lower abdomen
• Removal of excess skin and tissue above the pubic area
• Lifted, more rejuvenated pubic area
• Long-lasting, if not permanent, results

The Panniculectomy Procedure

Dr. Michael DePerro performs panniculectomy in a state-of-the-art facility. The procedure involves making a small incision just above the pubic bone. Through this incision, the muscles in the lower abdomen and pubic area are tightened, and the pubic area is lifted.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the procedure. In some cases, patients may be asked to stay overnight for monitoring. Results are visible immediately after surgery, with ultimate results appearing once swelling subsides, typically four to six months post-operation.

Ideal Candidates

Excellent candidates for panniculectomy have moderate to severe loose hanging skin over their pubic area and desire a more youthful, tight lower body. Patients should understand the risks involved and have realistic expectations of the results.

Pricing and Financing

The cost of panniculectomy varies based on individual needs. Dr. DePerro offers personalized consultations to provide accurate pricing. DePerro Plastic Surgery accepts various payment methods, including financing through CareCredit®.
