The main difference between a standard abdominoplasty and a fleur de lis abdominoplasty lies in the extent and direction of skin removal and tightening. In a standard abdominoplasty, the excess skin is primarily removed and tightened in a vertical sense, with incisions typically made in a horizontal line across the lower abdomen. This method is most effective for patients with excess skin, predominantly around the lower abdominal region, often resulting from pregnancy or moderate weight loss. In contrast, a fleur de lis abdominoplasty is more comprehensive, as it addresses excess skin both vertically and horizontally. This technique involves an additional vertical incision, which allows for the removal of more skin, making it ideal for individuals with significant weight loss who are left with extensive sagging. Thus, the choice between these procedures depends on the patient's specific anatomical needs and the surgeon's assessment of the most effective approach to achieve the desired body contour.
