Who needs a fleur de lis instead of a standard tummy tuck?

People who have lost a very large amount of weight and have loose skin across the entire abdomen, including the upper part and the waist. If looseness is only below the navel, a standard tummy tuck may be enough.

Is the fleur de lis technique safe?

In experienced hands and on a stable, healthy patient, it is considered a safe choice for the right candidate. Your surgeon reviews your health and skin quality carefully before recommending this more extensive approach.

What scars does a fleur de lis leave?

It leaves a horizontal scar low on the abdomen and a vertical scar up the midline, forming a shape like an upside down letter. The trade off is a noticeably tighter waist. Good scar care helps both lines fade.

How long is recovery for this procedure?

Because more tissue is tightened, expect to rest for the first week or two and return to light activity over three to four weeks. Most routines resume within eight weeks, with heavier exercise later.

Q: What is a fleur de lis tummy tuck?

It is a tummy tuck that removes loose skin both vertically along the midline and horizontally across the lower abdomen. This double direction tightening suits people with looseness all around the tummy after very large weight loss.

What is a fleur de lis tummy tuck?

A fleur de lis tummy tuck removes loose skin in two directions at once, both up and down and side to side.

It is designed for people who have lost a very large amount of weight and have looseness across the whole abdomen, not just the lower part. The result is a tighter waist and a flatter front.

Who it suits

People who have lost a very large amount of weight
Those with loose skin across the entire abdomen, not only below the navel
Patients with significant width to the tummy as well as height
People who accept a vertical scar in exchange for a tighter waist
Those whose skin hangs both forward and outward

How the procedure works

Your surgeon makes a horizontal incision low on the abdomen and a vertical incision up the midline. Removing skin in both directions allows the waist to be cinched inward. The muscle wall is tightened and the navel is reshaped for a natural look.

Approaches we may use

Muscle plication along the midline for a firmer core
Careful tension control so both scars heal evenly
Selective liposuction to refine the final contour

Recovery

Because two areas are tightened, recovery is a little more involved. Most people rest for the first week or two, then build back to light activity over three to four weeks. Full routines usually return within eight weeks, guided by your healing.
