Have a Lower Belly Pooch? It’s Called a Panniculus & You Can’t Remove It By Working Out You might know it by another name—a pooch, a pouch, or even the tasteless FUPA. But this bothersome bulge has a technical name: panniculus. When loose skin is to blame for that particular bulge or area of discomfort, no amount of working out or crash dieting will solve the problem. Instead, the only solution is removal via surgery—usually a panniculectomy and/or a tummy tuck.

What causes a lower belly pooch?

A panniculus is defined as the apron of sagging skin (and sometimes a bit of fat) that hangs below the navel. Although many people, especially women, are prone to fat accumulation in this area, it can become quite significant after pregnancy or a significant weight loss. In these circumstances, the panniculus is mostly empty skin. In women who have been pregnant, a panniculus typically develops as the result of the natural expansion of the uterus. As the fetus grows, the uterus adjusts to accommodate it. When the uterus stretches, so do the muscles and skin surrounding it, leading to looseness in the lower abdomen. Over time, some excess fat can collect in the loose skin. However, the issue is generally limited to loose skin.

Should you remove a lower belly pouch?

Although the appearance of a panniculus can be discouraging, and its presence can make it difficult to find flattering clothing, it’s often about more than just aesthetics. In severe cases, the panniculus (or more specifically, the area beneath it) can become susceptible to skin irritation and infection.

How do you get rid of a belly pooch?

So what can be done about a panniculus? Like other areas of the body affected by loose skin (such as the breasts or face), the abdomen can be “lifted” using traditional tummy tuck methods. Many people don’t realize that the tummy tuck can do so much more than simply flatten the abdomen. Take a look at some of our patient before-and-after photos to see more tummy tuck transformations.

Are you a good candidate for a tummy tuck?

If you’re interested in pursuing tummy tuck surgery to help address these issues, it’s important to understand the underlying cause of the problem. If you’re several months or years postnatal and you’ve generally resumed your previous healthy habits but are still bothered by the paunch, you might be a good candidate for a tummy tuck. It’s also important that you’re in generally good shape and at or near your ideal weight before getting a tummy tuck. Remember, this isn’t a weight loss procedure but an option for refining your figure and doing what hours at the gym can’t. Learn more about how to determine if you are ready for a tummy tuck in our related blog post. If you’re want to do something about that lower belly pooch, request a consultation or call us at (310) 784-0644 to schedule an appointment.

You may still be in the healing process. As time goes by, hopefully your waist will be much smaller. If your plastic surgeon used an "internal corset" you should expect a smaller waistline. The permanent sutures that are used to flatten and tighten the abdominal wall are typically placed in the midline. The rectus abdominis muscles, prior to pregnancy, are lined up immediately side-by-side. Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which is diastasis. The midline tightening sutures correct the diastasis and bring the rectus muscles back into a 'side-by-side' configuration, flattening the abdominal wall in the process. Although this midline tightening dramatically enhances the abdominal profile, it often does adequately address the fact that pregnancy can also wreak havoc on the waist, turning what was formerly an 'hourglass' figure into something that is more cylindrical in shape. For several years now I have been using permanent 'internal corset' sutures, placed laterally in the abdominal wall, that draw the waist inward and restore some of the hourglass effect of abdominal concavity at the waistline in frontal view. The addition of these sutures to midline tightening, and in some cases in place of midline tightening, has allowed me to achieve even more impressive postoperative results.
