WHAT CAN A BODY LIFT ACCOMPLISH?

 	* Remove excess skin creating smoother body contours
	* Eliminate stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise

	* Abdomen
	* Waist
	* Inner and outer thighs
	* Buttocks
	* Hips

six weeks.

 	* Are in good overall health
	* Have maintained a stable weight for several months

PANNICULECTOMY BIRMINGHAM, AL | DR. BRUCE S. EICH, MD

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY: ADDRESSING EXCESS ABDOMINAL TISSUE

Panniculectomy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to remove
excess abdominal tissue that hangs over the pubis after significant
weight loss. This procedure specifically targets the panniculus, which
can cause medical complications and discomfort.

MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR PANNICULECTOMY

Unlike cosmetic abdominoplasty, panniculectomy focuses on removing
excess skin and tissue. Key differences include:

 	* No muscle tightening
	* No additional liposuction
	* Potential insurance coverage for medically necessary cases

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR PANNICULECTOMY

Candidates typically include individuals who have:

 	* Experienced significant weight loss
	* Stabilized weight for at least one year
	* Excess abdominal tissue causing medical issues

PROCEDURE DETAILS

Panniculectomy is performed under general anesthesia in Dr. Eich's
accredited plastic surgery suite in Birmingham, Alabama. The procedure
involves carefully removing excess abdominal tissue and closing the
incision to create a smoother contour.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery typically involves:

 	* Three days of initial discomfort
	* Two weeks for significant improvement
	* Six weeks of restricted activities
	* Up to six months for complete healing

PANNICULECTOMY IN BIRMINGHAM, AL | EICH PLASTIC SURGERY, PC

UNDERSTANDING PANNICULECTOMY FOR POST-WEIGHT LOSS PATIENTS

After significant weight loss, patients often experience excess
abdominal tissue that hangs over the pubis, known medically as a
panniculus. A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure designed to
remove this excess skin and tissue, improving both functional and
aesthetic concerns.

MEDICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PANNICULECTOMY

A panniculectomy differs from a cosmetic abdominoplasty in several key
ways. While both procedures address excess abdominal skin, a
panniculectomy is more medically focused and typically involves:

 	* Removal of hanging abdominal skin
	* No muscle tightening
	* No comprehensive liposuction
	* Potential insurance coverage for medical necessity

INSURANCE CONSIDERATIONS

Insurance may cover a panniculectomy when the excess skin meets
specific medical criteria. Patients should understand that this
procedure is distinct from a cosmetic tummy tuck, which includes
additional aesthetic enhancements not typically covered by insurance.

SURGICAL APPROACH IN BIRMINGHAM

At Eich Plastic Surgery, the panniculectomy procedure is performed
under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical suite. The process
involves carefully making incisions, removing excess tissue, and
closing the surgical site to create a smoother, more functional
abdominal contour.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery from a panniculectomy typically follows these general
guidelines:

 	* Most discomfort occurs in the first three days
	* Significant improvement by two weeks post-surgery
	* Compression garments required during initial healing
	* Avoiding heavy lifting for approximately six weeks

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal candidates for panniculectomy include healthy individuals who
have:

 	* Stabilized body weight
	* Completed weight loss journey
	* Significant excess abdominal skin
	* Medically cleared for surgical intervention
