The pannus is the inflammatory tissue that grows on the lower abdomen. This can create an uncomfortable and sometimes unsightly appearance. It can also cause sweat to build on the underside, which leads to rashes and an unpleasant odor.
There are many reasons why an individual can develop excess skin and fat in the lower abdomen. The most common causes include age, pregnancy, prior surgeries, and massive weight loss.

Panniculectomy recovery
A panniculectomy is often performed as an outpatient procedure. However, depending on the complexity of your surgery, you may be needed to spend the night in the hospital for observation and optimal recovery. Your surgeon will suggest at your pre-consultation to have someone drive you home after surgery and assist you for the first few days. Heavy lifting and intense activity should be avoided for a few weeks after your surgery.
Most patients lose between 5 and 10 pounds after surgery, however, this is not a weight loss procedure.
