Female mid 40s. 5’2 180 pounds. BNo known health issues. Exercise around 90 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Weight loss plateaued for two years. I was at a plateau for a year before that then lost 10 pounds when pet died. 80 pound weight loss over 7 years. I know I need to eat less to lose more weight, but it’s a struggle. I needed steroid shots in my pelvic area last year. Not sure if the belly is causing the pain. My Belly is also causing self esteem issues, slaps around, and gets in the way.

Answer: Will surgery help? A panniculectomy will remove a small amount of the skin overhang. I encourage you to consider an exercise and weight loss plan to address your visceral (internal) fat. Once you have reached your goal weight you can have a tummy tuck for a more dramatic transformation. In my practice I help patients first address their weight loss goals through a personalized plan.

Answer: Belly overhang Hello and thank you for your question. Surgical removal of belly overhang also known as a panniculectomy can be helpful in removing the apron of abdominal tissue that forms with weight loss. Unfortunately as we age, our bodies lose the skin elasticity that would accommodate weight loss and the result is excess tissue or pannus. The contour improvement can be quite dramatic, but long lower abdominal scar is the price you pay for this improvement. I would recommend consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can better discuss options that are available to help you reach your goals! I hope this helps!
