This 59 year-old woman from Zanesville, Ohio wanted to “get rid of excess hanging skin which was causing severe skin breakdown and foul odors.” Dr. Lichten performed a panniculectomy (which is a very different operation from an abdominoplasty) and removed 21 lbs of skin from her lower abdomen. She is ”very happy! I can move much better and I can wear fitting clothes. I have balance now – really set me free from the pain of the skin issues.”
