Having lost weight and having 3 children my poor tum is in need! Having had one consultation I was informed the only option for me was no lipo and to have a muscle repair (I have a 4cm gap) and I have a fleur di lys style tummy tuck. I really don't want this style - is it possible given my pictures that a standard tummy tuck would give good results?
Answer: Am I a Tummy Tuck Candidate? Dear glitter40,Thank you for your question. I am not as absolute as some of the people who have responded, I do use Fleur de Lys techniques on massive weight loss patients...otherwise the result does not end up looking goof. In your case, however, you should be fine with a standard tummy tuck and flank liposuction. Consult with another board certified plastic surgeon and get a second opinion after an in person exam. Any responses you get on this forum are preliminary and incomplete assessments as we don't have the benefit of examining you.Good luck,Nirmal R. Nathan, M.D.

Answer: Standard abdominoplasty with liposuction thanks for the question and sharing the photographs. You will benefit from an abdominoplasty procedure. A fleur de lys procedure gives good result in massive weight loss cased but gives midline scar. You can get good results with a standard abdominoplasty with muscle tightening and liposuction of the flanks. this will save you a midline scar which majority of the patients do not like at all.

Answer: Regular TT It appears that you will do well with routine TT with possible additional liposuction to sculpt you 360 degrees. Most who have the fleur de lis have had significant weight loss often 50-100 plus pounds.Good luck and see a few board certified plastic surgeons in your area>

Answer: Tummy tuck In thirty years of practice I have never done a fleur de lys tummy tuck. You’re not even close to needing one. A standard tummy tuck will work just fine. Get another opinion.
