Would the FDL tummy tuck yield the best results?
Answer: Abdomen You already have a vertical scar, so the fleur de lis tummy tuck would work well to help pulled your abdomen in as well as remove the excess inferiorly. However, just based on your one photo, the regular tuck would still do quite a lot for you.

Answer: Considering options An in person evaluation is needed to determine what approach is best for you. A fleur de lis tummy tuck is for patients who have loose skin on the upper abdomen that would not be appropriately addressed through a standard tummy tuck. I've included a video describing the various approaches that I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Visceral fat The main issue if your abdomen is the visceral fat which make you look protruding and no procedure will make you look flat. It will be imperative to lose weight until you reach BMI 27-28 and then most likely you will be candidate for a Tummy tuck to remove the saggy skin hanging and the Fleur de Lis will remove the excess of width and taking advantage the vertical scar you already have. You will be candidate as well to do Muscle repair to create a flat abdomen and smaller waistline, mons lift and reduction. In the next future a breast lift and reduction will help to create balance and smaller upper body. Be encouraged. Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Tummytuck Options I appreciate your concerns but it does not appear that you need a Fleur de Lis Tummytuck to accomplish your goal of optimal Tummytuck result. Traditional Tummytuck with extension of the incision slightly will allow removal of redundant skin of your abdomen and flank regions and this would avoid the vertical scar that would be left after a fleur-de-lis Tummytuck. Come see me or another board-certified plastic surgeon in our area to explore the best options for you. Good luck.
