I’ve been told I need an FDL 360 TT. Do I? (Photo)

Question

I’m also having a breast lift and don’t want implants, my question is do I need the fdl?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

I have answered many questions on realself from people who were told they needed a fdl tummy tuck. None of them
Needed it and you don’t either. Not with the additional scars.

Emmanuel Mallol Cotes, MD · Answer

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you a Tummy Tuck to get a flat abdomen and waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Kind regards,
Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

You do have a significant excess of skin in both vertical and horizontal directions. This is best treated with your current treatment plan. If not, you will still have extra skin in the middle that you aren't happy with in the long term. Best of luck.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

The fleur de lis tummy tuck will specifically target skin that is midline.  If you have a traditional tummy tuck, you may still have some laxity in the mid upper abdomen, but you would avoid the vertical scar.  An exam is needed to determine which is best for you.  I encourage you to meet with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you to listen to different opinions based on your surgical goals.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

FDL Tummy Tuck removes skin and tissue from both the horizontal and vertical dimensions. This will give you both vertical and horizontal scars. You will have to decide whether the vertical scar is worth the improvement in smoothness and contour. The FDL scar would not be hidden by bikinis or workout pants worn beneath the BB.

Hi and thanks for sharing your photos. Based on your photos, you need 360 tummy tuck and FDL( vertical tummy tuck). With this combination you can get slimmer belt region. If your blood count is ok, breast lifting and implant Vulcan be performed with tummy surgery. In second session your arms and legs can be operated.
Best of lucks.
