I’ve lost 107 lbs without surgery and I’m stuck with a lower belly that won’t move. It hurts literally. Rashes that prescription meds aren’t helping, and it’s heavy that it’s hurting my legs when I run or walk a distance. Is it possible to have a panni with so much fat left? My weight doesn’t bother me right now - just that lower belly. But it is a nuisance and I’m tired of having to apply prescription powders and creams that don’t work.

Answer: Panniculectomy procedure or not I would recommend:-BMI as close to 30 as possible-Non smoking status-Best overall healthThe ideal procedure once these criteria are met is for a tummy tuck with liposuction and correction of diastasis recti.This should give you an excellent outcome after baselines are established.

Answer: Panniculectomy and abdominoplast You look like a good candidate for a panniculectomy which involves excising the lower abdominal roll and excess skin and fat. There may be some liposuction done as well. Usually with a panniculectomy there might not be a correction of any diastasis recti ( lax abdominal wall muscle layer) or as much liposuction as the primary goal is to get rid of the excess roll of skin and fat. This differs from a tradition abdominoplasty where there frequently is a repair of the muscle layer and possibly more liposuction. Either procedure can be tailored to the patient needs and carry a high level of patient satisfaction. Dr. Price
