Fleur De Lis Before and After

Restore Your Abdomen After Major Weight Loss or Extreme Body Changes with Fleur De Lis Surgery

The Fleur de Lis abdominoplasty is an advanced surgical procedure derived from the circumferential abdominoplasty, designed to remove excess abdominal skin and fat in patients with significant loose skin, especially after major weight loss.

Unlike circumferential abdominoplasty—which only uses a horizontal incision—this technique adds a vertical incision, allowing skin removal and tissue tightening both horizontally and vertically, achieving a flatter, firmer abdomen with improved contour.

This technique is especially recommended when skin laxity occurs in multiple directions and cannot be adequately corrected with conventional methods.

FAQ

What is the difference between Fleur de Lis and circumferential abdominoplasty?

The main difference is the amount and direction of skin removed.

  • Circumferential abdominoplasty removes skin and tightens the abdomen horizontally only.
  • Fleur de Lis adds a vertical incision, allowing removal of skin along the vertical axis as well.

Fleur de Lis is ideal for patients with:

  • Severe skin laxity or excess skin in multiple directions.
  • Significant weight loss.
  • Multiple abdominal folds.

Cases where circumferential abdominoplasty would not achieve complete results.

How much does Fleur de Lis cost?

Prices start at $7,999 USD but may vary depending on the degree of laxity, surgical time, and combination with other procedures.
Soulya offers custom packages, financing options, and different hospital alternatives. A precise estimate is provided during your consultation.

Benefits and Considerations of Fleur de Lis

Benefits:

  • Removes large amounts of excess skin.
  • Significantly improves abdominal contour.
  • Corrects severe laxity in two directions.
  • Allows repair of rectus diastasis (muscle separation).
  • Highly satisfactory results for post-weight-loss patients.
  • Increases self-esteem, comfort, and mobility.
  • Provides more harmonious results for patients with vertical and horizontal redundant skin.

Considerations:

  • Leaves a vertical scar, which usually fades over time. Soulya provides protocols and treatments to optimize scar appearance.
  • Recovery may be longer than conventional abdominoplasty.
  • Not suitable for patients with minimal laxity; requires personalized assessment.
  • Our team evaluates every case carefully to ensure honest, safe, and personalized recommendations.

Who is a good candidate for Fleur de Lis?

  • Patients with weight loss of 20–30 kg or more.
  • Individuals with severe abdominal laxity in multiple directions.
  • Post-bariatric surgery patients.
  • Slim patients with significant excess skin due to genetics or extreme body changes.
  • Women with multiple pregnancies or extreme body changes who have excess skin that cannot be corrected with traditional techniques.
  • People with pronounced abdominal folds or redundant skin in the central abdomen.

This procedure is not intended for those seeking a flat abdomen without significant excess skin; circumferential abdominoplasty is usually recommended in such cases. Soulya will help determine the best option during your consultation.

How long does Fleur de Lis surgery take?

Generally 4–5 hours, depending on the amount of skin to remove and whether combined with other procedures.

What type of anesthesia is used?

Performed under epidural anesthesia with sedation, administered by a certified anesthesiologist in a top-level accredited hospital.

Postoperative Care:

  • Wear compression garment for 8 weeks.
  • Drains for 3 weeks.
  • Light walking from day one to reduce risks.
  • Avoid heavy activity for 4–6 weeks.
  • Postoperative massages included in your Soulya package (per plan).
  • Close follow-up with our medical team.

How to prepare for surgery:

  • Complete all preoperative tests.
  • Maintain stable weight for at least 3 months.
  • Stop smoking or vaping at least 6 weeks prior.
  • Stop weight-loss medications or supplements 3 weeks prior.
  • Stay hydrated and eat a healthy diet.
  • Arrive at the hospital fasting and in comfortable clothing.
  • Coordinate your hospital stay and recovery with the Soulya team, who will guide you every step of the way.

What technique is used?

An advanced surgical approach addressing severe skin laxity in multiple directions:

  • Low horizontal incision to tighten and redefine the lower abdomen.
  • Vertical midline incision to remove excess skin vertically, achieving more complete results.
  • Two-directional skin and tissue removal (horizontal and vertical), ideal for significant laxity or major weight loss.
  • Abdominal muscle repair (plicature) for improved firmness and posture.
  • Tissue repositioning and adjustment, leaving a flatter, firmer, and harmonious abdomen.
  • Gluteal lift for more harmonious results.

At Soulya, this technique is performed with precision, respecting scar aesthetics and prioritizing safety, comfort, and recovery.

As with any surgical procedure, Fleur de Lis carries some risks. Soulya works under strict protocols to minimize them. Possible complications include:

  • Bruising or hematomas
  • Seromas (fluid accumulation)
  • Infection
  • Slow or irregular healing
  • Temporary changes in sensation
  • Discomfort or tightness during the first weeks
  • Vertical scar inherent to the technique
