Panniculectomy for Minimizing Visible Abdominal Scars

When it comes to minimizing visible abdominal scars, patients often seek innovative approaches to achieve their desired outcome. At 'Your Clinic/Center', we understand this concern and collaborate with oncological colleagues to offer a pre-emptive solution for cancer surgeries. This pioneering approach has already brought significant benefits to our patients.

For instance, a recent patient of ours had undergone ovarian cancer surgery that left behind an up-and-down scar and distortion of her belly button. After consulting with us when she was cancer-free, we recommended a panniculectomy technique to remove the affected abdominal skin along with its scar. The result was a new appearance that restored her confidence.

This procedure is not limited to cancer surgeries alone. We also employ this approach for treating scars resulting from injuries and burns on the lower abdomen. By using a low bikini line incision, we lift and remove the scarred part of abdominal skin and pull down normal skin from the upper abdomen to replace it.

The benefits of panniculectomy in removing abdominal scarring are numerous. For patients who have tried scar creams and lasers with no improvement, this procedure offers a more effective solution. Moreover, our technique ensures that the new scar is well below the bikini line, making it easily concealable.

We have encountered this need in two specific situations: long up-and-down scars on the abdomen from exploratory surgery, most often for ovarian cancer, and burns that have left behind burn scars on the lower abdomen. Our experienced team of surgeons works diligently to minimize scarring while ensuring optimal results.
