Massive weight loss, defined as loss of 50 percent of excess weight, often results in laxity and redundancy of the abdominal skin, causing disabling rashes, pain, physical limitation, back strain, and cosmetic deformity. The heavier the panniculus, the more marked the symptoms. Panniculectomy can treat these symptoms, but the approach must be customized because of complex medical and surgical histories related to obesity and the size of the panniculus. The aim of this study was to analyze a series of massive panniculectomies greater than 10 pounds following massive weight loss and to investigate the outcomes achieved.
