Hanging Pannus

Description

A "hanging pannus," also known as an abdominal apron, apron belly, panniculus, or mother’s apron, describes an overhanging layer of loose skin and fat that extends from the lower abdomen—often following weight changes, pregnancy, or rapid weight loss. This pronounced belly overhang not only impacts confidence and appearance, but can lead to daily discomfort, skin rashes, recurring infections, and difficulty with mobility. Many individuals search for solutions using terms like "stomach overhang," "belly apron," or "pannus removal surgery" as this excess tissue can interfere with exercise, personal hygiene, and self-esteem. At our renowned Korean medical centers, specialized procedures like panniculectomy and tummy tuck surgery help patients overcome the challenges of a hanging pannus, restoring comfort, confidence, and overall health for a brighter, more active future.
