100+ lb weight loss. 99% sure I want fleur de lis rather than extended TT. I have loose skin & fat @ lower & upper abs. Which will give a better result with a tighter waist/hour glass. I eat clean & work out 5-6 days a week. I'm having a last minute concern. Will fleur de lis leave me with flat stomach, but still have bulges at my hips. I pushed my stomach to the side to try & see what I may look like. Will Ext TT leave me flat but straight up & down with no curves?

Answer: Fleur De Lis or extended tummy tuck / abdominoplasty? The simple answer is: go with what your surgeon feels comfortable doing. Both procedures are quite effective in body contouring after massive weight loss. Proponents of each procedure will push for one versus the other. The confidence of your surgeon should be the most important factor. Along that line, it is absolutely essential to work with a surgeon who has extensive and specific experience with massive weight loss patients.It is imperative that you seek the advice of a plastic surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and has extensive experience in tummy tuck/abdominoplasty. I wish you the best. Dr. Gabbay.

Answer: Tummy tuck In your situation an extended tummy tuck with lipo of the flanks and back may be the best option. See a board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of tummy tucks on patients who look like you and you'll be in good hands. Ask to speak to a patient who has a similar before and a great after. Don't be shy to ask, how many tummy tucks do you do a week on patients like me?
