Panniculectomy in London | Expert Excess Skin Removal at CREO Clinic

What Is Panniculectomy?

A panniculectomy is a surgical procedure that removes excess overhanging skin and tissue from the lower abdomen (the pannus). Often performed after significant weight loss, pregnancy, or other changes in body shape, the can help relieve skin irritation, improve hygiene, and restore comfort in everyday activities.

With experience in more than 4,500 body contour procedures, including many panniculectomies, Dr Omar Tillo focuses on restoring comfort and function while improving your abdominal profile. If you’re considering a panniculectomy at our clinic in London, your consultation will include a detailed assessment of your abdominal area, a discussion of your symptoms and goals, and personalised guidance on whether this procedure is right for you.

Why Choose a Panniculectomy in London?

Unlike a tummy tuck, a panniculectomy is often a medical necessity due to the complications excess skin can cause. Patients in London choose this procedure to:

• Excess skin folds that cause hygiene issues, chafing, or infections
• Restricted mobility due to loose skin following major weight loss
• Persistent skin irritation or discomfort caused by hanging abdominal tissue
• Many patients in London choose a panniculectomy to enhance their quality of life and regain freedom of movement.

Who Is a Candidate?

You may be a candidate if you: 

• Have significant loose skin in the lower abdomen due to weight loss or pregnancy
• Are in good overall health with a stable BMI (below 30). Use our BMI calculator.
• Have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results

If you have excess fat in the upper abdomen or want muscle tightening, Dr. Tillo may recommend combining your panniculectomy with a tummy tuck or liposuction at our London-based clinic.

Panniculectomy vs. Tummy Tuck: Key Differences

Panniculectomy: Focuses on removing excess skin but does not tighten muscles or remove upper abdominal fat.

Tummy Tuck: Includes muscle repair and fat removal, offering more abdominal contouring.

If you are unsure which procedure is right for you, Dr. Tillo will assess your needs during your consultation in London.

What a Panniculectomy Can and Can’t Do

A panniculectomy removes excess skin but does not: 

• Tighten abdominal muscles (as a tummy tuck does).
• Remove fat from the upper abdomen.
• Significantly smooth out skin texture.

For additional contouring, Dr. Tillo may recommend complementary treatments at our London clinic, such as a tummy tuck or abdominal muscle repair.
