The Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty is a specialised procedure designed for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss and are left with extensive excess skin on both the vertical and horizontal planes of the abdomen. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, this surgery addresses a wider area, offering comprehensive reshaping of the midsection. The procedure creates a tighter, more contoured silhouette by removing large amounts of skin and tightening the abdominal muscles, delivering transformative results for patients who require more than a standard tummy tuck.
Comprehensive Skin Removal: Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty addresses both horizontal and vertical excess skin, making it ideal for those with significant sagging after major weight loss.
Enhanced Body Contour: This procedure provides a more sculpted and defined waistline, improving the overall shape of the abdomen.
Muscle Tightening: In addition to removing excess skin, weakened or separated abdominal muscles are tightened, improving core strength and posture.
Boost in Confidence: Patients often experience a dramatic boost in self-confidence due to their new, slimmer physique and tighter midsection.
Consultation: During your consultation at iQonic, our expert surgeons will assess your body’s skin laxity and muscle tone. We will use Adoreal’s advanced Silhouette tool to help you visualise your potential results, and a personalised treatment plan will be created based on your individual needs.
Procedure: The surgery involves both a vertical and horizontal incision to remove excess skin from the abdomen and flanks. The procedure lasts around 3 to 5 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon will also tighten the abdominal muscles to create a firmer core.
Surgery Day: On the day of your surgery, our caring team will ensure you are comfortable and fully informed. You will receive general anaesthesia, and the procedure will be performed with precision to deliver optimal results. Post-surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery area before being discharged.
Recovery: Recovery from a Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty requires some downtime. Patients typically need 2 to 3 weeks off work and light activities, with full recovery taking up to 6 weeks. You will be required to wear a compression garment for several weeks to support the healing process and minimise swelling. Follow-up appointments at iQonic will ensure your recovery is progressing smoothly, and our team will provide guidance throughout the entire process.
At iQonic, your journey towards a more defined abdomen begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your body goals and assess the extent of your skin laxity, ensuring a tailored approach that aligns with your needs and expectations.
