I am 30, 5’6” and weigh 187. I recently lost 125 pounds w gastric sleeve and looking to get a TT, back lift, and breast lift with augmentation. I have a pretty challenging case because I have a roll of fat in my upper abdomen. I have seen 3 surgeons. to avoid an FDL, 2 said they can do an extended TT and a reverse TT in stages. 1 said he could do it one TT and is comfortable with lipo near the rib cage. noting the upper abdomen roll, which approach is best & would give a flat upper belly?
Answer: Tummy tuck I agree with 2 stages for the abdominoplasty and reverse abdominoplasty. You’ll be fine without the fleur de lys. It’s nit worth scar and potential wound healing problems

Answer: Body contouring This is a great question and indeed a challenging case. Since there is excess skin in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions, a Fleur-de-lis tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) would address the excess skin the best, leading to the best possible contour. If you prefer to avoid a vertical incision from the FDL, performing a traditional tummy tuck with a staged reverse tummy tuck can help remove the upper rolls and extra skin, however it will not take away the extra skin horizontally. Liposuction around the rib cage can be an effective tool to help with the overall contour and figure, but since you have extra skin and rolls in your upper abdomen, the liposuction will not effectively address the skin laxity and may not be the best option for you.

Answer: It is possible, but maybe give it a chance First of all, congratulations on the amazing weight loss! I think its important to understand why you want to avoid the Fleur-de-lis. When done well, the scar line can heal very well and is a wonderful way to tighten your trunk in both horizontal and vertical directions. It is extremely powerful in its ability to give you the flat abdomen you deserve. It would also certainly make the addressing your back rolls much easer when it comes to the midback lift by removing redundant tissue and tightening your trunk overall. To stage a reverse tummy tuck is certainly an option but again you're subjecting yourself to a similarly long scar, if hidden under the breasts. As always, speak with your board certified plastic surgeon and explore their post-op results from Fleur-de-lis, and I think you'll be surprised at how great they can look.

Answer: Flatter Abdomen Your provided pictures show that your case should be handled professionally, because of your skin draped situation. Abdominoplasty and reverse abdominoplasty can achieve successful outcome and is fine with fleur de lis. Keep it mind that you need detailed examination
