I do like to be chunky. I just don't like the hang. It's hard to keep fresh and since I've had three c-sections, I have zero feeling in the apron area.

Unless you have underlying medical issues or issues relating to bariatric surgery, there would not be increased risk based on becoming pregnant after Panniculectomy. I say it all the time-wait until you are finished with childbearing to have tummy tucks, etc. If you gain too much...
A panniculectomy will only remove the excess skin and fat that is forming the apron of skin, and won't do anything for anything above this. Panniculectomy is usually for people who have lost 100 lbs or more relatively quickly and when you have a BMI of less than 30.
Thank you for your question and photos. Your expectations will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!
