Finesse in Fleur-de-lis Abdominoplasty

Abstract

Body contouring for weight loss patients usually requires not only lifting but also some extent of central body tightening to achieve complete tissue readjustment. Fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty provides best vector correction with nice contouring results, especially for central body type patients, with superior waist definition with or without associated circumferential belt lipectomies. Special interest has been addressed on technical refinements to enhance vertical scar with neoumbilicoplasty as well as the mons pubis projection with marking and suturing refinements. Both the inner scar umbilicus and the monsplasty are simple, safe, and reproducible techniques, presenting low complication rates with sustainable and natural results.
