I would like to know if I am a candidate for this procedure. I had a c-section and hysterectomy now my stomach muscles feel weak and I’m left with a big stomach. I look like I’m pregnant.

Answer: How far does my belly have to hang to qualify for panniculectomy? (Photos) The panniculectomy involves only the removal of excess skin/fat that hangs over the genitals and/or thighs. It does address hygiene issues, rashes/infections, etc. When a panniculectomy is done, there is no tightening of the underlying muscles and tapering of the waist so you do not get the contour shape. Panniculectomy is only the removal of the skin below the belly button, so the best aesthetic results may be attained with a TT.

Answer: Panniculectomy Dear pink03color, In order to qualify for panniculectomy, your pannus should be causing you symptoms (most common are rash, repeated infections, etc.). If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
