Is It Common for Belt Lipectomy with Fleur De Lys Abdominoplasty?

Melissa18295
Hi, I'm 28 y/o female. Had lap-band in 2005 and down to 170 lbs from highest weight of 316 lbs. I am looking into different surgeries and have had two consultations with board certified plastic surgeons. One surgeon recommended belt lipectomy only and the other said to include Fleur de lys abdominoplasty. Is this normal to do both procedures at the same time? I was a little nervous about the scarring with the Fleur de lys but all in all if it gives better results then scars are my last worry
