Will a Fleur de lis tummy tuck resolve the excess skin issue on my back as well as my tummy?

exemplary_force
49 year old female. lost 120lbs through diet & exercise alone. weight stabilized at 140 - 145lbs since May 2016. I stand 5'1" body fat is 18%. I have been told that a traditional abdominoplasty will not resolve the excess skin on my back, but I met a woman recently who had a Fleur de lis tummy tuck & her back looks amazing! (she had gastric bypass & is about 15 years younger than I) Will a Fleur de lis tummy tuck resolve both my abdomen & back excess skin problem?
