A fleur-de-lis tummy tuck<\/a> is a procedure that involves the traditional horizontal tummy tuck incision. However, it then adds a vertical incision up the abdomen and occasionally an additional horizontal incision at the top of the abdomen. Though, this second horizontal incision is not always needed and generally is smaller than the hip-to-hip incision. So, why would someone need a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck?<\/span><\/p>\n

The fleur-de-lis technique is not as commonly performed as traditional abdominoplasty methods. The most frequently seen reason patients undergo a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck is after massive weight loss which leaves copious amounts of extra skin across the entire abdomen.<\/span><\/p>\n

In these cases, a traditional tummy tuck would not suffice because it would leave extra skin in the upper abdomen. Therefore, the vertical incision is necessary to address and adequately remove this extra skin. For people who have lost hundreds of pounds and have large amounts of excess skin, the vertical incision is often less daunting than the typical tummy tuck patient.<\/span><\/p>\n
