What is a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
- The Fleur De Lis (FDL) Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is a surgical procedure to reduce significant amounts of excess skin in the abdominal area.
- The surgical approach involves bidirectional scars, one under the underwear line, and a vertical scar from the midline of the abdomen to chest wall.
- This allows removal and tightening of excess skin along the sides to help bring in the waist, which allows for tightening both horizontally and vertically.
It is usually performed after:
- Major weight loss surgery – where individuals are seekinga tighter upper and lower abdominal area and where weight has been stable for six months.
- Weight loss medication – where individuals would like to remove excess skin after weight loss medications (such as GLP-1 inhibitors) and where their weight has been stable for at least six months.
- Functional issues – where individuals are experiencing skin infections or other functional issues due to excess skin that impacts showering, hygiene and daily life.
A Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) requires a minimum two-night hospital stay and is performed under general anaesthetic at Westmead Private Hospital or Norwest Private Hospital.
