Grading Your Pannus

I have read the descriptions of the 5 grades of the pannus, but I would like to see pictures of a grade 2 and 3 (particularly for a male). I tried google but can only find text, no graphical images. 

Thanks!

Try posting this on the plastics forum or men's forum. You may get more replies :)

Perhaps you just need to re-try your a google search because I did not have any trouble finding photos of both men and women, before and after a panniculectomy.

the grading descriptions are pretty clear, though, so I'm not sure why you need photographs (especially since "after photos depends a LOT on the surgeon who does the work):

- Grade 1: the panniculus reaches the pubic hair but not the genitals
- Grade 2: the panniculus lies over the genitals down to the thigh crease
- Grade 3: the panniculus reaches down to the upper thigh
- Grade 4: the panniculus hangs down to mid-thigh level
- Grade 5: the panniculus reaches the knees

We're being graded now? I wasn't told! I didn't study! I want to be graded on a curve.

Grimm I am glad I was not drinking my tea when I read that because I would have spit it right out laughing. I had to read this because I had not clue what a grade for a pannus was.

I had never heard of grading either. I figured yhere were two kinds, ugly and not ugly.

Or I can see my genitals or no I can't see my genitals.

Okay - you are all brats!  I'm on my way to an 11:00 AM meeting and I have the biggest SEG on my face right now.  How am I ever going to concentrate with those visuals practically 3-D in front of me right now!!!

Bwahahaha!
