Massive respect to this patient đź‘Ź
She lost 165 pounds — but massive weight loss often leaves behind something people don’t expect:
Thin, fragile, hanging skin that diet and exercise can’t fix.
After major weight loss, the skin doesn’t just stretch…
it changes quality.
It becomes almost paper-thin with poor elasticity — especially across the upper abdomen and waist — which is why a standard tummy tuck alone often isn’t enough.
A Fleur-de-Lis tummy tuck removes skin both horizontally and vertically, allowing us to reshape the torso instead of just flatten it.
[procedure: fleur-de-lis tummy tuck after massive weight loss]
[concern: excess skin after 100+ lb weight loss]
[who it’s for: patients with hanging upper abdominal skin + poor elasticity]
[why not regular tummy tuck: cannot tighten side-to-side laxity]
[benefit: restores waist contour + removes apron skin]
