I'm thinking of having a fleur de lis tummy tuck bit the tall vertical scar really puts me off. I've seen patients who have only had the scar go up to the navel and no further. Does this work?

Answer: Tummy tuck candidate Dear stonebuster1, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination or at least tummy tuck. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Is there such thing as a mini fleur de lis tummy tuck? Hello and thank you for your question. Please post your question and submit photos if you can. I have not heard of a vertical scar limited only to below the belly button. Fleu-de-lis abdominoplasty aims at removing the excess skin in vertical dimension, and typically has a long vertical scar. I would seek consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full evaluation and advice. Best, Pejman Aflaki, M.D. Johns Hopkins-trained double board-certified plastic surgeon
