Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck
A Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck is an advanced form of a standard Tummy Tuck procedure. It involves an additional vertical incision, allowing for the removal of excess skin and tissue not only from the lower abdomen but also from the midline, resulting in a more comprehensive contouring of the abdominal area.

What is a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)?
A Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) is an extended version of a standard Tummy Tuck. It’s suitable for individuals who have lost a massive amount of weight and have significant excess skin, both up and down and side to side, along the lower abdominal wall.
During surgery, to remove the excess skin, the surgeon creates an extra incision. While a standard Tummy Tuck has a horizontal scar that sits along the bikini line, a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck has an additional incision made along the entire midline of the tummy up to the lower chest. This enables excess skin to be removed along the sides, helping to bring in the waistline and tighten the tummy wall both vertically and horizontally.
A Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck is performed in a private hospital under general anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes between three and five hours.
Suitable candidates for this procedure have experienced extreme weight loss and have an amount of excess skin that cannot be removed by a standard Tummy Tuck alone. When the amount of their excess skin extends beyond their abdominal wall and the sides, they often require an additional incision along the midline to ‘pull the sides in’.
All candidates must have maintained a stable weight for 12 months before undergoing surgery. Additionally, they should be in good mental and physical health and have realistic expectations regarding their surgical outcomes.

Frequently asked questions
Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck FAQs
Is the Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck scarring similar to a regular Tummy Tuck?
A Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck has the same scarring as a regular Tummy Tuck, but with an additional incision running along the entire midline of the abdomen up to the lower chest.
Is the recovery painful?
You can expect some pain after your procedure, particularly during the first 24 hours. Your anaesthetist will give you pain medication to cope with any pain and discomfort while you’re in hospital. You’ll also be given pain medication to take home with you.
How long should I take off work?
The amount of time you need to take off work depends on your job. If you work from home in front of a computer, you can consider resuming work after two weeks. Office work can be resumed after approximately three weeks, and light hospitality work can be resumed after approximately four weeks.
Is a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck performed with Liposuction?
Often, Dr Dona will also perform Liposuction along the sides of the stomach during the procedure. However, he will not perform Liposuction close to any incision as this can damage blood vessels and significantly increase the risk of post-operative wound complications.
How long does it take for scars to fade?
Scars from a Fleur De Lis Tummy Tuck take approximately 12 to 24 months to mature. Initially, they appear red and raised, but over time, they become paler and flatter. Your Tummy Tuck scars will never disappear entirely; however, there are actions you can take to minimise their appearance.
