Was recommended by my surgeon that I could do either a fdl or an ETT. He did say that there’s a possibility that I may have extra skin left up top possibly if I chose ETT. What do you think? I really don’t want the vertical scar but I also don’t want too have extra skin. Your thoughts?! I’m 5’7” 153lbs and I’m 36 years old.

Answer: Tummy tuck Based on your photos you do not need a fleur de lis approach. You should have a nice result from a full tummy tuck with liposuction for added contouring. This will remove excess fat and skin as well as repair muscle wall laxity.

Answer: Tummy tuck with mesh As others have stated, you do not need a fleur de lis tummy tuck. I would begin with a routine tummy tuck with possible lateral liposuction at the same time. After this, if you are still dissatisfied, you can consider extension such as circumferential lift. The technique I recommend is abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement, if you are not planning future pregnancies. The mesh creates a more hourglass figure by compressing the abdominal wall resulting in early satiety and helps maintain a reduced weight. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
