Typical candidate for panniculectomy

A typical panniculectomy candidate is one who
• Has stabilized their weight at least for a year after significant weight loss either through diet or surgery
• Has allowed at least one year after their gastric bypass surgery or lap band surgery so that the health problems associated with obesity have subsided
• Is participating in a proper dietary and exercise plan
• Has post-pregnancy issues like inordinate fat localized below the belly button
• Suffers from health issues such as back problems, the breakdown of skin, rashes. ulcers, or skin disorders because of fat extending as low as the knees, over the hips, and around the back making everyday activities like walking, standing, or sitting very painful

The focus of panniculectomy is to address skin problems and not the countour of the belly. So, after surgery, these patients have less skin problems but have little improvement in the contour of their bellies.

Medical Tourism is the act of traveling abroad to receive medical, dental and cosmetic care. Medical Tourism is also called as Medical Travel, Health Tourism, Health Travel and Medical Value Travel. Significantly lower costs for best practice care is usually the primary motivation although some medical tourists go abroad for immediate availability of procedures and unavailable treatments. Patients frequently take advantage of the opportunity to vacation and tour inexpensively in the country they are visiting.
