Hello! I am 21 years old and lost around 80 lbs. I’ve been to 3 consultations for my skin removal, and at two of which I was recommended a fleur de lis tummy tuck based on the fact that I want an hourglass shape. The scar is a lot to commit to, but I’m willing to trade the scar for a better shape if it’s needed! I was also told that I do not need lipo because I do not have fat to remove. Is this true as well? I do not have much loose skin in my lower back or buttocks area.

Answer: Tummy Tuck, Liposuction "Congratulations on your impressive weight loss! Based on your description and the photos provided, it seems an extended tummy tuck might suffice to achieve the desired contouring while minimizing scars. The fleur de lis tummy tuck is typically recommended for significant central excess skin. If you don't want it, the extended variant could provide the hourglass shape you aim for. Regarding liposuction, if you've been consistently told you lack the excess fat, it might not be necessary. Always work closely with a board-certified plastic surgeon to determine the best approach tailored to your needs. Best of luck!

Answer: Do I need a fleur de lis tummy tuck? Congrats on your weight loss! In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos - it appears that you would benefit from an extended abdominoplasty with possible Fleur De LIs. More photos are needed to review the back and the buttock.
